RUMOUR - SIMON COX (now been ruled out)

[loyalroyal4life]

I really hope we do not go for him, would like to see a different player in.

I do not think cox and hunt will work

[Royal With Cheese]

I had a mate who used to hunt cox.

[trueroyal1871]

I think he's a good player but we really need a decent target man who can hold the ball up and bring others in as well as chip in with 10+ goals a season.

[Jackson Corner]

He would just be the same as what we have got. A 5ft nothing striker who chases the ball around like a Jack Russell on speed.

[skipper]

Am I really reading this?

Cox would be a quality signing. He is better than Long, in fact all our forwards.

Right player at right price!! OK so he's no target man, and we do need one, but he would be a fantastic signing.

Don't over look it.

The same as what we've got? One word - Shane Long. Cox is worth 3 of him for a start.

The impression I get from Jonny Fordham on Tw@tter is that there is no loan signing imminent so don't hold your breath over us getting Cox, Moore or Kightly. More news on it tomorrow apparently.

How can there be more news tomorrow if there's no loan signing imminent !?

Isn't Cox in West Brom's squad of 25?

[rfcjoe]

Couldn't you text him and ask him

[Focher]

he is.

Shut this shop up

[Royal Lady]

Couldn't you text him and ask him

I could. The question was more a statement really.

He is in the 25 and therefore won't be going to anyone on loan.

[Hoop Blah]

It doesn't stop him going out on loan.

It might make it a bit more unlikely but there's nothing to say they won't send him out for a month to sharpen him up or that they only included him in the 25 because they didn't have any other centre forwards (or any other positions) they'd rather name in case of emergencies.

25 man squad plus unlimited youngsters and you can only name 18 in a matchday sqaud.

So why exactly WON'T he be going out on loan? Is there a rule that says if you are named in the 25 man squad then you can't be loaned out?

James Vaughan is in Everton's 25 man squad and he has gone out on loan.

[Royal Lady]

Why bother to name a 25 man squad then?

[Hoop Blah]

Why bother to name a 25 man squad then?

So that those not in it aren't eligible to play and so clubs can't just stockpile loads and loads of senior players.

[Royal Lady]

but what is the point of naming a player in your 25 and then sending him out on loan? Cos then you've only got 24.

Also the Premier League want u to think they give a fcuk about the national team.
