So we made 109m ONLY from the CL. That' doesn't even include TV rights, advertising, stadium, etc. We are killing it financially.
We proved last summer we can spend now, that isn't the issue.
IMO the only "tough" buys will be abroad (Tolisso, etc).
We can use our fringe players/youth players to lower the costs on players like K.Balde, Bernadeschi, etc. That's probably one of the main reasons why we are so focused on youth simply so we can use them are bargaining chips to lower the cost on players in Italy.
We need those difference makers. I maintain that I want Sanchez before anyone else. Then Tolisso. We already have Schick so after the first two we can buy local for all I care.

I don't care what defenders you have, you can't keep a team like Madrid from scoring when they dominate possession the way they did. The biggest fault lies with the midfield, or lack of.
Sure, but it was the same midfield that got us to the final as well. We mentally caved after the second goal, everyone was bad in possession. No reason at all we shouldn't have beat them yesterday.
