The Echo or the Times (can't remember which) said a few days ago that the players we have brought in so far were coming in even if Suarez decided to stay. Barrett said last night he expects us to spend over £100m too.
The same thing was said about Ronaldo when he left for £80m and likewise Bale last summer. It isn't that easy. You can quite foreseeably reinvest it on two £30-40m players but then comes the agent fees, singing on fee and having to pay two lots of wages. I don't think you'll get an out and out replacement for Suarez in this window. Sometimes spending £100m can create more problems than it solves i.e. Spurs.
