Why?? If true that is a bizarre decisions by AVB. There must be something more to this as you don't just tell one of the players you pay thousand of pounds a week to miss training.

Just bumped into Benoit Assou Ekotto in the north of France- says he's been told by AVB not to report for training #sad
He posted a pic as well - https://twitter.com/calumhdavidson/status/368771811992809472/photo/1
If that is true we cannot really expect people like Bale to stay loyal to us

The annoying thing is he didn't even get a chance under AVB imo. Was injured for a while, came back in the team, dropped, back for a game, dropped again. He wasn't a 'AVB type player' but unlike Dawson he wasn't given a proper chance to prove his worth...very annoying.

Not exactly true, he had knee issues for the second half of last season, it was stated several times. Would you rather he was given a chance when deemed to be injured?
Yes he was injured but when fit he still wasn't given a fair chance.
Who does it benefit to not have BAE training btw? i mean why would AVB think that's the best thing to do. Makes no sense at all.
I'd heard whispers since last Xmas that benny would be on his way, albeit to PSG at that time (and we can see that didn't happen!)...personally I am gutted because I believe he has a great incisive edge going forward...suggests to me that we have a left-back coming in (Contraeo maybe?) as IMO Rose is absolutely not up to it (would love to be wrong on that one BTW)...sad if he goes. I love the geezer.
how would we get contraeo when bale isnt going to madrid
