Did Ralph really say this.
“We want to give him the chance to make the next step,”

All for £15m?
His shot taking is very much like Armstrongs, he’s quick, agile and runs all day. Wonder if they’ll consider taking Long/Hoedt/Forster in px?

With Defoe going to Rangers apparently
He said those exact words in his press conference.
But he was talking about helping Steven Davis go to Rangers.
Not sure where this article or the apparent Sun article made the connection to the Japanese mush.
Thanks for clearing that up. I read it in HITC and wondered why he would say it, unless the player had already signed. Otherwise he’d just be putting the price up.
I’d take the lad though 
Shop window innit (as it was last season) (and will be until he leaves/retires/proves Captain Wrong correct).

Lets come back to this in the summer, my guess is his gone this window.
Funny how you believe local media as you agree with it over other news…
Is this the first time a manager has told the honest truth about a player in the transfer window?
So he was ‘gone’ last summer. Now he’s ‘gone’ this winter, and we’ll revisit it in the summer.
It’s easy to be right when you keep guessing isn’t it?

Has he signed a new contract, shown intent to stay?
2 and a half years left on current contract and he’s nearly 30. Do you want to just pay him more now for the sake of it?

Of course not, it makes sense with his performances, his “injury” and clubs wanting him that we’d sell as Kruegar has hinted before a sell before you buy policy.
I don’t reckon he’ll be gone in this window. We may look to move him on in the summer if we can get a few quid for him and Ralph has a (younger) replacement in mind.
The club has reported he has had minor back surgery, what makes you doubt this?
Perhaps that’s Targett and he’s trying to gee him up?
It’s got to be either motivating or demotivating for Targett to hear that.
Perhaps that’s what Hutch wants?
Personally I don’t think Bert has got it in him to ‘go again’ under a new manager.
Hope I’m wrong but even with the armband under Hughes he was swinging the lead.

Until we see the medical notes we will not believe it. And the bloody swabs for DNA matching please.
