Let’s face it, £15m shouldn’t even get you the arse print in Jack Clarke’s sofa. You can cut it many ways but it’s a bad deal in terms of remuneration, which should be far higher. The timing is awful - eight days remain of this window, and prices are at a premium (except here). The mood of the fans come Saturday will be questionable, as if we need that. Then there’s Jack himself, could have got a far better move than a parochial almost club who’ll be coming striaght back to the Championship. He hasn’t agitated for a move, there was no pressure to sell.

Is £15m a fair fee for Sunderland’s talisman Jack Clarke?

Sunderland On SI

Alexandre Mendy 'will not give up' on Sunderland move as Black Cats increase offer

For me, the best thing so far has been how we’re evidently more organised than at any point since Alex Neil got us promoted. It was fairly obvious in pre-season but it’s been even more obvious in the first two games of the season, and that’s seriously encouraging.

What do you make of Sunderland’s start to life under Régis Le Bris?
