Simon Cox

[Arriba]

yeah he can deffo improve.he wanders out of position,drifts offside way to much, and argues with officials,but he can get better.i dont think he's good enough for prem or even upper champoinship yet.lower championship regular, i'd say probably good enough

[leefer]

Agreed Arriba...lets just hope Wilson has had a word with him,i mean theres a possability Wilson asked that Cox is not sold when accepting the job...no one at Swindon would argue if he went for mega money,but he cost us £200,000 if Reading get 25% that dont leave us with alot of profit from a million....think it would have to be at least a million and a half and i cant see us getting that in this climate......

If Cox does go, I hope we hold out for more than a measly million quid for him. If the rumours are true about the Bubble and his shit board getting 1m for Tozer - who had no first team experience, and 1m for Lukas - who was skilful but woefully short of pace, I'd expect Cox to go for at least 3m.

Cox is playing in a shaky side that give him fuck all in terms of regular quality service, yet he's approaching 20 goals already this season with months still to go. I think we all know what he's going to be capable of in a decent team, which is why bigger clubs are sniffing around.

I'm resigned to losing him as he's pure quality and deserves to make his pile in the game, but I'll be pissed if we flog him off cheap, and 1m is far too fucking cheap.

if wer'e talking man city prices then 3 million is ok.otherwise it's a fucking joke. £750,000 would be good value for him cash upfront in the real world.

[flammableBen]

I don't think it's true that we got anywhere near a million for Lukas or Tozer. Certainly not before appearance addons and such

The top of the top league one scorers don't go for 3million in recent years, possibly ever. I doubt there are more than a couple of examples over 2m.

[Simon Pieman]

I wonder who has leaked this story though?

[flammableBen]

my seeping nipples.

[deltaincline]

With sell on clauses etc, we should be aiming for well over 1m as his loss will cost us more that that when we fail to sign an adequate replacement. Someone mentioned earlier what happened when Rory Fallon was sold years ago. We didn't sign anyone capable of scoring goals to replace Fallon's, and we promptly went down a division. Unless DW has someone already lined up to replace Cox (if the rumour is even true) then we either need a big fee for him or we keep him as he's the only lifeline we have between dropping down into the basement again or staying up.

Slightly off subject, but if Fitton won't pay agents fees - a stance I admire, but not at the expense of us stagnating or getting relegated - why don't the red army offer to pay them instead? According to the trust website there is over 30k in the fund, so why not?

Me, abusive? Fuck Off

I may be guilty of using industrial language, but I'm more articulate and far better educated than half the cunts who post here and I'm fucking spot-on as usual about Simon Cox.

[flammableBen]

Better Educated? What does that mean?

I'm naturally clever and frown upon all you educationed types.

delta i jest.i like your posts and usually laugh loud, but the last one was a bit timid by your standards.
