Simon Cox

[Babylon]

Cool... well even if we go down this year we'll have a stunning front line!!!!

[Mickey O'Neil]

Excuse my ignorance, but who is N'Guessan?

Hope that wasn't a rhetorical question.

A French, former Teddy Bear <_< who's a winger for Lincoln.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

If Cox and N'Guessan are coming to Leicester, what kind of line up will that mean? Something like:

Stockdale

Morrison Tunchev Hobbs Berner

Gradel King Oakley N'Guessan

Fryatt

Cox

????? Or do you leave out Fryatt for Cox and Howard? Cox gives us some speed, but he's pretty short, isn't he.

Where the hell is Mr Lloyd Dyer?

FACT: We cannot drop Howard unless there is a similar player to him coming to the club

[Brainy]

Funny how N Guessan walks straight into the team..

[maddog]

FACT: Howard didn't work in the Championship last season and was probably the worst performer with Fryatt.

Long ball shit, no pace strikers don't work in the Championship.

If we are pushing for a playoff place we need Cox and another pacy striker in the team.

We have 0 pace up front currently. I think every single Leicester fan in the world would be delighted with us signing Cox.

Please sign please please please.

That's what I mean, it creates problems - albeit good problems!

Surely Cox is a replacement to Fryatt, I can't think of a way the two could play in the same team when Leicester seem reluctant to ditch the long ball upfield tactic. N'Guessan, if he is a winger, is obviously going to cancel out Gradel or Dyer - unless he can be used as a target man upfront.

Interesting to find out how this works (unless it's all speculation - then scew it!!!! <_< ).

[Craig]

If Cox signs it's a genuine display of ambition.

[Unit]

GOOD GOOD

[Ashley]

Well, if this is true. WOW!

[Corky]

Delighted if this is true

[Ashley]

[MarkDeVries]

Hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Interesting, would like it to be true but I agree with what has been said.

I hope we haven't paid over the odds for him.

Still, surely good news it's on Tv?

[lildave3]

Can't wait to see all your reactions when Pearson reveals him, Steve Howard and Jack Hobbs are just doing the full monty for charity.

[FleckneyFox]

Could be awesome and he will fire us up near the playoffs. Or he and Fryatt could both prove that they cant cut it above League 1.

[Kilworthfox]

Can anyone verify this story?

Answered my own Q!

Also

N' Guessan

We need Knowitall's words of wisdom to confirm this.

I don't see why he can't do a job for us. He has one thing I've not seen in years from the front men and that is pace. Pace people. It frightens championship defences.

It will see us near the top.

Our team needs - Physical presence. Pace. Pride. Passion.

These will see us do well.

If this goes through it shows we mean business. MM means business. NP means business. We won't be taken lightly next season.

Someone make a knowitall signal light that we can shine into the sky everytime we need his info. He is like The Dark Knight to The Blue Army!

n'guessan won't start, from all reports he isn't quite the finished article yet, expect to see him as an impact sub....

Swindon have turned down an offer from us according to the BBC (spit)....

They reckon Celtic are involved too.

Cox according to wookipedia is 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m)

Fryatt according to wookipedia is 5 ft 11 in (1.8 m)

Not much difference and Cox looks like a gem.
