A professional footballer, paid by his club, should perform well irrespective of background speculation. Andersen was a good example of this.

Last season didn't work out as Styles hoped when he negotiated his new contract with the release clause in it. Believing the hype surrounding him he had hoped to take the Championship by storm and, as an established Hungarian international, have clubs swarming round at the end of his Millwall loan period. Unfortunately average form and a three month lay off due to injury, has meant his plans didn't work out and he faces the prospect of the Third Division at Barnsley. He should still put in 100% however which doesn't appear to be the case.
