Bamba was a fantastic signing after a couple of games as were a few others, they just seem to lose it when playing for us
Like others, in his case it seemed to be when he got a new contract. If I was a cynic, Id say these lads are only in it for the money but of course, Im not
Although some players just seem to lose it. It mainly happens with the older players we bring it. Even Sol Campbell woke up one morning and just forgot how to be a footballer. Trick is to have a decent squad and not just the first team so that when one player loses it we have another to step in from within the squad already.
Unfortunately, that's the problem with half of them. Money first, club second. Look at that Forestieri. I watched the game against Villa where he scored the winner and he was waxing lyrical about the fans and the club in the post-match interview saying he was looking forward to helping them go up. Then two days later he is refusing to travel with the squad. You couldn't make that sort of stuff up. Could you imagine Clough with some of the players of today.
