Tbh, I'm not overly fussed about how much we might have to spend in the summer - for one thing it might actually force us to sell before we can buy, but also I'm not actually convinced that we do our best work at that [expensive] end of the market anyway? I'm mostly anxious to see whether Edu and his scouting team can keep the unknown gems coming - Martinelli was a good start, but how many more can they come up with? What other markets do we have expertise in, or is it just Brazil / South America? How is foreign recruitment going to work after the UK leaves the EU?
