We need attacking midfeilders, this was our issue last season and another forward. Defensively we are sound. In the promotion season, 12 players made 30 or more appearances, 9 are still at the club. Rumours gibson is staying unless a daft offer 25m + comes in. We have a good core of championship players like Ayala, friend, Gibson, Clayton, forshaw, leadbitter etc who all know what it takes to be promoted. We have also added a lot to the promotion side, Bamford etc who was championship player of the season 2 years ago with us. Monk will be backed heavily by Gibson and has stated he will most likely have the best budget in the league.
I'd expect us to be around the top 2 but expect at least 5 or 6 attacking players coming in before the start of the season.
