Tilson eyeing up Guttridge

[Pato the Blue]

It says that Tilson is intrested in Signing him.

- It says his out of favour at Cambridge.
- 22 years old
- made 159 appearances since signing from torquay in December 2000 scoring 20 goals.

Charlton put in a £300,000 and was rejected earlier on in the season, but since fallen out of favour, ( costwill be lower now)

" All I will say is that Luke is someone I have enquired about" admitted Tilson

Could be a very good edition to the squad in my opinion. What do you guys think?

 

[BoyWonder2]

Never been impressed by him when I've seen him play and was very surprised when Charlton put in a bid. Only thing I can remember about him was his set piece delivery was dire.

 

[Pato the Blue]

It also says that Northampton and Cardiff are interested.

If Charlton are looking at him, he must be at a good standard surely.

If he cant even get in the starting eleven of the worst pro side in England, he cant be that good can he?..

We don't know the full story though do we.

Wasn't he the player who was fighting with team-mate Danny Webb during one match ?

Cambrigde won't play an player if he is unhappy at the club - that why he not in the 1st team. Tilson, don't just stand there ..... GO and get him!

Im with you on that one

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

But why is he unhappy?

If he is a disruptive influence (I have no idea) I don't want him at Roots Hall. I hope Tilly does his homework throroughly before signing any player.

Maybe Tes is just going there on a scouting mission!

Possibly something to do with playing with sh*te like Danny Webb

That isn't the only reason is it, there could be an endless list of things that could have landed him in hot water with the management and out of favour.

Indeed. Sign him up!

IMO, he'd be a very useful signing.

 

[Monkey]

Says in the Echo, he has been hit by a back injury and virus this season..... that might explain why he hasn't played much.

Well the story has now appeared on the BBC. According to them we're in talks with him:

Guttridge

They've got God, so the least they could do is give us their best midfielder.

A Cambridge local news site has also started carrying the story with some different details:

Guttridge race

 

[blues_r_best]

Quality, I rate him very highly, would be a very good buy in my opinion.

 

[BoyWonder2]

Where is he going to fit in the midfield?

His a central midfielder but we also have Alan McCourmack, Mark Bentley, Kev Maher, Jay Smith. I assume that Guttridge will replace Maher for the two game suspension along side Beno but what when Kev is back, along with when Jay is back?

 

[Beefy]

You can never have too many good players. Tilly & Brush wouldn't be trying to bring him in if they didn't have plans for him.

 

[OlvisIII]

Was excellent last year but, as someone has said, has been dogged with injury and illness. Don't think Renard handled him very well, whereas Tilly has the knack of players performing under him. He can play right midfield as well.

And that is, I think, the intention...

Good thinking. It might help ease the pain.
