Have we seen the summer's most unlikely transfer rumour on the day after the old season ended?

Oh dear
Isn’t he a bit old ( 20 ) if he’s that good?
Hopefully he becomes a regular first team player for City next year - Cardiff City that is!
He can play on either side as a full back or wing back, but he's probably more effective on the right.
Coxe is a modern day full back with the stamina and strength to get up and down his side of the pitch for ninety minutes and, as such, doesn't strike me as the sort of player our manager prefers to have in that position.
I'm a fan of Coxe and believe that he should have had more first team experience by now, but it does surprise me that no one seems to have come in to take him on loan - with it being nearly two years since his sole first team appearance, there has to be a real danger of him stagnating in his early twenties at Cardiff just like so many others have done.
I thought they were banned from signing youngsters? Or was that Chelsea?
He's definately not a Warnock type of player, as that article says he needs developing. We are more likely to sign a 33 year old journeyman on a 5-year contract.
He obviously isn't that good or Warnock would have played him
Warnock give a youngster a game? Don't be daft.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he featured next season
The WOL article about Neil staying mentions buying a new right back, why not give Coxe a chance?
There was an interesting interview with Stuart Webber, the technical director of Norwich the other day.
Amongst other things he said that he prefers young players, as where an experienced player will run around an obstacle, young guys will run through walls for you.
He went on to say that given the nature of the championship, most of the teams who go up have the same approach - unless you have a special manager like Neil Warnock, who does it with older guys.
He's an interesting character, was at Huddersfield in recruitment when they went up, and is now strongly linked with a move to Southampton.
I think it is definitely a role that we really need to push on and fill
Gringo posted links to interviews with him while he was with Huddersfield and Norwich on here a few weeks ago and they were very impressive - would love to have someone like that working for us who could "join up" things so that youth development and recruitment would be singing from the same hymn sheet so to speak, because the impression created over a decade or so at Cardiff is that the one doesn't know what the other is doing.
