No they don't.
Anyway... if you make an XI plus bench from these two squads it should be a pretty even mix.
The quality Spurs appear to have at the back needs to be weighed against just how injury prone those 2 lads are.
Gomes, Cudicini...
Bale, Assou-Ekotto, Corluka, Kaboul, Bassong, Dawson, King, Woodgate...
Huddlestone, Palacios, Jenas, Bentley, Kranjcar, Modric, Lennon...
Pav, Defoe, Crouch, Eidur Gudj...
Given, Taylor
Bridge, Garrido, Sylv, Zaba, Micah, Ned, Lescott, Toure, Kompany...
de Jong, Barry, Vieira, Ireland, AJ, SWP, Petrov...
RSC, Adebayor, Tevez, Bellamy...
Question:
Why the bloody hell do we line up to defend?

They should also be encouraged that their success this season has been based around a core of players Fabio Capello may choose to call upon for his England squad this summer.
Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch will definitely be selected by the Italian, while you would expect Aaron Lennon to join them. Tom Huddlestone has been mentioned in dispatches, and Michael Dawson has enjoyed a better season than most of his rivals for a centre-back berth.
The most exacting conundrum Capello faces, though, concerns Ledley King... blah blah blah...

Hmmm. So, is Hansen's assumption of Spurs having the better side based on their British/English players? Obviously, with that logic, City's superstars cannot even hope for a mention as our snazziest signings are largely from overseas, with the bread and butter players (Given, Barry, Bridge, Richards, Onuoha - even Bellamy - et al) being mostly homegrown.
I have to hand it to Wideboy 'Arry, though: he knew Robbie Keane was a "wrong 'un" and made sure he walked to the footballing netherworld of the SPL, sharpish. A few years ago, City might have been keen on Robbie Keane - thank fook times have changed!

A couple of classy defenders who can't get through a half a season between them.
A pacy headless chicken who's hit a purple patch - still only managed 18 games and 3 goals this season though.
A gifted little footballer - but again, only 18 starts and 2 goals - if he can't control a game he seldom influences it.
I'm staggered that Kranjcar has 12 this season - he's a thoroughly lazy cock - 1 goal every 2 starts speaks for itself though.
