As reported yesterday, out-of-favour striker Kevin Lisbie has joined Millwall on a season-long loan.

The frontman, who has a year left on his Town contract, is delighted to be back in London where most of his family are based: "I have got quite a big family, so I try to keep as close as possible to London and it's a perfect move for me really.

"I've missed a couple of days training because we have been sorting this out, but I'm eager to get back into it and play on Saturday against Hearts.

"Maybe if I hadn't gone to Colchester last year then I wouldn't have got this opportunity to play back in the Championship, so it has all worked out well for me."

Recently, Lisbie has been training with Town's youth team.

arc added 15:33 - Jul 28 Good news. I wish it could have been done as buying out his contract (for the amount of his wages we are presumably still paying) and him signing at Millwall (for the fraction they are paying). A clean break would be better. (Except, of course, it would have allowed Lisbie to score hattricks against us home and away.)

TheSpecialOne added 15:44 - Jul 28 What a terrible buy he was and no doubt we are still paying some of his wages too.

robdaful added 15:48 - Jul 28 good!! not sad that your going Lisbie. At first I did feel bad as I didn't think you got the chances you needed but then you opened your mouth and said the things you did. Just heard Walters could be on his way and that 2.5m is too good to refuse for a player like Walters. What do you think? I wouldn't mind seeing Peters on the right with edwards as back up. And acouple of RB's as Peters isn't a RB

StowTractorBoy added 16:00 - Jul 28 Lisbie was a complete and utter waste of money and thank heavens he has gone. I suspect Millwall will only pay part of his ludicrous salary though, which is a pity as selling him would have been a better option if only for a few quid.

BlueBoots added 16:05 - Jul 28 I believe his contract is up at the end of this season, so thankfully we'll never see him in a Town shirt again. I hope one of the clauses in the loan contract states that he has to play in both matches against us this season, 'cos he really is utter tosh!

corshamblue added 16:34 - Jul 28 So we've still got to pay his wages or a percentage, sound like a bum deal. I hope it's a no fee, 100% wage loan?? anyone know ???

Juggsy added 17:53 - Jul 28 That was 3/4 of a mil well spent wasn't it? Priskin must be at least twice as good as Lisbie at £1.7 mil ..... doh!
