00:00 I think Martin Dubravka is another one who falls into the category similar to St Maximin.
00:04 He's helped during some of the darkest times and kept Newcastle in the Premier League almost single-handedly at times.
00:11 So I think he's one who certainly has a legacy at Newcastle should he leave.
00:17 And we've already, I guess, touched upon it this time last year, or at least September last year,
00:23 just after he joined Manchester United on loan, when we all thought was the end of his Newcastle career.
00:29 But he's come back and whether he leaves again, I think he's the type of player who will want first-team football.
00:36 He's probably so used to that in Newcastle to then lose it and then Newcastle have the joint best defensive record in the Premier League.
00:45 Nick Pope keeps so many clean sheets, it's probably as much as it's good for the side and as much as I'm sure he's happy for Nick Pope,
00:51 it's probably dented his ego slightly and he'll be potentially looking elsewhere, looking at options,
00:59 because Wylie obviously speaks very highly of the club and Champions League football as an incentive.
01:08 Being one of three, four goalkeepers, Nick Pope's the clear first choice.
01:14 But then after that, it's him and Loris Karius. Whether you want to be involved in that, basically being a training goalkeeper when you're 34 years old,
01:23 you're coming to the end of your career, I'm not sure.
