Surely after Plessis brilliant debut against Arsenal we can see if he can cut the mustard and keep the dough for other targets.

I agree with John here. Ultimately ill back Rafa's judgement, but i'd much prefer to see some of the youngsters given promotion to the first team squad. I think we need quality not quantity now.
I think Rafa sometimes has other motives when buying these players for cut price fees. For example, Jan Kromkamp. Swapped with Josemi for around 2million. Sold 6months later for around 4.5m if i remember correctly. I think he sees some players as ways of gaining a fast increased return on the price paid for them. I can see something similar happening with Voronin, sold to Holland or Germany for a few million, little profit made.
We need to remember though, all speculation at the moment.
