His pay per game was by far the best ever back then. It might still be one of the best.

I have mixed feelings on his position. Clubs can be quite ruthless in how they cut players, so players insisting their contracts are honoured is not unreasonable. On the other hand, how can a professional footballer who is already a multi-millionaire be disinterested in the performance. It's a short career, make a statement, especially when already financially secure.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto provided an alternative view. He said he played for the money and didn't enjoy the game the way he did when playing with his mates. But he was always a professional. Maybe My feelings aren't that mixed after all.
