What the Oggster said. His strength was opening up defences and creating openings, not finishing them. That's why he always needed to play alongside a goalscorer but was never afforded the opportunity despite his many years at the club. I cannot understand why he is always persecuted for being so unlucky with injuries, as if picking up injuries was his fault! Following the Liverpool hat trick he didn't play again for another six months. Should we have him back? I think it would depend on whether he has managed to retain his biggest asset, his speed.
we dont want the Valley to become like an elephant's graveyard where all the old sweats come for a last bit of good pay and then to quietly fade away. if a player comes cheap and on low wages there is usually a reason. That reason?.. he is no good
See I am not looking at it like that, I saw it more as bring him in for a year see if he can do a job if not **** him off, simple.
If you're talking a years wages well I'd rather take a gamble on Lisbie then another Eccleston turn out.
Agreed. I'd keep Reid and/or Benson if possible. I saw Ecclescake on loan at Hudd the previous season, bull in a china shop, could start a fight in an empty phone box. I could not belive that Powell signed him even short term
Had bags of potential, won't ever deliver when the pressure is on. Should go back to Colchester if he can, where he could wind down his career and get a good reputation. If he get's them promoted it'd be a great end to a career that promised a lot, when he wasn't playing in the first team.
Lisbie and Sam: two big talents but too laid back for their own good. Anymore relaxed they'd be comatose. Leaburn was a bit like that as well. What we need is a Sam/Lisbie skill merchant with the tuffidity of Richard Rufus, a player who made full use of every ounce of talent he possessed (yes I know RR is a defender but you take my point)

oooooooooooooooooooso Super Kev scored a wonder goal and we should all stop being anti kev ? Johny Ostergard scored a wonder goal as well maybe we should have payed that pratt to stay for ten years 7 of which he ansat on his arse trousering our dosh------you know like Super Kev did.
CAFC owe Lisbie nothing -- even if he played for the next three seasons for zilch it wouldnt be enough. ( thats FC Zilch of somewhere far away --- go there Kev con them far a few years)
Lisbie was scoring important goals in the Championship and League 1 the season before. As we are in League 1 and not the Premiership it would seem to me to be a good bit of business to take him on.
Forgetting about how well he did or didn't do for us previously,for this level he'd still do a decent job. Don't think that will be with us though as he doesn't fit in to what we're looking for.
As has been said before, we've moved on (but then again Euell is back). Best of luck to him though and a worthwhile gamble for the Os in their position
Seriously, can you imagine the outrage on here and at the valley if we re-signed Euell and Lisbie???? It's already been stated by some that the signing of Euell was an old mates act.

My youngest's first game was Chelsea away when Super Kev scored the headed winner in the last minute.
Had to buy him the Lisbie shirt after that and he was addickted for life thanks to Mr K Lisbie.
Does he still live in Herne Bay?

Spanners believe he is too injury prone

Only if draw a series of circles within circles on him.
