Some important numbers for the attention of Benoit Assou-Ekotto

I was just catching up on the news from the last few days and I came across Tottenham's Benoît Assou-Ekotto issuing a plea for his club to do whatever it takes to hang on to their top stars and bringing in new ones... or risk becoming another Aston Villa.

Ouch!

The way things stand at the moment, it's not hard to at least partially agree with him and his message will definitely resonate with a fair number of Villa fans disgruntled by the recent austerity measures.
