Working on the assumption that Michael Keane and Steven Defour will be sold, George Boyd leaves and Michael Kightly and Joey Barton have already left the club and Dean Marney having a long term injury, then I think that leaves us needing to strengthen our options at centre back, wide midfield and central midfield to cover those losses.
We also need cover for right and left back with Jon Flanagan's loan coming to an end.
Finally I think we need to add to our attacking options given we've been one of the fewest goal scorers in the league. A busy, important summer awaits.

There is always room for improvement so I would expect some strengthening in all areas except goalkeeper.
Firstly, I would like more quality in midfield. George Boyd and Scott Arfield have been great players for us and will be useful squad members but to improve, we must bring in more quality as it’s probable that Steven Defour won’t be here come the new season.
We will also need a central defender as we look like losing Michael Keane. James Tarkowski looks a decent replacement but we still need strength in depth.
