Simon Lappin, King Of Spain 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Interesting..... he played a regular part in their run to the FA cup final and in the league durign that season, I have a mate who is a Millwall fan and I seem to remember him saying that they rated him pretty highly at the Den, didn''t have the funds to buy him at the time though. Having said that his form must have taken a bit of a dip in recent years if he ended up at Colchester. Can''t be any worse than Semmy though!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted July 5, 2009 Gave away a pen for flooring Pattison in our last meeting... but that was a strange old game; Cureton got a hat-trick, Otsemobor broke the invisible wall to score and Lisbie scored. [:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HighTower 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Would be an awesome signing, always been a good Championship fullback, would do an amazing job in League One.. Imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigmarkcanary 0 Posted July 5, 2009 This from a Col U season ticket holder I know:Take him!!!!Seriously, we need him off our wage bill. He was highly-rated when he came to us in Jan 08, a Spurs trainee who had played in a few Prem games for them, and we outbidded Southampton for him at the time. But he just cannot defend, maybe he''d be better utilised as a right-winger rather than a right-back, he is a liability when anyone runs at him. He has been nowhere near the first team since Williams left. I don''t think he even played a single minute for us since November, and he hasn''t been injured.Oh and keep him away from the pie outlets...Sounds a bit familiar, I think we''d best stay away from him!

How come he''s failed to do a job at our match 1 rivals? On paper he sounds decent but... That said, Roeder kept a few decent players inexplicably in the cold for a while so who knows whether Gunn''s team could get the best out of them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Wal 315 Posted July 6, 2009 Perhaps if we gave them an extra £50000 they would take Otsemobor in part exchange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iin that case I retract my optimistic statment, he could very well be worse than Semmy, surely if he was that promising he probably would have stayed at Spurs.
