Simon Cox released by Reading

[Ninja Elephant]

The difference between someone of his quality and what we've had, even at this level, is significant. He is stronger than you'd think, quicker than you think and is an unquestionably good finisher. What a signing he would be, and like Kayal, he would be cheaper than he should be. He's struggled at Reading but don't let that put anyone off, the man is Championship quality and in a team as strong as ours he would be goalbothering every game.

We should not even consider Simon Cox. Firstly, he has been released by Reading. Secondly, he is rubbish. Can't believe you would berate Baldock like you do and then suggest Simon Cox. I assume you're joking.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Scores about 1 in 5 at Championship level, so we'd expect 8 from him in a season.

No thanks.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

I think our ambitions are slightly higher than this ordinary striker

 

[mona]

Only really succeeded at Swindon when Greer was there.

 

[Oscar]

It's going to be a long summer.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Trust me, there is no comparison between Cox and Baldock. Absolutely none at all - I've seen more of him than most on here, he's a quality striker who would score goals for us. Remember that Cardiff bombed out Rudy Gestede and he scored how many for Blackburn? Simon Cox would be the ideal horse for our particular course.

Don't. One goal since December 2014. He's pony.

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Fantastic at Swindon in League 1 and not been close to replicating that since. I don't suppose you watched him "more than most on here" when he was at Swindon perchance?

 

[lawros left foot]

He'd be over priced even on a free

Shit the bed, I'll have some of whatever you're smoking.

Another thread deserving of the thumbs down button

 

[Whitechapel]

What's this? Ninja Elephant knows literally nothing about football.

I truly am shocked.

 

[Eeyore]

We finished third in Championship, not League 2.

 

[theroyal]

We also released Hal Robson-Kanu and Anton Ferdinand, if you to add further quality to your squad.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Simon Cox is better than Baldock in every area, he'll go somewhere and score a lot of goals if he's given the patience and gametime that Baldock was here.

It's easy to mock, harder to put forward realistic suggestions.

 

[Marshy]

i would take Vydra over him every day of the week. And he is Jiri's buddy ;-)

 

[BensGrandad]

Cox would be a vast improvement on COG but having said that either of them could have done us a turn as back up to Hemed with BZ out.

 

[Luke93]

He was average, then got injured, and is now shit. Reading releasing him says a lot.

 

[BhafcBlues]

I'm sorry, but we finished 3rd in the championship, on the brink of promotion to the premier league ... Simon cox is not the bloody answer to get us over the line, he's been released from a shit mid table side, why on earth woild we waste time and money trying to bring him in.
