Sunderland boss Gus Poyet is happy with their transfer work this summer.
Of the seven signings made by Poyet in conjunction with new sporting director Lee Congerton so far this summer, only former Brighton winger Will Buckley has no experience in the English top flight.
Poyet said: "We have a plan, where we want to be, what we think we need to have, how we can improve from the past.
"We (himself and Congerton) went through what we need, the numbers, the names, if you know them (the players) it's easier because you've watched them."
