It is an admission of failure on Rafas part that he has fu'cked up with his transfers and therefore his management is poor.
OR, if you look at in a more positive way, we needed to buy them players even though Rafa knew and still knows they aren't good enough.
Example: I need a phone. I want an Iphone. I don't have money to buy an iPhone but i still need a phone. So ill probably buy an average nokia until i can get the money for an iPhone. even though its not exactly what i want, I can get by with it for now.
but if im never giving the money, ill have to settle for less...
Sometimes spending more can save you more in the long run. look at chelsea. They spent lots on really good players. in the last few seasons, they havent needed to spend so much.
