I wouldn't even say Rafa's good and bad signings were based on how much he paid, but rather whether he wanted them in the first place. When he got the player he wanted they were usually a good buy; Reina, Alonso, Agger etc. It's when he couldn't and had to settle for second or third choice players - often therefore cheaper - he fell down so a lot of the medium priced duds like Dossena, or if he was forced into needing to buy someone (even if it was his own doing eg: Alonso) like spunking millions on Keane and Aqua.
And he obviously isn't a shocking manager else he wouldn't have won La Liga twice, the CL, the Uefa Cup and an FA Cup, numerous top 4 finishes as well as numerous small titles.
