Colour me daft but I think the recruitment should be beholden to the vision and system the manager wants to play. Think there are a lot of mental gymnastics going on to circumvent the seemingly unchangeable situation regarding our owner. Of course Rafa isn't immune but there's nothing to say his tactics don't work in this league. Spurs is no Yardstick, Huddersfield could have gone either way and the cup is the cup. I also think social media caricatures many points of view. It's toxic.
It's not that his tactics won't work, it's more when it any certain game we need something different he just goes like for like. It's only a concern as i think we'll be ok, well if we sign a couple soon. Aye a manager should get the players he wants to fit his system, that's the part that is really worrying, how long will Rafa put up with that not happening.
