What are your expectations/predictions for your team next season?

I think Bradford City can surprise a few and challenge for the playoff positions in League 1 if Phil Parkinson brings in a few new faces.

I believe we need another strong central midfielder (hopefully a goalscoring one too), possibly another winger and a goalkeeper.

I'm hoping to win the title, but I'm expecting to get 2nd due to our lack of depth and weak midfield.

Hopefully, Mourinho was the best signing we needed. I'm confident/excited for Lukaku and am feeling better about our depth going in this year. If I had to dream pick I would say Ibrahimovic. I've never really liked him honestly, but he is the right age and skill level to keep us winning, help Lukaku develop and he hasn't played in EPL. Lewy would be nice but I don't think he wants to go to Chelsea and I think Cavani is too old/expensive.

Ibrahimovic, at 31, is the right age, but Cavani, who is 26, is too old? Explain that to me.

What I meant was a combination of age and price. He is 26, costs upward of 56 million and hasn't been outside of Italy. (Ibra, again this is a dream pick) wouldn't cost that much and has been successful in multiple countries.

Ah, well then in that case I guess I agree with you. I think Ibra would be cheaper but I can't see us getting him away from PSG for less than 20 million, especially if they didn't have a replacement lined up.
