Charlton Linked With Town Pair
Charlton Linked With Town Pair
Monday, 26th Jul 2010 14:02

League One Charlton have been linked with Blues pair Kevin Lisbie and Lee Martin. Lisbie, who spent the whole of last season on loan at Colchester, was previously with the Addicks between 1995 and 2007 and is believed to be a permanent target of his old club, while the Londoners want the former Manchester United man on loan.

Both players were amongst the eight recently made available for transfer by the Blues, but Lisbie looks the more likely of the two to join the Addicks, who last week announced a number of redundancies.

Town would probably allow Lisbie to move on for either a free transfer or for a nominal fee, while Martin’s wages, which are understood to be in the region of £12,000-a-week, would certainly be beyond a League One side. The Blues may be willing to allow Martin to go out on loan, but only if the other club were paying a significant proportion of his wages.

Meanwhile, Newcastle City Council have announced plans to build a memorial garden in tribute to Sir Bobby Robson.

This would be sweet revenge for Charlton taking all our best players a while back . . .

Good news about Lisbie and would be able to get his wages off the bill.
And I think Lee Martin should be kept as back up for Civelli.

I think Martin will come good, so maybe a loan spell would be a good move for him and the club. He'll be playing against a better standard of opposition in League 1 than he would be in the reserves.

Martin is still young and i think we should give him another season.Lisbie on the other hand, i'd let him go on a free to get shot of the waster, get him off the wage bill. League 1 is his level.

I seriously reckon that Lee Martin must be one if not THE worst player we've ever paid so much money for.... Somewhere near 2M to buy & 12k a week makes Finidi George look like a fabulous buy back then... 12k a week....! JOKE.

Lee Martin - can't shooot, can't pass, can't cross, can't tackle, can't dribble. What a waste of money. I wish someone would pay me 12k a week not to be able to do any of the above.

Do we have to give them some money to clinch the deal?

Getting rid of Lisbie would be a real bonus. Martin MAY come good - who knows - was okay at PSV last week.

Lisbie... Goodbye! Martin... I still think he can turn it around as he DOES have the ability, he just needs to apply it with the right frame of mind.

Lisbie is the one player I'd happily spend my hard earned wages on petrol, and personally drive him to The Valley! I hate to think how much we've wasted on wages on him in th last year or so. Were Col u paying his full wages last season? I doubt it!
As for Lee Martin- He was a mega disappointment last season, came with full of promise etc etc, and I've probably seen him play one good game in that time so far, and that was the pre-season against Real Sociedad or whoever it was we played from Spain last season.
For we paid for him and what he pay in wages, I'd truly love to see him come good this season. But I'm not holding out much hope.

It's not RK's fault - he actually wanted Dean Martin.
