Basingstoke Fox Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Sitting, wishing, waiting.... And constantly refreshing in hope of a golden post from knowitall or something.
flanimal Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 And constantly refreshing in hope of a golden post from knowitall or something. If only I was telepathic. I'd love to spend a few hours wandering around Knowitall's brain!
Koke Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Why can't Mandaric just stay the fuck out of the press. It is Pearson who should be expressing his interest in Cox, not Mandaric.
Hitesh Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Why can't Mandaric just stay the fook out of the press. It is Pearson who should be expressing his interest in Cox, not Mandaric. They should both say nothing to the media until the transfer is 100% to be honest!
flanimal Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Mandaric just loves the attention. I wouldn't be surprised if next year he turns up on Big Brother!
Asha Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 It doesn't help at all, does it? Alerts other teams to our interest and that if they're interested themselves they should start making offers.
One Half Wonder Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 N'Guessan 90% deal done.Cox 80% deal done. Unless the players have a hugh change of heart or they fail the fitness test. I expect both to sign in days. It's probably been said before, but, know It All, are you the Stig?
Jimmy Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Why can't Mandaric just stay the fuck out of the press. It is Pearson who should be expressing his interest in Cox, not Mandaric. he was talking about the clubs interest not his own personal From today's Mockery Lincoln City chief executive Dave Roberts says Leicester City are confident of luring Dany N'Guessan to the Walkers Stadium.The French ace has been in talks with City after rejecting a third and final contract offer to stay at Sincil Bank. Roberts said: "We made Dany a third good offer to keep him at the club. "We made the best offer we could, but Dany has rejected that offer and we have given him permission to talk to other clubs. "He is in talks with Leicester, who seem pretty confident about signing him. "If he agrees terms, it will be down to the two clubs to agree a fee."
foxoffderby Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Mandaric just loves the attention. I wouldn't be surprised if next year he turns up on Big Brother! so true. Keep the faith we'll get him
flanimal Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 I know everyone seems confident, but for some reason I still think Cox is unlikely. I'll believe when he's wearing a beautiful blue Joma shirt! If Celtic are interested, you would've thought that would be appealing, unless he doesn't like the cold... at least we know then that Dyer will never transfer to Celtic!
Finnegan Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 If I was a young player wanting to be seen by Premiership managers (which Cox does, he'll see us as a stepping stone unless we make big progress next year) I'd rather be playing in the Championship than the SPL, even for Celtic. He's not going to be a starter at Celtic, either.
Joe. Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 If I was a young club wanting to be seen by Premiership managers (which Cox does, he'll see us as a stepping stone unless we make big progress next year) I'd rather be playing in the Championship than the SPL, even for Celtic. He's not going to be a starter at Celtic, either. Exactly, and considering he's previously stated he won't be going somewhere to sit on the bench we can hopefully rule them out. I'm just hoping that something hasn't occured since knowitall's post yesterday, although I can't imagine he'd post something without being sure.
flanimal Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 If I was a young club wanting to be seen by Premiership managers (which Cox does, he'll see us as a stepping stone unless we make big progress next year) I'd rather be playing in the Championship than the SPL, even for Celtic. He's not going to be a starter at Celtic, either. True. The Scottish league is practically like playing in League 1 - except for the big 2. I mean, Weslowski is a City reserve, and he gets into the Dundee team who is near the top of the division! I think Cox wants to play in Premiership, and he probably feels Leicester have a chance of promotion, and he's probably been assured he'll be a big part of the team at Leicester. I mean, if Leicester got promoted, and he was a prolific scorer for them, he'd be in contention for an England call-up - in the same way Kevin Davies is (but he has to sign properly first!).
dandannieldanok Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 We'll be paying over the odds, Reading have a 40% sell-on-clause on Cox.
Stfc Ryan Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 As a swindon fan I obviously hope cox stays with us, but if he does go i'd rather him go to you guys. Celtic would be a bad choice he wouldn't get in the squad. If he does join you I can see you doing well with him he is a brilliant player and hope he can cut it at championship level. 3 hatricks and 4 braces in a team fighting relegation, just think what could do for a decent team! Anyway good luck next season and good luck in your bid to sign cox. Oh and one more thing little bird tells me the swindon board won't accept anything less than £10m
GLC Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 It was announced on the 14th May 2009 that Simon Cox had made the swap to Leicester for £1.9 million, after an initial bid was rejected early on the same day. Celtic were also believed to have had a bid rejected. People rush to OS Nothing on OS yet so it's not true!

Anyway good luck next season and good luck in your bid to sign cox. Oh and one more thing little bird tells me the swindon board won't accept anything less than £10m Cheers, man. I worry for you guys Swindon, though. 32 goals for a struggling team, without him you would've gone down - and he's going to be hard to replace. Don't suppose you'd like to take a striker called Paul Dickov off our hands? What is he like as a player? I've never really watched him play, but have watched some of his goals, and he is a great finisher. Scored a brilliant chip last season, and a crazy volley from 25-yards - and of course the goal of the season versus Wallsall!
flanimal Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 £1.9m is a little steep, but they must think Cox has a lot of potential (which is probably the case). Before this 'so-called' £1.9m deal, Nigel Pearson's biggest transfers were Tunchev at around £360,000 and Nicky Adams at £100,000! Proper spending!
dandannieldanok Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Wikipedia is bullshit, we signed Danny Murphy last season if you believe that.
Koke Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 Reading got a 40% sell on clause so I think Swindon are trying to milk every penny out of us.
Matt Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 People rush to OS Nothing on OS yet so it's not true! TBH you can't even trust the OS though, They wrote false stuff about the shirt and a few years ago they made a fuk up (About a player or signing - i'm almost certain) forgot who it was about though... Obviously you can trust it more that Wiki though.
Edmund Posted 14 May 2009 Posted 14 May 2009 at least we know then that Dyer will never transfer to Celtic! As babylon mentioned earlier in the thread, I hope KIA is not regretting this leak as I see a certain webpage (vitalfootball) is already confirming the transfer by an internal source. Really hope this doesn't jeoperdise anything.
