I disagree, people that I know and speak to regard Kolorov quite highly where as Assou-Ekotto is 'one of the worst full backs in the league'. Its ridiculous.

In terms of defending Ekotto isn't any better than average. As a footballer he is technically one of the best.

He has a very lethargic attitude to defending and it isn't a good quality in a defender. He's also a bottler.

He can be lazy and lethargic at times yes, but he reads the game very well the majority of the time, hence his high interception rate, disagree with him being a bottler though.

If he cuts the divy moments out best lb in the league, but let's be honest, he still has his moments

He has fantastic technique. He was able to twist and turn with ease against Torres and Drogba.

He's a legend, Benny. I dont know how the club officially bestows a player as a legend, but I believe Benny is a legend of THFC. His style of play, his looks, his coolness, his interviews etc, no one in this generation will forget Benny 20 years from now...

I've got no problem with him, he was mocking the blue shirts pathetic play acting, and the refs inability to spot something unless it was massively over-sold. I'd get annoyed too in his position.

Besides, when Benny flips - Disco Inferno!

He must be one of our longest serving players now

Probably, not quite King or Dawson, and Defoe to an extent if we forget he went Pompey for a bit!

He signed along with Lennon and Hudd didn't he?

I can see him pretty much finishing with us, as long as he keeps enjoying his football and playing like he does don't see why not?

He's just been busking on the jubilee line. The girl whose guitar he used has just earned an extra £200 in busk-earnings. He just tweeted it.

I think BAE is actually my idol. Not only a model professional, but a model human being.

Beniot Assou-Ekotto is one of three best left backs in the EPL second only to Ashley Cole IMO.

I think Benni is the better of the two on the ball, and the best passing full back in the league.

Defensively there are lapses but so much of our better moves are started through Benni.
