Top quark physics prospects with 10 fb^{-1} at 7 TeV

This paper presents a personal point of view on the prospects open for top quark physics analyses at the LHC with 10 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions at 7 TeV. We discuss the main directions for improvement for the analyses presented at TOP2011 when moving to a regime where systematic uncertainties are the limiting factors, and suggest some new studies that become possible for the first time thanks to the larger statistics.
