Spurs defender signs new contract


Benoît Assou Ekotto has signed a new 4 year deal. I personally think that it's fantastic news.

He's repaid Harry with his performances and has made the left-back position his own. A few mates of mine just won't give Benoît the time of day and wanted to see Gareth Bale given more of a chance or a new left back signed.

If Bale was given a chance, I wouldn't mind seeing him in a more attacking role on the left wing, but The Modfather has claimed that position, so I'm not to sure where that leaves Bale?

  1. Best news I've heard all day. He's not bad for a footballer that doesn't care much for football.
  2. Let's see how he performs in tonight's game. I've noticed most players that sign a contract at Spurs, play rubbish in their first after signing it.

    Let's hope not.

    COYS!!!
  3. I'm another fan that thinks we should be aiming higher than BAE. He's okay, but if we are to break into the top 4, then he's not good enough.

    The same assumption can be given to the likes of Huddlestone, Corluka and Defoe.
  4. We're not going to attract a better LB than BAE without CL football unless we get very lucky with a youngster (Bale? he'll need to shake off his injury and jinx first).

    If we want to challenge the top 4, more important than top 4-class individual players (who will be rapidly snatched up by citeh or the top 4 anyways) are teamwork, consistency, and mentality - like Everton except higher quality and more depth.
  5. Great news for Spurs! He's grown as a player; needs to hone his defensive skill but the boy has a fantastic touch on ball.

    COYS!!!
  6. Are you serious! Are you saying Defoe isnt good enough for Champions League! You watch this season he will be top scorer in the premiership and will be in the England World Cup squad. As for Corluka, did you even see him play againts Liverpool?! Obviously not! He Was Class. Also Huddlestone is still young and learning so I think you need to think before you talk...
