“I feel Tottenham have gotten so many common gamers, we speak about the strain Spurs have on them to get within the prime 4, however when you take Kane and Son out of that workforce, Spurs are a median Premiership workforce and I’m being well mannered.”

It’s full of internationals, there’s rather a lot of high quality on this workforce, I don’t suppose they’re enjoying to their most.

Redknapp: “Yeah, he most likely has. He’s been chopping and altering, enjoying with a distinct participant each week, that doesn’t assist. I don’t suppose that Jose is aware of his finest workforce however I don’t suppose you’ll be able to flip round and say this isn’t a powerful squad – it’s full of internationals.”

Keane: “He’s not unhealthy. Would he get into any of the highest groups in England? Man United wouldn’t take him, Man City wouldn’t contact him, I’m not even certain Leicester would take him.”

Redknapp: “I feel he’s a greater participant than what you’re saying, Roy. He’d get into your Man United workforce proper now.”

Keane: “I feel Spurs had been higher two or three years in the past with Trippier, Eriksen and when Alli had the starvation. Spurs are good on their day, like heaps of groups. Jamie makes the purpose there that they’ve obtained heaps of internationals. If you entice the ball, you’re going to play in your nation. If you don’t play in your nation now, you’re a unhealthy participant.”

Redknapp: “That’s not what I’m saying, Roy.”

Redknapp: “Hojbjerg? Alderweireld would get in Man United’s workforce proper now, I feel he would. I don’t suppose the goalkeeper is nice sufficient. The two right-backs, nah, I don’t belief them. The again 4 isn’t adequate. Reguilon is nearly as good of a left-back than there’s within the nation, so I feel you’ve obtained that flawed. I feel he’s a category participant.”
