We have built the spine with mostly young players. We have bought smart. As long as the players we have bought this summer perform up to their abilities (and more in most cases as most of these players are still improving), than there won't be the need of another summer like this in the near future. All we would need to do next year for example, is add a couple of "cherries" to the top if the opportunity presents itself. I am talking 1 or 2 players. 70-80mil max for both.
We are doing most of the work now, so that next year we may only sign 1-2 players. We are not going to buy 10 new players every summer. Of course, there is always going to be players that leave and need to be replaced, but you get my point.
Look at Real M. Who have they bought? They don't really need to. Look at Bayern. They got Tolisso, Sule, and James. The rest were free/cheap. We should aim to be in that position. In a position to buy as little as possible every summer. If we can achieve that, it would mean that the management have done their job right with planning for the future, executing, and most importantly, going after the right players.
I think this is what we are working towards.
