Lisbie Expects To Sign

Colchester United striker Kevin Lisbie expects to sign for Town in the next couple of days after having a medical at Town and its just final terms that need ironing out.

Lisbie: "It's not all sorted yet, but I've had a medical and I believe that I've played my last game for Colchester.

"It's just up to my representative to finalise the terms. It's not confirmed yet, but when everyone is happy and all the negotiations are done, then I should be signing for Ipswich.

"This has been the most difficult decision of my career, because I have made more friends at Colchester in one year than I managed in all my time at Charlton.

"I had a fantastic year at Colchester. They took a chance on me, and I'd like to think that I paid them back.

"But I've proved that I can score lots of goals in the Championship, and that's where I want to stay.

"I was playing in the Premiership only a year or so ago, so I don't want to drop down two divisions, especially at this time of my career.

"The club understands my position. I still had a couple of years left on my contract, so hopefully they will get a good deal, but not the £1m that was mentioned as the price tag put on my head. I'm too old to be commanding that sort of fee.

"If I do sign soon, then Ipswich might ask me to go out to Northern Ireland to join them,"
