Spur of the moment
Frederic Kanoute
Wouldn't argue too much with that, except I'd say his level dropped way more than just a couple of percent.To answer you both I think the level of effort he put into games dropped, certainly by enough to notice but maybe it was because he was leaving and sub consciously you lose a couple of percent.
I vividly recall being shocked at the deathly expression on his face the day he was filmed clocking back into Cheshunt at the start of his final half-season with us. The rest of the players breezed in. Of course there were all sorts of rumours in the media around his private life at the time, so irrespective of whether they were true or not (probably not) you'd guess thay must have have affected him.
Whatever, it was screamingly obvious he no longer wanted to be here. But he seems a very private man, not the sort who opens up about his problems, so we may never get to find out.
