Far from it, my rule of thumb is that 50% of signings tend not to work out. This is precisely why spreading our resources across too much of the team is a bad idea. We need to invest enough in each area that we can be confident that, even if one or two buys don't work out, we still see an improvement in that area. If we do bring in a trio of new attackers, as we appear to be aiming for, we can reasonably hope at least one or two of them will work out.
And as for your comment about us struggling, well, yes, that will absolutely happen at times, and it will happen because our midfield isn't great. But if we fix midfield instead of attack, then attack will be why we struggle instead. We were 15th last season because we had shortcomings right across the squad, you don't fix that in a single season.
