Yes we can maximise spend but it's not the easiest task. Especially if you're looking for value as you're taking as risk. Players who are certain to be good command a much higher premium so you take risk underneath that. For every Koscielny there will be a Squillaci.
That said it's something we can do much better on. No one is saying Arsenal is perfect.
Also if all the players had been performing then maybe we would have won something but every team tends to have players who under perform. Spurs' decline towards the end was driven partly by a drop in Modric's performance. If United had a better midfield would they have won the league? In hindsight everything is easy.
However what do we actually expect from a new manager? Is it win the league?
