I thought it was due to some pre-season going AWOL shenanigans. And then the quenelle, and then the attitude.

The funny thing is, I genuinely think he was one of the few players of recent years who actually gave a fuck about Spurs. That said he was infuriatingly to watch when he was being particularly laissez faire.

At his best he was pretty good, but isnt that the same of any player.. at their best.

Just sent him this;

Yo Benoit! Why aren't you playing for Spurs? Are you a Nazi? are you a cancer within the squad? Do you like AVB? What's with the quenelle, do you hate Jews? Did you refuse to get off the team coach because the film hadn't finished? Like your hair by the way.

Did he say LOL

Good summary. RIP LOL.

No one loves Benny....

From sky sports:

EKOTTO LATEST

Benoit Assou-Ekotto – remember him? The Tottenham man is still available on a free transfer but as yet, no offers have been made for the full-back.

He's currently training away from the first team - with the Tottenham development squad.

Can't be any worse than whoever QPR is playing at left back these days. I remember Traore played there against us, and reminded us why he's one of the most uncoordinated players to ever play in the Prem in his performance.

It is all a bit odd when you consider that Ched Evans seems to be having better luck finding a club so far

Maybe that's because he gives a ..... oh wait, maybe that's in poor taste.

I'll get my coat! :oops:

Or he can put on a performance without having to be asked?

He can score as a late substitute?

There's probably better worded poor-taste insensitive jokes out there...

It's a shame really, I remember under 'arry when he was one of the best left backs in the league.

I also remember articles showing how he visits a local Tottenham barber shop and how he responded after the Tottenham riots.

People on here have short memories sometimes.

I think in the middle of the pitch he was quite a cool customer, but I don't think he was a very good defender and I don't think he contributed much going forward either. He did improve over the time he was with us, but I don't think he was a better LB overall than Rose or Davies, and neither of them are world beaters either.
Come on! Not better than rose or Davies? He had 2 real weaknesses; the occasional screw up, and not getting close enough to stop crosses. Outside of that he was solid. A good passer, aggressive, quick, calm and got forward. For at least one season the only better left back in the league was evra.

Yp Lee was better than rose or Davies for goodness sake!
