Spurs V Man City and the defence problems at the Lane.

I think there is very little chance of us keeping a clean sheet again this evening. Tevez or Adebayor will surely be on the score sheet. I think it will be a case of us scoring more to win this game. We must take our chances, it's sure to be open as City won't be parking the bus.

I couldn't help but notice this link this regarding Tottenham's defensive frailties and the incredible relaxed approach about the biggest problem area in our squad:

This is madness by Spurs yet again! We knew that we needed another centre half during summer along with the Bassong signing as King would hardly play. (Not to mention Woodgate didn't kick a ball all summer).

The article states that Harry thinks we could be in for a disaster month in Jan losing two of the current back four to African Nations possibly for a month. (We knew this would happen though).
Harry then says he doesn't have a "Clue" when King or Woodgate will play again….
But then to my amazement Harry says we are fine in that area and he won't be buying a defender come Jan as we have plenty of cover in the defence…! Er….No we don't!!!!! You can't include Corluka and Hudd as centre backs and Bale as left back is not worth talking about. What happens if Dawson gets injured???

Can you imagine a back four of (Hutton, Corluka, Dawson, Bale) that would concede even more goals then the current line up…?

If we don't buy a centre half or two come Jan we will be lucky to finish in the top 7.
If we don't do anything about this we would be bonkers and will blow our chance of achieving any kind of European football.
