david in sweden Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Anyone heard this? http://www.northstandchat.biz/showthread.php?t=156561 Don't know much about him bu the words 'passion' and 'commitment' both stood out to me! Given the managements background (Manager and Coach) I think we might guess that anyone who has previously played for Charlton, West Ham, Reading ...or Brighton might be on the shopping list !
kpturner Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Mixed thoughts from them about him. Too short for a CB
Saint_clark Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 What's this? A player in a position that actually needs strengthening? I need to sit down.

krissyboy31 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 As I said yesterday, we DO want an attacking wide/winger, who can create and score goals. However, we do NOT need another midget to add to our already vertically challenged team.

However, we do NOT need another midget to add to our already vertically challenged team. So we need someone who's 6'5 and can run like Usain Bolt? Good luck with that. Get some new CBs in with height and that will do fine, but if the winger you need is short then don't refuse to buy him.
Gravesend Saint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Too short for a CB Then it's a good job he isn't one.

Well forgive me if I think we've actually got plenty of that sort of player already.
SNSUN Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Tiny Cox. Lol'd at that. I can see the Northam singing "We've got Tiny Cox"!
Armitage Shanks Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 There might be some legs in this story as I see that Brighton have just signed a winger from Wolves
eurosaint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Having read that Brighton site thread, for some reason I have a vision of Ryan Smith in my head ! Please tell me I'm wrong and not to worry............
saint-ross Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Having read that Brighton site thread, for some reason I have a vision of Ryan Smith in my head ! Please tell me I'm wrong and not to worry............ Thats exactly what i was thinking. There seems to be mixed reaction from the brighton fans. Not really sure what to make of it all.
badgerx16 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 According to Wiki, Terry Paine was 5 foot 7 and John Sydenham 5 foot 6; Cox is down as 5 foot 4, but what does 2 inches matter ?
krissyboy31 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 According to Wiki, Terry Paine was 5 foot 7 and John Sydenham 5 foot 6; Cox is down as 5 foot 4, but what does 2 inches matter ? I think the game's moved on since then. The average size of a pro-footballer was under around 5' 10 foot in the sixties, now it's more like 6' 2.
Rem Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 According to Wiki, Terry Paine was 5 foot 7 and John Sydenham 5 foot 6; Cox is down as 5 foot 4, but what does 2 inches matter ? When you're talking about Cox 2 inches matters a lot!
VectisSaint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 No, no, no. We don't need any Slade favs. I really dislike Noddy Holder and I'm not sure about his scouting credentials.
Asaint4ever Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Move to Saints? Lost 2 drew 1? Still minus 9 points? Mmmm cheeky gets! im sure he would still raher play for us if we was -30! brighton pffft
Scudamore Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 According to Wiki, Terry Paine was 5 foot 7 and John Sydenham 5 foot 6; Cox is down as 5 foot 4, but what does 2 inches matter ? Got a photo of my old man stood with Terry Paine...now either my dad is about three inches shorter than i realised, Terry was standing on a Yellow Pages or (dare i say it?) Wikipedia is talking wrong...
St.Patrik Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 I smell a double signing here - COX and Trotman to be unveiled later today ; ) (im only guesing here - Im not ITK)

Matthew Le God Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Can Brighton not afford a kit in his size?
saints-cris Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 I've seen him around Brighton, not the tallest of lads.. hope he's an actual winger, not another drifter like lallana.
kpturner Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Can Brighton not afford a kit in his size?LOL - always a giveaway when the shorts meet the top of the socks
krissyboy31 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Can Brighton not afford a kit in his size? The don't make them that small!!
Chez Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 How abotu Arron Davies from Forest. Was a top performer in league 1 for Yeovil, tore Forest apart a couple of seasons ago so they bought him and he has failed to deliver for them. Might be worth a look. Not getting into their league side.
RonManager Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 It seems that if their name is Dean, then we're in for them! It'll end up like the Monty Python 'Bruce' sketch.
St.Patrik Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Cox_(footballer) Born in Cuckfield - well translate that to Swedish and its rather funny : ) Fields of "man peeing thing"
CLOTH EARS Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 From what the Brighton fans are saying about him, its fair to say that i'm not that excited about the prospect of him signing for us.
Le Timmier Posted 20 August, 2009 Author Posted 20 August, 2009 Just had an email from my Albion mate. Hardly a glowing reference... "He is so frustrating. And small. Barely gets the ball over the first defender when taking corners, free kicks etc... Infact, the only thing I would miss about him is the tiny Cox song!"
SaintRichmond Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 According to Wiki, Terry Paine was 5 foot 7 and John Sydenham 5 foot 6; Cox is down as 5 foot 4, but what does 2 inches matter ? Hang on a minute .... I'll ask my missus ........

Slight change in plan then ...DON'T LET HIM TAKE CORNERS OR FREE KICKS Simples ...........
Scummer Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Slight change in plan then ...DON'T LET HIM TAKE CORNERS OR FREE KICKS Simples ........... Exactly what I thought.
Crispypie Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Can Brighton not afford a kit in his size? Actualy they are track suit trousers,he is really 18' tall!
greg_hill Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 OK so the first team is still having massive problems but of the four signings so far by AP, two have been solid, one has been OK and the other is struggling but has not really had a proper run yet. If there is anything in this Cox rumour, then I trust AP and co. to do their research and get the right players in. So if we sign him, I'm happy.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 So we need someone who's 6'5 and can run like Usain Bolt? Good luck with that. Get some new CBs in with height and that will do fine, but if the winger you need is short then don't refuse to buy him. Well Swindon had a well over six foot right back with pace playing for them the other night. So if Danny Wilson can manage to find one, Pardew should be able to do the same.
JibMcdo Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 "Brighton have signed Wolves winger Elliott Bennett on a three-year deal. The 20-year-old, who plays on the right, arrives at Withdean for an undisclosed fee and is expected to go straight into the starting XI." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/8211795.stm Perhaps this one has legs...

This may have legs.....and by the look of it very short ones!
Bad Wolf Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Isn't Keith Gillespie free? Old, but I bet he'd be more useful right wing than our options. I saw he'd signed for some Irish team the other day. Cork City I think
eelpie Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 According to Wiki, Terry Paine was 5 foot 7 and John Sydenham 5 foot 6; Cox is down as 5 foot 4, but what does 2 inches matter ? It does when we have a lightweight squad already, and terrified by mighty Swindon
david in sweden Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Lets get Tom Jenkins back:D ....still prefer to see John Sydenham in full flight, though !
david in sweden Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 According to Wiki, Terry Paine was 5 foot 7 and John Sydenham 5 foot 6; Cox is down as 5 foot 4, but what does 2 inches matter ? of course size doesn't matter..... ....it's what you can do with the ball(s) ! If he's got pace.. and can put over a good centre - SIGN HIM !
david in sweden Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Got a photo of my old man stood with Terry Paine...now either my dad is about three inches shorter than i realised, Terry was standing on a Yellow Pages or (dare i say it?) Wikipedia is talking wrong... In that Number... lists Terry's height at 5' 7" ...maybe your Dad was kneeling down at the time. ?
david in sweden Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Can Brighton not afford a kit in his size? Mmm....his feet look large for a short man ..?
Crowds Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 People seem to forget how big shaun. Wright Phillips and Ashley young are....
