Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat has suggested that some of his squad will be forced to leave the club by the influx of new signings.
The Dutchman revealed last week that he wanted to add at least two more players to his team, despite making five additions over the course of the summer.
Advocaat told the Sunderland Echo: "I always say, and maybe not everyone agrees with me, that if you bring players in, then some will go.
"As a player, if I'm happy here and no one comes in, then I think I'll have a chance. Then they're not going to go.
"But if we do bring players in, then some will go, with all respect to them, because they're not going to get a chance."
Sunderland were defeated 4-2 by Leicester City in their opening match of the Premier League season.
