Roy seems to spend, realise he's made a mistake then cast aside the players he paid so much for? Strange!

Those are a few players, and have not all been cast aside.
Liam Miller has been with us for 2 years and done a good job. Keane has admitted he was transfer listed because of lateness and also stated that might change should he improve... clearly a warning.
I don't think Andy Cole was ever intended as a first team player. He was also free.
Halford... well I cannot repeat the stories since it's caused trouble elsewhere, needless to say I hear his on pitch performance was the least of his worries.
Anthony Stokes is 19, and still playing first team football for us. Cleared off the line in last week's game v Everton.
Sunderland have always had a massive turnover of players, I don't think it is merely a Keane thing.
