I'm becoming ever more confident that we will eclipse last seasons points total. I could definitely see 70-75 points assuming we get in a left back and another striker as has been discussed, by the board, manager and fans alike. Our squad is going to be a little bigger than last season - I'll refrain from saying better as we need 10 games or so for the new signings to bed in - and we are more experienced for sure. 75pts will likely see top 8, with 70 likely top 10. Both would be improvements on last season. Couple more years and I really think we might be there...we're about to really reap the rewards of a well thought out and executed Academy system!
Liverpool will be trying to buy our youngsters in two to three years time, hopefully we'll be in the Prem to and won't need to sell them.
