Greetings all. Strong rumours up here that we're signing Andy Monkhouse tomorrow. What are your thoughts on him? Good signing or too old now?

Were you concerned about him at Wembley?

Decent player, calm on the ball. Not your standard winger in regards getting at his man, but will link play well with the full back. Will chip in with 7-10 goals for you.

As above but will also add experience and seems a good character to have round the dressing room. Slightly disappointed to see him go. Will do well for you.

If he was on the left I thought he caused Magnay some problems which didn't often happen.

Very solid and honest pro.
Don't get too excited but he won't have a bad game either.
Would have liked to have kept him on.

A good player at Conference level, most fans would have liked to see him stay another session. Our left back, England C player tweeted he was gutted to see him leave!

Very good player for Conference level. Would liked us to have kept him.
Experienced, threat in the air, technically strong, good work rate, scores goals and can grab the odd assist.

I notice some of your fellow fishy forumites describe A.M. As quite pacy and has excellent set piece delivery.Not much pace about him,and he wasn't our set piece taker,that may have been something that he was noted for at Hartlepool though in all fairness.One of those players that generally doesn't stand out but you only realise his real value to your team after he's gone.I also would have liked us to retain him for next season and believe he would be a good signing for you.

He will not improve your team. You are a good side already and probably need a striker before another old midfielder.

Unsung hero of our promotion gaschat.co.uk/thread/3838/unsung-heroes-promotion-2Just don't expect an Arnold style-winner, and get a good left sided left back to play to his strengths.

Not sure he's as good as some are making out, but not as bad as others will say either. Will do a job provided you have a decent left-back and a fast, direct right winger. He'll grab a few goals and is a good character in the dressing room, but he won't win you games.

Playing 2 nippy little wingers is actually quite rare. 17 points received [out of 21] in games when he scored. Not a bad return. 2 goals were the only Rovers goal of the match, and 3 were the first Rovers goal of the match.

He won us games, also a goal every 4 games is a great contribution from the wing in his 40 games for us. Good signing and sad he's gone.

One of the best players in a promotion team last season, would definitely be one of your best players and biggest signings, would be a massive capture for you, be very happy

One thing not mentioned is that, unusually for a winger, he is good in the air. The majority of his goals for Rovers came from him meeting a cross at the near post.
Great pro and sorry to see him go.
