Player Valuation: £30m
I think if we can get in the top 6 it will be an excellent achievementI prefer waiting till our and other clubs transferbusiness has been done before giving a definite opinion on that. As I look at it now, 8th place doesn't have to be such a bad result. See what the outgoings and incomings gonna be.
No matter the 2 last seasons under Martinez, we still have a pretty decent squad to start with. Now if Stones and Lukaku are going to leave. Not so sure on that myself, as there won't be that many clubs prepared/able to match our (supposedly) £65m asking price, we'll have to take a step back before moving forward.
Imo the top 4 will become more of a top 7 or 8 in the coming years with Liverpool, Spurs, West Ham and us being the most likely to make that step up. If we finish eight in the end but Koeman lays a solid foundation to build upon than it wouldn't bother me too much.
As I said though, I'd prefer to wait till after the transfer window to really form an opinion on what league finish would be acceptable.
I think we need to be realistic though, this Prem us tougher than it's ever been
