Tottenham hero Waddle fumes: Clean them out; get them out!

Tottenham hero Chris Waddle has blasted the players following their humiliating defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Mauricio Pochettino's side were obliterated 7-2 by the German giants, who scored five goals in the second half of the group game on Tuesday night.

He told BBC Five Live: "Clean them out, if they don't want to play for Tottenham get them out and get some people in who want to wear that white shirt.

"I don't think (Serge) Aurier wants to be here. He tried to get away in the summer, they wouldn't sell him, got rid of (KIeran) Trippier instead.

"They should've bought a right back and said 'yeah, you want to leave, then you want to leave'.

"At Spurs at the minute there's too much going on, whether it's (Christian) Eriksen or (Toby) Alderweireld out of contract. So and so wants a new deal, (Jan) Vertonghen wants a new deal – is he signing? Is he not?

"You've got to say that it's a shambles at the minute and they've got to sort it out quickly because that squad, even though I'm saying the defence is not good enough, it's still good enough for the Premier League to finish in the to four.

"So they've still got a lot to play for, it's early doors. But they've got to do it now.

"If they wait and say in January this is going to happen and he's going to leave and he might not leave, the changing room becomes unsettled."
