Announced
-
Get in!!!!!
Thats the one I've been waiting for. More important than Haks for me.
-
Wow. 3yr deal.
Oitstanding
-
Wow didn't expect that! Exciting season ahead :rtid:
-

-
Just Biggins and Haks now eh
-
That’s great… very decent player and wants to stay, clearly had some decisions to make and clearly been offered a good deal.
Marvellous!!
-
Wouldn’t surprise me if chesterfield go after Biggins
-
That's the most important of the three signed. Good stuff.
-
Signed in the Sal too!
-
That's great news. I thought it was 70/30 he was likely to be snapped up elsewhere and wouldn't have been surprised to see him rack up at Mansfield for example.
This gives us further confidence McCann can keep the better players which of course means we can really look forward to that continuity and hopefully upward trend. Also spend less time looking for replacements.
I guess 3 years was a very important negotiating point for Luke
-
Happy to put a tenner behind the bar for Haks!
Get yourself down there young man!
-
Great news, looking like another exciting season.
-
Yyyyaàaaàsaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhoooo
-
I'm a pessimist by nature, but if we can bring another top quality keeper in, you'd have to be the biggest pessimist in the world to not fancy us for the autos this season.
-
This was our #1 priority without a doubt. Great work rate, skillfully and understands the supporters.
Thrilled he's signed a 3 year deal
-
Brilliant!!
-
Great deal that is. He's been really good this year and his work rate is excellent so you'd always want him in the squad and hopefully keeps improving.
-
We mean business this season!
Jon Taylor’s 3 year deal has made me so nervous about any long term contract but I’m been too pessimistic there.
-
Haks and Biggo not signing
-
Great news. We’ll done everyone.
-
Really good news! I cannot see Haks signing now, it would be nice, but neither Mollly or Gibson are bench warmers, and neither is Haks.
Going to be an exciting season this one, I can’t wait to see it all coming together.
-
Haks and Biggo not signing
How do you know this?
-
This is great news.
-
Haks and Biggo not signing
How do you know this?
McCann has confirmed it.

Watch the interview with McCann about moly resigning as he gets asked about them
-
Biggins no great loss.
-
Molyneux has to improve his consistency. Talented player, but first half of the season was all over the place.

Totally correct, however Grant said due to injuries he wasn’t played as he should be, so let’s see if he plays like a wizard from game 1 next season….
-
It’s good to hear Mols say how important the fans were in him making his decision to stay .
-
Sounds like Grant knew about both a while ago, Sbarra can play in that role was his words, and we have Gibson who plays in Haks role.
Shame about both, they really came on good for us at the end of the season, but not fully shocked in Haks, he should be playing in a higher league, he will do no good if restrained by tactics- Grant gave him a free pass to do what he wanted really. I think he would have been one of the leagues highest paid had he come to us, so possibly him deciding to decline the offer helps us with what else we need.
Biggins, I never saw anything from apart from the odd worldie, then he really kicked on at the back end of the season. Was it the typical end of contract uplift, or was it just a better and settled team?
Good luck and thanks to both.
Now let’s find that Matty Craig
-
Fantastic news and, of the three, think he’s the most important but, more important than what I think, it sounds like GM thinks that as well.
I'd have loved to have kept Haks as well but he didn’t look the same player towards the end of the season as he was previously so not totally gutted. Looking forward to next season!! :woohoo:
-
Signed,announcement soon,you heard it here first
Heard it from Peter O’Rourke last week first ;)
Great news, for me he was more important to tie down than Haks or Biggins. It’s starting to come together…
-
Enjoyed both GMs and Lukes interviews. Luke talking about enjoying his time here and he wanted to stay as long as possible, talking of moving here now deal is done amd wanting to stay past 3yrs. All good news. He is a great player and let's not forget he doesn't miss to many games which is another key attribute for us. Fantastic signing and as GM said possible the best in this division in his position.

I think we could say everyone was all over the place at the start of the season, when it got down to a settled side with a settled formation and most importantly Mols playing in his favoured role we saw the best of him.
Looks to me with the signings we have made so far that TB has already tipped GM the nod to go and get his players, With players like Mols, Sbarra and Gibson, GM knows exactly what he wants from his offensive line.
Lets hope we can now get that elusive midfield box to box terrier to hold it all together for us, couple this with a new keeper and it looks like we're dealing with quality rather than quantity.
Next season already looks attractive, well done All.
-
If Haks isn’t signing we effectively have a replacement in Gibson, but I really hope that we get someone to provide the energy and pressing that Biggins brought at the back end of the season, as well as the ability to get in the box.
-
According to Grant, we’re close to signing another midfield player, who will be “Tommy Rowe’s replacement”.
-
Let's also not forget, McCann keeps bigging up Broadbent so he's got some expectations on his shoulders now.
-
That’s marvellous news. I was assuming he’d be off to pastures new. Luke’s really improved and become an exciting talent. We want to see that continue as we climb the divisions once more. He’s the new Copps.
-

Lakin perhaps?
-
Yes, Mols was so much better when he started taking up more central positions, adding more variety to his portfolio.
The goals he scored away at Morecambe, Crewe and earlier at Grimsby were examples of him doing just that. Earlier in the season he was more reliant on the cut inside and shoot moves, which could be more easily anticipated by defenders.
If he, Gibson, Sbarra, Hurst etc, can get beyond the front man in those more central areas, it's difficult to defend against.

I’m amazed how he seems to be so loved despite been very average and since leaving been very average. Showed a bit of effort in a team of dossers. Need more than that now to be in our thinking imo

Got a feeling it could be the lad from Barrow, GM sang his praises very highly.
Robbie Gotts, just remembered his name.

That would be some signing. Said he’d tried to sign him for Hull.

Don’t forget as well he played at left back for a chunk of last season to help the team out.
-
Think we really started seeing the best of Molyneux when Adelakun gave him the freedom to drift infield and swap flanks. With 2 players coming in who can also play across a front 3, hopefully he'll have that freedom again next season - they all will. Should make for exciting viewing.

I mean I don't love him, he's just a left footed box to box player who is a free agent. Won Sutton's Player of the Season despite only joining in January.

People do keep mentioning him though, which is surprising since he was crap.
-
Got to say, Molyneux staying and us not giving the other 2 big money contracts is an optimal outcome.
-
Brilliant news on Molly signing. Think he was the one I wanted and most of us wanted to re sign the most.
Will be a massive player for us next season. Grant will turn him into the best wide attacking player in league 2 next season.
I would have a wager he will score 12 league goals next season and will have at least that amount of assists also.
Most important position now is getting a top quality Goal Keeper.
If we get that sorted then I think we have a top 3 team next season.
Not sure who replaces Mathew Craig in the team. That’s the only other doubt I have about the jigsaw not being 100% complete at present.
Neither Close or Westbrooke are of the same ilk. Both ball players rather than ball winners. Broadbent I am just not convinced about at all. GM obviously sees something in him.
Craig was fantastic at winning the ball back & we are going to miss that and there is going to be a massive job & reliance on Owen Bailey in that Dept next season unless we get someone else signed who can do that job.

Robbie Gotts, just remembered his name.
Local-ish lad, GM spoke well of the lad, has played CM and right back so versatile in 2 positions we need additional cover.
Interesting call, well done
-
Think he only recently signed a new contract to 2025
-
This is great news, well done Moly and well done to the Club.
This shows real intent by the club and real ambition from Moly to cement his place at the Rovers and ‘become a legend’.
I’m really chuffed that we’ll be seeing Moly in a Rovers shirt again next season.
-
Absolutely buzzing with this news. He was the one player, of the three, that I really hoped would stay.
If Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland left 'The Police' they could have always found another bass player and a drummer. Sting was integral. I'm confident Biggo and Haks, while missed, can be replaced but Molyneux is the band. (Apologies to anyone under 35 for this
contemporary pop music analogy).
As others have alluded to, he gets it here and his relationship with the supporters was a key part of his decision making process. Something worth considering before launching a virtual, or vocal attack on a player for not performing. Your support is valued and it matters.
Anyway. Great news
-

Oooh. Got to disagree there. The three members of The Police were what made them the band they were. Sting has had numerous drummers and Dominic Miller on guitar for decades but it’s not the same as the energy with Copeland and Summers, imho…
-
Really, really pleased. I think he will become a better player under Grant, as we saw once he shook off his injury & Grant gave him free rein on either wing.
A better finisher than Jon Taylor was & his tracking back is a real asset for a ‘real team player’.
Haks was ‘our luxury’ player since January & I wish him well wherever he ends up & hope he gets as much support from fans, game time & freedom on the pitch as he did here. Only time will tell whether his brief time with us ends up being the happiest of his career when he looks back.
Biggins is replaceable in my opinion. If Grant says we have a ‘Tommy Rowe replacement’ on the radar that will do for me.
Great business so far & we’re still in May!

Not going to argue with you there PDX, infact I'll agree with you on the sound and energy. I was too far into the analogy to back out...

No,you heard he had agreed to sign,not that he had signed :cool:

Anyone done a little sex wee?

Brilliant signing. Most important for me will be a like for like for Matty Craig

All of the above from me too.

youve got to think that spurs would be more than happy for us to look after their next midfield general from the youth team?
