Leicester are preparing a £2m swoop for Swindon's star striker Simon Cox. (Daily Mirror)

Has netted 39 goals in 76 games over the past 2 seasons, which is an excellent record in an average side. Not sure he is worth £2m though, I would have thought £1m - £1.25m would be a more realistic valuation.

But is he the sort that would help an old lady across the road?

Hughes has to be the better bet, granted he is hard work and not someone i would really want playing for us because of what he has done. Cox is unproven and might not adapt to a higher level.

Cox is proven, he has performed remarkably well in a side struggling in the bottom half of league one. Hughes will be a cheaper and older alternative. In line with Pearson's execellent record on signing younger players, I would be far happier for us to sign a player of Cox's ability and potential than sign a player who's better days are clearly behind him.

Cox would be a brilliant signing in my opinion. When we played them at home i was very impressed with his work rate and he always looked a threat. You only have to look at the amount of goals he has scored this season and the quality of some of the strikes. I'm pretty sure we won't be the only club after him.

I've seen some pretty shite players down here this year but Cox was by far the best player i have seen. He gave Hobbs and Morrison the runaround.
I'd be thrilled if this was too happen. He's just the kind of player we need and i think he'll fit in nicely in the championship.

I know you can't judge a player on one or two games - a lot of people wrongly wrote off Lambert on this basis - but Cox was brilliant at the Walkers.

Mandaric sued the Mirror because of something libellous.
A transfer rumour in a newspaper like this isn't libellous so there is no basis to sue.
Re-think your logic again!
