Why Arsenal must sell to rivals over years while weaking their own squad??

Afaik, the debt of the Emirates stadium and a bunch of unsellable players on the wage bill made it impossible to splash enough cash to mount a serious title challenge in recent years.
Arsenal still has massive revenues so when FFP hits the are in a good position to get back to the top. In the mean time securing CL is the most important thing, but it's not strange that top players don't want to hang around waiting for that day, time ticks away for their careers. Arsenal has rarely sold to a team that is direct competition for CL spots.
