"Of 46 players signed since 2009, Sunderland have sold only three – Darren Bent, Simon Mignolet and James McClean for a profit – so Bruce, Martin O’Neill, Paolo Di Canio, Gus Poyet, Dick Advocaat and Moyes must all shoulder varying shares of managerial responsibility."

Streven N'Zonzi is one for sure although you wouldn't call it a great piece of business for us.
