Roy Keane tore into Ireland player Matt Doherty as he assessed Tottenham's chance of finishing in the Premier League's top four.
The former Manchester United claimed none of Spurs team - bar Harry Kane and Son Heung-min - would interest the league's best sides.
Keane was involved in a debate with fellow Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp who argued that Tottenham had a“strong squad full of internationals in every department.”
This didn't wash on Keane, though, who said: “Playing for your country doesn’t make you a top player. If you can trap the ball you can play for your country these days…
“If you don’t play for your country these days you are a bad player. It doesn’t guarantee anything.
“Which one of this Tottenham team now would get into Liverpool, Manchester City or the Chelsea team? You wouldn’t touch any of them. Son and Kane – outstanding – but the rest of them you wouldn’t touch.”
Redknapp responded by saying: “[Toby] Alderweireld would get in the Man United team right now.
“You’re right that the goalkeeper is not good enough and the two right-backs they’ve signed, no, I don’t trust [Serge] Aurier or [Matt] Doherty…the back four isn’t good enough but [Sergio] Reguilon is as good a left-back as there is in the country.”
Keane was in agreement with Redknapp when it came to Doherty whom he coached when assistant manager of Ireland.
“Doherty's playing for Wolves who the last year have done well and they're expecting to compete. They sell him to Spurs for €15m,“ the Corkman said.
“Does anyone really think Doherty is going to turn Spurs into a top-four team? Doherty? Doherty? Really?
“I expect them to be in the top seven or eight but the idea that Spurs automatically should be in the top four, if you analyse the players…they say [Jose Mourinho] is chopping and changing but he’s chopping and changing for a reason – he can’t trust them.
“We talk about [Gareth] Bale and Bale came on last week and made a difference. What did he do? He put in a corner. He’s come in to do big things and get them back in the top four but he can’t get in the team.
“I’m sick of talking about Dele Alli. What do we think is going to happen with this kid? We look at stats from three years ago. He’s lost the hunger. He’s lost the eye of the tiger. He’s not going to get Tottenham back to the top four.”
