Attacking upgrade and change transfer policy - fans on changes for next season

We asked for your views on what one thing needs to change at Newcastle United before the new campaign and why.

Here are some of your comments:

Ross: Firstly, I believe we need an upgrade in attack. Bruno Guimaraes is our top scorer with nine Premier League goals. A 20-plus goal striker is a must if we want to get back into the top six. Secondly, we need a right-back to replace Trippier, a first-choice goalkeeper, a midfielder and wingers for either side, at least. Should be a piece of cake!

Michael: Just one change? I'll have to go broad then and I'd say we need to change our transfer policy which hopefully Ross Wilson will do. Basically, be a bit more Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford and find talent that the big six are not looking at. Last summer showed we cannot compete with them, although having a CEO and director of football might help! We kind of did that in the early phase with the £30m fees paid out but they were replaced by the £50m-plus. Then we wonder why PSR or whatever replaces it is an issue and surprised (looking at you, Eddie) when we have to sell Anderson. Selling has to be much better as well to generate funds but at least that has started better this summer. Phew!

Brisvegas: We need to get our identity back. To that end, I would reluctantly sell Tonali to Manchester City and buy back local boy Anderson from Forest...

Paul: The ground needs to be broken and the new stadium on its way to show that the owners are serious about taking the club forward. Until that happens then buying and selling players is just pocket money as the club will be unable to compete and grow to match the top clubs in revenue and status.

Connor: There's a lot that could do with changing and probably should change, but with only one senior goalkeeper (Pope) with competitive appearances for us? 100% a new goalkeeper is on the books (or at least I hope so!)

Alex: Obviously Gordon needs replacing. Barnes can do a job on the left if we were to get in some untested younger left-wingers. Right and left back positions need cover. And an extra centre-back cover wouldn't go a miss. With Schar and Burn ageing and Botman having his injuries, we really lack depth at the back. Goalkeeper is a must. Probably need two as most of our backups have left (Vlachodimos pending). Then if anyone else leaves, they need to be replaced. And yet we still have fans dreaming of a new striker or a new right winger... I haven't even got faith the parts we're missing will be dealt with!
