Sunderland, along with the majority of the football world, spent countless decades operating in the transfer market in what you could call a ‘traditional’ style. You sign players to form a squad, and when one does well, you sell them on and then reinvest the money in a replacement — hopefully with some cash left over to bolster other positions.
