"I had to call my agent to find out what was going on because I didn't know anything about it and nor did he.

"I've got three years left at Everton and at the end of that I want to be done playing so what happens in between that I have no idea. It is a business, but I'm happy where I am. I don't know anything about those rumours, I have to be honest."

There's more about Danny Ings, with Sean Dyche asked about the frontman's recent trip to Spain where it is believed he had talks with David Moyes' Real Sociedad.

I'm not sure Dyche took the question very seriously, or at least not judging by his answer.

"You know the hats and the donkeys you used to get back the 70s, which my folks used to bring back and tell me they were fantastic - he brought me one of them, which I thought was a nice gesture," says the boss, deadpan.

Sean Dyche is the next Premier League boss to share his pearls of wisdom with us and first up is the topic of Danny Ings, where the striker's future may lie, and whether all the speculation may affect the form of the Clarets top-scorer.

"There is no concern from me. I have said all along, his performances make it quite obvious he is enjoying his football," said the boss.

"He looks relaxed. One of the biggest things I have said to him for the last two years I have been here, other than tactical pointers, is smile and enjoy your football and there's no reason why he shouldn't do that.

"That's when he's at his best I feel and I think he's doing that now."

"While much of the interest in Barcelona is suddenly focusing on the Wolff-Nasr collision, Kimi Raikkonen has set another fastest lap in the Ferrari - this time quicker than Lewis Hamilton's pole time from the Spanish Grand Prix last May.

"That does not necessarily mean anything in itself - winter testing times are often quicker than those from a grand prix because the cooler conditions are more suitable for fast times.

"But the regularity with which the Ferrari is setting these times is certainly catching people's attention.

"The big unknown, though, is how much fuel the car has on board - and Ferrari are not doing especially long runs. Until they do, no firm conclusions can be drawn."

An open letter to all Sunderland fans from manager Gus Poyet has been posted on the Sunderland website, external - and it's a plea for supporters to stay united.

"Of course I went through good and bad times, successful and not so good ones, winning or losing finals, but I left every single club having a recognition from the fans for my honesty, passion and professional work.

"So let's make sure that we don't let anyone to break our relationship, I promise you that I care and want to win as much as you do.

"I invite all of you to stay positive, to be strong, closer to each other and keep believing in what we started together last year, working harder to make it better this season."

"An update on the collision between the Williams of Susie Wolff and the Sauber of Felipe Nasr earlier this afternoon.

"The word from the Williams camp is that Wolff was on an 'out lap' - the first out of the pits and therefore not going at racing speed - and found herself punted off the track.

"The team is not worrying too much about what happened and instead focusing on repairing the car. The word from Sauber is merely that the two drivers collided.

"However, the stewards have summoned the Sauber folks to the control tower, and they are reviewing the incident."
