I refuse to believe that next season we have to $#@!ing sell big in order to buy SMS 
If that's the case, it's truly embarrassing.

I agree to all who said this was a good mercato. I always like to use this social policy rule: average level is as good as our poorest, so in football terms our team is as good as our worst players. so when we remove Rincon and lemina and replace them with bentancur and matuidi, this brings our worst players to others. we'll yeah, we still have Sturaro, but overall we improved.
Well not from me you weren't
because in the last 2 Summers we've cut down our spending and unlike 3-4 years ago Buffon and Barzagli are on the brink of retirement/regressing and Chiellini is old and often broken now.
I'd like to think it's because we're waiting for some glorious opportunities in the next year or so but the Neymar deal has further priced WC players far, far out of what we're willing to spend (Without selling a star player obviously)
If the best players go for well over 100M, absolute elite ones look like going for 150-200
The bracket below them I.E the Lukakus of the World are now 70-90M
Average Swansea midfielders go for 40M
We can't get by spending pennies any more. Unless we defy the odds and continually find WC Prospects for 30-40M

1 We bought Higuain last summer.
2 We just bought Matuidi for Swansea midfield price, We bought Matuidi and Berna for 2 Swansea mids.
Caldara will replace Barzagli
Buffon is the only big major question really. Who will we replace him with.
Big money also means good profit with sales, we might sell Dybala for 120-150.

As has been covered multiple times, that was due to us selling a key player for a record fee. I know management said Higuain was not due to Pogba leaving but that's grade A BS.
Net spend is ridiculously low for 2 Summers in a row.
Spending even 300M in one Summer is not impressive if it's covered by 350M worth of sales.

People are so overly critical of the Higuian signing. The logic behind us needing a world clasd CF to make the step up in CL was sound and, that summer, paying higuains release was the only chance juventus realistically had to do that.
I mean for once we actually did cough up the required money to sign a world class player. It is exactly what this club should be doing.
Obviously this summer we had to spread the shekels out across more positions due to formation change and players leaving but ideally, for te future, we should be looking towards more signings like this big money spread across fewer players
