He has been left in no doubt that he will never play for us again andvthst comes from someone who is connected with the club. I asked what in particular he has done wrong and who in particular he upset. I was told it was a culmination of things, ranging from poor to supervise attitude towards training and time keeping. No interest in tacking individual game plan tactics on board. His political belief and support for that French 'nazi' comedian regarding that antisemitic gesture and his tweets, for which he has been banned. He was told to stay away from the club and his contract would be paid until another club were found. They also believe his world cup showing where he headbuted a team mate was a disgrace Finally they think his form deteriorated so much at qpr he just isnt worth the hassle. He must have had interest shown inhim by ssomeone if he is back doing fitness work.

such a pity as well as on his day he was a great left back and one of my favourites. I didnt mind his laid back approach as long as he did enough on the pitch and joined in as a team but it seems he did so much he just annoyed upper management too much.

my cousin is an academy coach at spurs (under 14s) and he tells me ekotto did not report back to training after the world cup and therefore fell out with poch. He said that he was asked to train with the under 21s but he prefers to do bike work in the gym on his own then has his shower etc in the under 14s dressing room as he says he doesnt like anyone at spurs. He is only training under the advice of his agent so as not to breach his contract and still pick up his wage. I used to love benny but this is dissapointing.

on a side note, my cousin also tells me poch fell out with tom caroll which is why he was loaned to swansea.

My mate said poch thinks Carroll is the mustard and will be no1 central midfilder after he wins Swansea the lague this season. I wonder who is telling the truth? :cautious:
