I'm sure with another Scudetto, and the CL experience generating more revenue, we'll be able to spend at least 40 Million next season. Mind you, there will be sales too, and we might even have a big offer for a couple of our players
We didn't have one last year, and still won the league Teams are weaker this season, particularly our main rivals from last season (Milan). Inter and Napoli will push hard, but they don't have the quality or depth in certain positions to wrest our title away from us
The thing is, once the season starts then every player mentally prepares himself very differently. And unless Madrid come knocking with a stellar offer I don't think Llorente will leave next summer, and will be open to a new contract. All the hate would be replaced by a will to play once they bench his ass or draft him back into the squad.

Of course that possibility exists. But halfway thru the season, would we bank on someone who hasn't played in 6 months or wait for the mercato opportunities in the mercato ahead. Also, lets not forget what our own priorities may be as the season wears on. And we reach the Jan market.
Another scudetto is going to be harder than most people think, B. Trust me on this. This season is not going to be a walk in the park.

I never said it was going to be easy, but with the quality and depth we possess, we should prevail. I don't think we are going to win it at a canter (15 points or more), but I believe we can finish 5-7 points clear of 2'nd

I'd say, all the preseason court distraction has affected us going into the season, no matter what Conte says. Lets see how we end the mercato window, and if those purchases have the desired effect on then morale of the eam as a whole
My guess is, Inter will be the surprise package this season. (top 3)
