Former Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard, now at Hull, has told fans he is driven by pride and not pound signs following recent criticism of his displays.
As the Tigers fight for Premier League survival, frustrated supporters have turned on the £5million club-record signing since he returned from injury last month.
Many feel Bullard has failed to recapture the form which saw him crowned the Premier League player of the month for November.
But speaking to the Hull Daily Mail, Bullard said: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but sometimes it goes like that. It is hard to win player of the month every month.
"I am out there to do the best I can and sometimes it is enough and sometimes it isn't.
"One week you are up in the clouds the next week you are down. You make what you can of it, but I never get too down about it.
"When the whistle is blown I'm just out there being me, there's no money in my head."
