00:14Now last week, ahead of that opener against Southampton, talk was dominated around Mark Gee, the Crystal Palace defender.
00:21For the record, there's no update on him this week, as I record this now.
00:26But this week, the talk was dominated around Kieran Trippier and his future.
00:30You'll have seen the report this week that Kieran Trippier is reportedly open to exploring other opportunities.
00:38After being an unused substitute against Southampton on Saturday, he then also lost his captaincy, if you like.
00:47Rudi Gimaraes promoted in the leadership group to captain.
00:52Whilst he couldn't guarantee that Trippier would stay, he was sort of mystified of where the reports had come from.
00:58He wants Trippier to stay.
