SSN app paper talk saying Sheff Wed are interested in Simon Cox. If there's money involved i'd be inclined to take it. Wanted him to come good but just never quiet took off. Good engine but missed a lot of chances and we all know he will leave and get at least 15 goals first season he leaves.

Unless it's for over £1.5 million i'd keep him. Still a good team player.

I wouldn't be overly sorry to see him go to be fair. Yeah, he runs all day but I don't think that's enough and maybe it's time for Coxy to move elsewhere; after all, you don't win games by just running around a lot. It's a shame because I've no doubt he has talent and I do quite like him as a player. but for me he's not productive enough goals-wise (and I know he's been playing a slightly different role), I mean when he's in the strikers role.

He is a player that divides opinion. I like strikers who put the ball in the net all the hard work is a bonus cox does one of these things and its not put the ball in the net. Get rid 500k would be a good price any more than that then the team that buys him must be mad. Rember he has 29 goals in over 150 games I can't for the life of me undertand why people seem to think that all of a sudden he is going to start banging them in. Get rid now.

Does everyone forget that he isn't a goal scorer and is in fact a good supporting player. He got 11 assists when sharp was here

All strikers that leave us start scoring.
Magoldrick.
Think we should keep unless they bid 1m.

Let him go! a few more off the wage bill, and we can spend on another Striker!

Has anybody thought that under the other managers they just haven't got the best out of him? Physco is a man manager and I think Physco will have a lok at him and make his own decission

I tend to agree with North London Red. He is an excellent supporting player, not a goalscorer. He has good all-round ability and great work-rate.

I wouldn't be disappointed to see him go, for the right price, but I still think he could have something to offer Forest. Especially if we play him off someone like Fryatt.

Sorry, I meant to agree with Trampygyan, not North London Red.

No offence, North London Red :)

I think he would partner Fryatt really well. Could we sell him and get better? Not so sure, as someone else stated he assists very well but I agree he misses silly chances.

11.) 11 Jul 2014
In my opinion Cox is more of an attacking midfielder than an out and out striker - he works and works and battles for everything the problem is he was used poorly by BD as he was either played on his own or on the wing - He naturally wants to work for the team so drops back to help defend meaning we have no out balls. If we had him with someone such as Sharp or Fryatt I feel he would end up with tons of assists and probably a couple more goals a season too. I'd love us to keep him especially over Henderson or Blackstock.

I agree that he is a good support player, but is no better than the others. Would he be happy on bench or reserves, because he isn't really the impact sub that Mackie/Hendo would be. Keep in squad or go? I say keep him, but tell him he's nit first team starter and let him make up his own mind.

If you want someone who just runs about a lot sign Mo Farah

Simon Cox is a good lad and a tries hard but it is now time to ditch sentiment if we are serious about promotion. Matty Fryatt could be the 15-20 goal man we have been missing but we need another of the same calibre. Lars, Pato and Hendo will contribute some to the goals tally but we have enough better providers in Henri, Andy, ETC. If Fryatt gets injured we will be back in a similar position as last year, plenty of attacking midfielders. but lacking where it really matters

15.) 11 Jul 2014
I just think with fresh competition with strikers, cox might just end up coming into his own this season. Superb player, just hasn't had the luck so far. He has a job to do for us in championship, but WHEN we go up next year, we should get rid

16.) 11 Jul 2014
Nets need to be a foot wider and he would score every week. On a serious note Cox is a good player and yes he's had plenty of time but I would still keep him for another season, I think he's just damn unlucky half the time. It's about the news boys fryatt and veldwijk but Cox still has a part to play in my opinion

17.) 12 Jul 2014
As long as the manager sees him as a good addition to our squad I couldn't care less what other people think. Too many people are quick to judge a player without any depth of knowledge about the role he is to play. Brian Clough signed trouble maker Kenny Burns on a dog track and changed his position and role completely, 2 European cups later was anybody questioning that decision??
