Sam tillen Chelsea left back

Ive just read on a football website that ma has signed Sam Tillen who is a 20 year old and apparently played for England at all different age groups but cant get into chelsea's team funnily enough. I read its a one year deal with an option for 2 years.

Have you not looked at the official site recently?

 

[JANORAK]

Neil Clement?

I agree he was a fish out of water with us, but seems to have improved no end with WBA. I wasn't really thinking of short-term loanees, only mentioned Kitkat as he was most recent & we had to endure his performances(?) for the best part of a season. If you include loanees, I would immediately add Steve Sherwood to the list....

Younghusband what a surname

 

[homerbees]

Michael Mancienne and James Simmonds both local lads who went to school in Hounslow just like Graham Stack, ive been trying to throw a few good words about the bees for the future!

 

[NewburyRoyal]

ive played with sam at my cousins 18th birthday(he has since been rleased by the blues) and sam was very impressive even though he had been drinking!

I am afraid to say this but this is pure fabrication!

[NewburyRoyal]

'fraid so

 

[SmiffyBee]

so what was made up ?

the drinking, the playing or was it a 17th Birthday ?

 

[coconino]

Younghusband what a surname

At 75p a letter that's £9 per shirt. With finances as they are we should be signing players with long names like that.

All of it!

 

[Boston Bee]

Jak has never played even a kick-about with Sam
His cousin never had an 18th birthday
His cousin has not since been released by Chelsea
Sam was impressive

Don't get how if the party never happened you know he wasn't there. :suspect:

We can be quite persnickanny about bold statements.

Sam doesn't drink, he has never been to anyone at Chelsea's birthday party and his understudy would never had turned down Fulham! I know these things!

 

[Jakalo]

I know these things!

Obviously not

Unless that is he has an identical same aged brother or I was on the drink at the party instead

Maybe he wasnt invited...but in that case that lookalike is quality and we should sign him up!

 

[JTofBFC]

Does anyone really care if Sam once went to a birthday party and kicked a ball while he was there (and maybe even shock horror had a bottle of bud).

 

[Jakalo]

my original point was he was very impressive as we will all see very soon

 

[ParaParaBee]

who cares :suspect: :suspect:

Let's hope he has put the injuries behind him and has a bit more pace and guile than AF.

 

[NewburyRoyal]

Couldn't agree more, has masive potential. He has pace and stamina (he used to win county cross country for our school) so will last the full 90 no problem. He has strength, he may look fairly small but does have good strength (which is apt for a full back!). He also has a fair few tricks up his sleeve. If i had to compare him to a Prem full back, then it would probably be Ashley Cole, just on the way he plays the game. As well as all this attributes, he can switch play superbly and can do 50 yard passes with ease and accuracy. Very good aquisition, unlucky at Chelsea due to the Roman invasion, but will easily become a good player at Championship level. He is also very professional (he stopped playing for our school when he signed for Chelsea from Swindon just so he could concentrate on his Training).

Just you wait, he will be to you what Nicky Shorey did for Reading... become a very consistent performer throughout the season. Good luck to him and good luck to you!

So what's his brother like?

 

[NewburyRoyal]

So waht's his brother like?

His brother is a striker so I can't really compare them. they are both very quick and have a wicked left foot on them But then i haven't really played with joe (he is 2 school years younger)

 

[BillyBee]

joes a left winger/midfielder not an out and out striker

 

[NewburyRoyal]

joes a left winger/midfielder not an out and out striker

I dont know! like i said, i don't know him very well, but i knew he used to be a striker, they probably thought he would do better on the wing

 

[BillyBee]

hes never been a striker, he used to be a left back, but has spent the last few years playing left winger, and left midfield

 

[readingbee]

Looking on the official site MA says he has agreed terms, but he has not got a squad number yet, DJ signed after him and has got a squad number. Does anyone know has he been signed or did he fail the medical . Nothing on the Official site one way or the other.

 

[bees66]

Guessing here!! maybe he is not a Brentford player till the 1st July when his contract runs out?

 

[Ronan]

Would make most sense, sign them early in the pre-season, and you pay for what is ultimately undeeded wages, whereas if you get them at the end or near end, you save on money.

But then surely you run the risk of not getting the players you want, it's all a case of risk limitation, and if MA thought Tillen would be snapped up by another club, then it is better to get him signed as soon as possible.

Its normal practice to sign pre-contract agreements, then sign full contract at time your existing contract expires. It's exactly the same as what happened to various players last season.

 

[rg12bee]

have also seen tillen at the rec. would be excellent acquisition, also.......come on the shots next season, that support and passion should not be non-league

 

[Les Beeavinu]

come on the shots next season, that support and passion should not be non-league

When they were in the League, support and passion was in pretty short supply. The standard chant was "You're so loud you sound like Aldershot."

 

[BeeSinceBirth]

whats the general concensus...should he go straight into the first team over Frampton? and more importantly will he?

 

[Jimbee]

Well as it appears to be fact already that Skulason is better that Talbot, it goes without saying that Tillen is better than Framps and should be made captain with immediate effect.

 

[Simon C]

Do we have to say now or can we wait 'til we see him play?

i guess we can wait

I think the point is a fair one, I hope this guy has not been brought in as cover, but really to challenge for the left back position.
No question that Framps is the man in possession after a really solid year, but if this guy can prove during pre-season that he can defend, pass tje ball intelligently & also get forward to get quality crosses in, then it's up for grabs.

A lot of goals we were leaking last year came from play down the right which wasn't cut out, I know Framps has done well but not well enough in this position. Martin said he knew where the team was weak and the first signing was Tillen. Seen him play when you do you will appreciate how much a better player in this position he is and I am amazed we got him
