According to DFP we are in advance talks to get Hakeeb back. I’m conflicted on this, the lads got talent but us a bit of a show pony. He rejected us previously but the question is; does he have the battling qualities needed to get us out of our current position? My answer is probably not but Grant is an admirer and he’s the manager.

Show pony 

[mpc123]

He will have a desire to prove and certainly got some talent. If Mccann is the only one to get the best out of him, we will soon see. I very much welcome it....... if Mccann thinks its right, he knows best.

[Cramby10]

He’s a clear improvement on what we have so on that score I’d piggy back him to the club myself if it means getting us out of the sh**e.

[mpc123]

I expected Marsh from Sheff Utd to be one if available. I heard from a Sheff Utd fan he was playing well and they were surprised Donny had not been back, now he is fit.

[mushRTID]

Whatever we think of Haks it’s a clear significant upgrade on Ajayi and in my opinion Gibson.

If we also sign a decent L1 standard striker, I can see all 4 wingers improving significantly.

Think Oné from them would be more likely.

McCann isn’t the only one!

He scored at a better rate than Molyneux last season at Salford under Karl Robinson.

Even better, I didn't know that

Cotterill has spoken very highly of his contribution to Cheltenham. So this is a player who is fit and ready, knows how we play and played at this level before.

It feels like it’s the best type of signing we can hope for.

Has he not shown "battling qualities" by scoring 3 goals in his last 5 appearances to help Cheltenham move away from the drop zone in League Two?

[roversdude]

Did he not show battling qualities when we were near the bottom of L2 ?

[DRFCSouth]

Let's take emotions out of the equation, and on that basis I would take him. We need his experience.

At least you’d expect Rovers to be able to better whatever Cheltenham might offer him. He certainly did quite well at Salford even though he was not a regular starter at the outset. As well as his general footballing qualities he has a very good shot on him which is not a common attribute amongst our present players. 
 

[sedwardsdrfc]

In this window and in our position it’s a much better signing than a loanee kid. We know what he can do and he’s hit a level of consistency in his numbers albeit in L2.

[Alan Southstand]

I like the idea but we need that out and out No9.

Definately a rung up the ladder from Gibson, though!

[jmt23]

If true it’s a calculated risk. He knows the club and area, we also know what he can be capable of, and most of the team know what he needs to thrive.
It would be great to see him play for us again, a real flair player who can do the unusual, and may just unlock some potential in others, as he did the first time around.

Doesn’t need to be instead of a number 9

[GazLaz]

He will play on the left and through the centre at times.

[Usher wide.]

He will play in the ‘No10’ role with the freedom to go right or left at times thus interchanging with our wide men to give us greater adaptability up front.

In my humble opinion.

[TonySoprano]

This is a classic Mcann signing.
Signing a player in a position that we have alot of decent options for already.

[Balby Rover]

Definetly a good signing he agent his brother badly advised him last time around  he will add height physicalty and pace. We should of signed him at the start of the season. No doubt whatsoever he will do a job for us one that basis a good signing.

maybe… assuming nobody is leaving…. As Usher says he could be effective in the 10 role. Give us another dynamic

[BobG]

Isn't he under contract?

Wow, it keeps coming. Just when you think you have heard it all.

[Move DRFC]

Middleton - 1 league goal
Gibson - 3 league goals
Ajayi - 0

We need goals from our attackers! Haks will provide. It's a good signing.

[steve@dcfd]

If he signs he's the right age the right size he can play left right and off a main striker.  He can score goals he's proved that with us Salford and Cheltenham. Yes all in league2 but I believe he can step up to league 1. We don't spend money to buy players he has experience not a U21 player. There might not be an agreement but I hope there will be.

[Filo]

He’s not Cup Tied either

he is played for Cheltenham in round two I believe against Burton
