Yes, a new keeper to replace Ramsdale, a new DM option to replace Partey if he leaves and because both Jorginho and Partey are the wrong side of 30, and another attacking option would be fine.
We have depth all over the pitch but they have to improve enough that Arteta will start using them. Odegaard is a good example. He plays too much because Arteta still doesn't seem to trust ESR or Vieira enough. But if you tried to buy someone to provide depth, it might be hard to find someone better than those two who would be willing to be 2nd choice.
Goes back to my point about the team improving just by being a year older, it has to happen.
Trouble with Odegaard is he is always going to play when fit. He isn't just the fulcrum of our possession and captain, he is also the lead point in the high press, the organising pivot. You are talking about being able to rest him about 4 or 5 times a year, at key points.
Same with Saka to an extent. But as you say, if he isn't going to use Smith Rowe and Nelson, there isn't much point in keeping them.

Quite right too. You never know with him. He might even buy us a two-hundred million pound striker, surprising us all.
It actually does make sense, the way it made sense for Manchester City last season. Arguably they didn't need one, but it did provide that little bit extra they wanted, perhaps not in terms of goals specifically, but in terms of FOCUS on scoring goals throughout the whole squad.
