Thinking about this more scientifically, compare our squad to theirs (I have left out most of the youngsters for now):
Defence, inc GK :
Villa : Friedel, Guzan, Dunne, Collins, Cuellar, Davies, Young, Warnock, Beye, Clark
Spurs : Gomes, Cudicini, King, Woodgate, Bassong, Kaboul, Dawson, Corluka, Hutton, Bale, Assou-Ekotto, Walker, Naughton
Assessment : I would say on first team quality we edge it, they have more second-string players. Mind you, they are about to sign Gallas - hmmm - VILLA NICK IT
Midfield :
Villa : Ireland, Downing, Petrov, Young, Sidwell, Delph, NRC, Albrighton, Salifou, Osbourne
Spurs : Huddlestone, Palacios, Jenas, Lennon, Kranjcar, Modric, Rose, Bently, OHara
Assessment : Closer than I thought, but I would say Spurs are stronger, especially their second string
Strikers :
Villa : Carew, gabby, Heskey, Fonz
Spurs : Defoe, Crouch, Keane, Pavyluchenko
Spurs clearly better. But if we picked up Keane in place of Heskey it would depend on who they can sign in the next 10 days
