12th will do me. |
You would though wouldn't you (always safe).. if our defenders are solid enough this season.. we will finish 8th.. we leaked so many goals last season.. some shambolic defending. |  |

With the signings we've made I think 12th would be a bit of a disappointment as we wouldn't have progressed up the league. Obviously you would take it as staying in the PL is the most important thing. But I think 8th is definitely in the question and is an ambitious but reasonable target |  | | |

12th would be ok, 11th would be progress. Liverpool and Everton to struggle a bit, Soton to drop like a stone, Van Gaal getting Manure ticking, Arsenal with a taste for it - we could easily finish lower next year with more points than we had this year. |  |

We sacrificed progression when we gave the job to a rookie.
Anywhere above the red line will do. |  |

Anyone that thinks 12th in the toughest league in the world would be a bit of a disappointment should get their head checked out. |  |

All the whinners - "as long as we will not be relagated it will be okay"..... Jesus
We have a proven and well drilled team which is atleast as good as last year - as far as I can see we are even better (a new proven backup striker - and a proven midfielder goalscorer and no european football).
Southampton is dead and West Brom has commited suicide. The only PL team outside the classic top teams which is better then Swansea is Everton. The rest we can beat.
Realistic 9-12 th place - a super season 7-8 th place.
Why not. [Post edited 30 Jul 2014 22:40]

I would like to hope they are focusing on some better finishing when attacking goal, even more so than our defence. But as far as I've seen in the friendlies that hasn't been all that much of a priority. I hope I'm wrong.
But as it stands now. yeah mid table as per usual is what its looking like... but I always hope for single digit rank. |  |

It's no wonder that some people find themselves disappointed/angry/apoplectic/insane/psychopathic when we end up kicking round in mid/lower mid-table for much of every season. |
Anywhere from 17th upwards will do for me, with an FA Cup Final win to top it off  |  | | |

Last season we scored 54 goals in the league up there with the top 8, it was the 54 against that prevented us getting a higher position in the league, Yet so far apart from the goalkeeper we do not seem to have improved the defence, in fact with Ben having gone and still no cover for Leon and AR it looks weaker to me.
Think we will be 11th - 14th this season unless the defence is sorted. |  |

This is a sensible conclusion. It won't matter how many we score if we are full of holes in defence again.
I think we need a rb still and to replace Chico, unless Monk has sorted "el loco's" head out!
Hopefully Fabianski will be solid, specially under the high ball. And Montero's pace will cause trouble. If him and Dyer hit top form together there could be fireworks!
But every other club outside the top 7 will see us as beatable too. Newcastle, Southampton (despite losing so many players) Hull, Sunderland, Palace and Stoke will all feel they could finish higher than us.
11-14 is a decent season, 8-11 is an excellent one. | |

What a load of rubbish, you must be on a wind up! resources wise we are punching way way above our weight, how on earth do you expect a club of our size to progress season on season in the toughest league in the world |  |

Look at the squads of Southampton, Newcastle, Stoke and Palace (all who finished above us) and tell me we can't compete with them. If you think we can, then an 8th place finish is do-able. Monk is ambitious and expects the highest standard so I'm guessing that's the ultimate target this year. | | | |

I'm with you McGlash . Rayns has valid points but I think we can afford to be more optimistic and whilst 12th, 11th and ninth placed finishes are what we've managed so far we do have a good chance to end up between 10th and 8th if we get a good DM. Southampton will not do as well as last season and Newcastle and stoke could be overhauled and Hull will have the EL to contend with. Let's be positive peeps |  |

The transfer window is still open. We don't know who else may leave. And will we manage to bring in tne players we need and want.
We have to get our new signings settled in too. Not such a problem for Siggy and Fab, but Gomis and Montero could take time.
Nothing wrong with being positive, but I'm positive we won't finish higher than tenth. And I hope I'm wrong!
People who expect too much, can only get let down. Whereas I am hoping for a very happy surprise.
Does anybody think we'll struggle, or even go down? | |

If we do struggle there may some serious discomfort for the board . But realistically speaking I can't see it myself , providing we don't lose any more players and sign a good RB and DM. We'll certainly score goals and though sides like Leicester and Derby could surprise everyone (I think that may be unlikely) there will still be sides way ahead of ours in the relegation queue. | |

Happy with a 10-12th finish. Think Stoke will be the form team this season.
I have a feeling we'll see a lot of goals in our games this year at both ends given the make-up of our squad so far. |  |

Southampton and Palace have done well since their respective promotions. Palace finished above us last season and I bet nobody would have bet on that on this site.
With you it doesn't matter what anyone says, you have a go at the OP for being too optimistic then me for telling it like I see it. As a matter of interest are you going to stick your neck out and make a prediction or are you just going to hang around taking the p*ss out of other peoples posts?
