This guys highlight concern anyone else? Not saying he isn't talented, but most of his goals seem to be pretty routine. Nothing really jumps off the screen at me.

We finished 7th last season, CV wasn't good enough and got sent back. what more convincing do they need? If they want top 4 they have to pony up.
"Shocked"? ......Not really. I suspect that's your words; not a quote.
No harm in sounding the guy out..... Peeps would have moaned just as much if we hadn't.
If its a CV like loan (to possibly buy) I doubt they care.
If its a £10-20m punt I doubt itll come up on their radar.
If its a £60,000,000+ investment - itll get their attention.
Perhaps "convincing" isnt the best word, perhaps "seeking confidence" "wanting comfort" "assurances its a good deal" would be more appropriate?
Ultimately, if a business is to spend that sort of money, impacting finances over years, and with the potential to be a loss as well - Id expect the board to have a few questions.
Because they all didnt get the vital players when they needed to them. I'm sure you don't need me to go over the history of this. The only club to spend nothing in the 2018 summer transfer window.
I remember similar being levelled at Berba when he signed (Though I think they are very different players with the ball). A player who never seems marked when he gets his chances is a player who knows how to find space in the box.
Then again I said the same about Janssen based on his Erevidisie highlights reel
Only looks routine cause he sticks them in the back of the net. Sign of a good striker is making stuff look easy
Only have to look at Werner to see a player who makes the routine look difficult
So what you are saying is that after 7th place finish we should just panic around and buy bunch of players that we can get our hands on?
You seem like a guy with really well thought through plans and strategies
Bit mixed tbh,Hey Stanley! How you doing, homez?
Graduated first of my class, got the job I wanted so I have that going for me, which is nice.
On the other hand, my mother is not doing well, suffered a (brain?) stroke two weeks ago and today I had to drive her to the ER again. It's bit confrontational that this sort of transition started from "my parents take care of me" to "I need to take care of my parents". It's all a bit scary, but we're surrounded by a lot of love and support from friends and family.
Been a bit absent from the forum lately, I like visiting this site because I'm too curious about Spurs and I just love all the inside jokes. When Mourinho was fired, I knew the arguing amongst each other would dominate the threads too much, so I took a step back, waiting for better times to come, and this site becoming more enjoyable to read again.
You think Martinez is a panic buy?So what you are saying is that after 7th place finish we should just panic around and buy bunch of players that we can get our hands on?

Soldado tried hard but only scored 2 goals, how is that success ?
Right but we have ignored them countless times.
If the money isn't there Levy won't sanction it.
I am just guessing and not claiming I have any inside info.
Say Paratici has a certain budget to work with but then a player like Martinez or even Messi becomes available; so he calls Levy to see if he is willing to increase the budget in such a case.
In any club, whether it's the manager/head-coach or DoF, they always have to go through their chairman. Or maybe Levy prefers, say, Vlahovic.
F.ex., although do not believe that Spurs will buy Messi, I could believe that Levy would not have been against the idea if PSG had not entered into the frame, as Spurs have no chance to match their financial packet.
It's lots of money and if such purchases fail if they will have severe consequences.
Any boss, not just an EPL "boss", will like to have a say regarding major expenses.
There were the right players available AND attainable? We had the money / facility at the right time? The player(s) wanted to come?
Its a bit simplistic to flatly say "didnt get the players when they needed them". There are a multitude of factors and reasons at play to effect the outcomes.
And even then - lets say you are absolutely right. Is there no room to learn from these things and change tact? Or are we to believe "this is how we used to operate, so this is how we will operate for the rest of time"!?
We have a new stadium, the entire project designed to boost our income and ability to invest. Perhaps with that now in place we have the ability to go out and take a shot at a Martinez type opportunity.
And regardless of any of that, if youre spending that much outside of the norm, the board (of any company) are going to want to understand what its all about before signing it off.
And that's where I say Levy would need to butt out and let the DOF do his job or sack him and take the job himself. I don't Levy is interested in Messi but saying we are makes us looks ambitious, free publicity.
Watch us go from Martinez, to a last day of the window league 2 wonder striker signing
yep 100% and this is my worry. We are fucking around with the striker situation and I can just see another Frazier Campbell situation. Will be livid if we sell Harry Kane at the end and we are replacing him with panic buys like Ivan Toni for instance. You literally can see it.
