This is basically where City are at now - they have the ability to add 1-2 players each window and keep the quality level high.
City are also far better at selling players than we are though, but that’s only because they have players people want. If clubs want your players (because they are high quality) the price gets driven up. Basic supply/demand.
Arsenals last player we had whom everyone would have wanted, and I mean everyone, was Henry.
We’ve managed to sell some mediocre players for over-inflated fees (Ox, Iwobi) but we’ve never sold one of our prime players for what they are worth.
In our current squad, only Saka would likely command a £100m+ fee - and we would never want to sell him so I expect our player sales to continue a similar pattern.
