If we can continue to make Pogba, Coman, Vidal-like signings, then it's not that depressing.

This is a 80m mercato without counting payments for players we have to pay next year. Not gonna happen.
We could do better but it won't happen as long as we have so many installments to pay. That's why it's time to stop with the depth thing and go for quality even if it means one or two players per mercato.
We have a very strong team and good depth. Romulo and Pereyra look like good signings while Ogbonna and Caceres stepped their game up. There's always Padoin and Evra who are capable replacements and we're finally looking good in attack. It always could be better but next year I don't think we're going to break the bank for a top class player. We have those installments to pay and there will be more of those because we have co-owns to resolve as well. I think all of us can take for granted that Berardi and Rugani are coming back. That's 20-25m to be spent easily and we still don't know what will happen do Gabbiadini.
That's why I expect another quiet mercato. We already have Coman who's looking good and we'll add to that Berardi. IMO we will go for one more winger/am considering the possibility that Gio and Pepe would go (which they should). I think it could be Shaqiri, so far he didn't renew and we already know we were interested before. His contract is running out in 2016 if I'm not mistaken.
If things went that way I wouldn't really complain as long as we don't sell anyone important. We still have some 'dead weight' to offload too. Lickily there are a couple of contracts running out so we'll have it easier a bit.

Either one of Marcelo and Rodriguez would be dope but I can't see it happening 
Not true. Giovinco and Pepe are most probably out and Pereyra can play in the midfield as B2B. Pirlo is not getting younger and Asamoah won't be leaving LB spot anytime soon IMO.
We still don't know what will happen to Tevez. Next year could be his last one. Still it'd look like:
Not too flashy I guess but I wouldn't mind that tbh.

Llorente/Morata
Tevez/Coman - Shaqiri/Berardi
Pogba/Pereyra - Pirlo/Marchisio - Vidal/Romulo
Asa/Evra - Chiellini/Ogbonna - Barzagli/Bonucci - Licht/Caceres

I know we're not exactly Real Madrid in terms of attracting players but i'm sure we could at least tempt a fucking young swiss left back playing at a crap, inconsistent club ffs let's not pretend he's fucking Messi.
But Marcelo would be more doable imo as Madrid still have Coentrao, he's expressed a desire to join us one day and even though he's ridiculously attack minded he'd rape Serie A imo and would do just fine in the CL.

No doubt if a bunch of rich teams are in for him, we'll probably lose. But we should absolutely be confident in striking a deal for him
Plus there's quite a few clubs we can rule out who seemingly have no need for a left back
I mean we are talking about full backs here, I very much like what I see of him for club and country. We should try, if not we should see how Madrid feel about giving Marcelo up
