Quality striker and high-profile signing - fans on changes for next season

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

Here are some of your comments:

Steven: A quality striker is a must. Another 10 goals last season and they could be playing in the Champions League.

Dave: I can't remember the last time I went into a close season being comfortable with what we have. Not just players, the owner, manager and board. We really need to keep the pedal down on progression and not ease up. Like anyone we want new additions to the team but holding on to the current players or getting good value on movement is all we can ask for. A significant investment in the academy is necessary but that's long-term.

Jura: We definitely need an out-and-out goalscorer for the new campaign. I was absolutely proud of what we achieved last season but we lost out on so much more because of our failure to consistently score goals.

Rob: It think four need to leave and a money signing to show we are ready and for European football. Bowen on loan deal. Rashford if he doesn't get move to Barcelona. Maybe even Stones to secure the defence. I know outside the box but European football as a last-chance trophy for some of the older players might be tempting.
