It might be a good time for Daniel Cousin to leave Lens
By: Bob | August 9th, 2007
Have you ever met someone who just doesn’t pick up on signals? Like when they are talking with you and you can’t take their bad breath anymore and you walk away and they continue to follow you. God I hate that. People are always walking away from me. One guy who is attuned to the signals of his club’s supporters is Daniel Cousin.
The Lens forward and Gabon international is on his way to Scotland to play Rangers after refusing to play home matches for his club. His reason for not wanting to suit up at the Stade Bollaert? After scoring just four times in 30 starts last season he was routinely booed by the home crowd and eventually he flashed an obscene gesture in the direction of the Lens supporters.
They didn’t take too kindly to this.
Explaining his problems at Lens recently, Cousin said: “There are people who have come to my home several times trying to attack me in front of my family.
“One broke my car, another launched rocks at my windows.
I don’t want to stay at Lens.”
That is the problem with modern footballers. Someone launches a rocks at their windows and they are ready to up and leave. In the old days it would have taken at least a rocket attack to drive them away. Prima donnas.
