Blues end Clapham interest!

[Smiffy]

Weird decision? Or does Tilly have a signing up his sleeve this week?...

 

[MK Shrimper]

Or perhaps Clapham's wage demands were a stumbling block?

That'd be the one...

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

That'd be the one...

It had better be the one or I'd (and I think most others that saw him on Thursday) be quite ****ed off :thumbdown:

He's at a junction in his career and it would be quite common to trial for a number of clubs for a few days to see whether the face fits etc.

Shame that, thought he would have slotted in nicely. Which means we need another signing badly

 

[OldBlueLady]

Must mean Chrissy's on his way here surely?

Bad Clapham puns ha ha

I suspected that wages would be an issue when we took him on. It'll be interesting to see who else Tilly has up his sleeve.

Maybe time for a few 'Chrissie Powell' chants at Chelmsford tonight!

I'm sure what Tilly is after is a full-back with height (to compensate for the relative shorties at the back) but who is also a real threat going forward and perhaps from set pieces - hmmmmm - how about that Scottish lad, Mulgrew? Oh no, we couldn't afford him could we cough cough

Apart from the fact he didn't fancy a move here and preferred to move back to his native country, of course...

 

[adam3811]

damn!

well, that's not what I wanted to hear..

 

[Neil_F]

I'd have thought there would have been some brief conversations about personal terms prior to the trial, otherwise why bother if there is no realistic prospect of reaching an agreement?

 

[Gremlin]

I suspect the headline should probably have read Clapham ends Blues interest and that he's got himself something else.

Anthony Grant evidently played Left Back at Wycombe when he was on loan there.

 

[ldnfatso]

Can only think it is a wages thing. He looked more than capable at Billericay. Shame but hopefully Tilly has a backup plan.

Hope I am wrong but I doubt it

I think Ulysses that Tilly may be planning the season on a similar but slightly reversed version of your "Dream Team" set up

Ultimate Team - Sammy, Powell, Tilly, Barrett, Prior, Maher, McDonough, Gower, Collymore, Freddy, Dave Crown Subs - Flavs, Edinburgh, Anash, Angell, Goat

Whereas Tilly's team this season is lining up with no left sided players your's has no right side at all. I make it lining up GK, 2 x CB, 1 x LB, 1 x CM, 2 x LM & 4 x CF, and proper CFs at that, none of this namby pamby "strikers who can play wide".

Respect, you must be Tilly's new footballing TicTac guru! ;)

Well if it is us who have decided against signing him we could at least have had another look tonight.
