Juan Mata is out of contract in the summer, but has been offered a new deal
And in his latest blog entry Mata kept it short, writing: “You deserve better. No more words needed.”The 31-year-old is out of contract in the summer, but has been offered a new one-year extension, while it is being reported Brighton want to give him a deal.Hi manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is hopeful he will stay. “He’s a fantastic person and a fantastic player,” he said before the Huddersfield draw.“It’s up to him. I’ve had words with him and he knows how highly I regard him.“I was so pleased for him [scoring the goal against Chelsea] last week; it would have been so much nicer for him to sit there and talk about Juan scoring the winning goal against Chelsea.“He’s a top pro and let’s see if they manage to agree.”Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a tough rebuilding job on his hands at Manchester Unitedgetty2
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a tough rebuilding job on his hands at Manchester United
Solskjaer was critical of some of his other players after the draw, revealing a number are unlikely to play again.I cant talk about individuals now but theres achance youve seen the last of [some] players, he said. We werent good enough . . . the table seldom lies.Effort and attitude was not the problem. The players were running and trying. We just werent good enough. That is the problem.”

Tottenham Hotspur: Four things Spurs need to do to reach the next level
Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 defeat to Southampton has left the club battling to remain in the Premier League’s top four.Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are all now aiming to knock Spurs out of Champions League qualification places.Tottenham Hotspur manager watches his side lose 2-1 to Southampton.7
Tottenham Hotspur manager watches his side lose 2-1 to Southampton.
And a frustrated Mauricio Pochettino has admitted the team may now be at their maximum capacity and need to reach another level next season.Reacting to the defeat, Pochettino told talkSPORTs Alex Crook: Its a difficult thing, we are talking about the last nearly five years to change a mentality.That is a clear example that we are still not mature enough.When you talk a lot and when you find a lot of solution, its only one way, its to try to change, making different decisions thats from the past. Of course, maybe that is our limit. Its a little bit sad, but maybe we need to start to think that we need to operate in a different way from the start of next season.I think we need to find the way to operate that we can provide the club to try to achieve the last step.I think we are doing a fantastic job in the last four/five years, but I think we need more and still we are not there.Tottenham players looked dejected after their late defeat to Southampton on Saturday7
Tottenham players looked dejected after their late defeat to Southampton on Saturday
If we want to put the club in the last step like the people is talking, its of course that we need to find a way to try to provide the club the style that is going to make us to be better.But if Tottenham are to reach another level, what needs to happen at the club? talkSPORT.com takes a look.

1. Get settled in the new stadium

After more than a year-and-a-half away from White Hart Lane, the fans and players became far too fatigued.Even season ticket holders stopped going to Wembley with the extra travel and the lack of atmosphere taking the fun out of seeing Spurs play.If their new arena gets through the two planned test events they will play their last five home matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – or whatever the new name will be.The new stadium could well be opened soon@Lilywhite_Rose7
The new stadium could well be opened soon
This should be a huge boost with fans flooding back to watch their heroes and fully get behind the team, something which has been lacking this season.If the team and supporters settle quickly then the club could get a huge boost next season. In their final season at White Hart Lane where Spurs went unbeaten on home soil in the league it felt like the crowd were sucking the ball into the back of the net and this is needed once more.

2. Improve the midfield

The loss of Mousa Dembele has been huge this season, while injuries have seen Mauricio Pochettino forced, more often than not, to field Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko as a midfield two, with either Christian Eriksen or Dele Alli occasionally dropping deeper to make it a three.If Spurs are to reach another level they need to sign at least one world-class ball progressing midfielder, like Tanguy Ndombele, while if Eriksen is to leave in the summer a creative force is also a must.On top of this, another playmaker would be a wise addition given the lack of competition for Eriksen in recent years.Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen could be on the move.7
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen could be on the move.

3. Upgrade the full-backs

Against Arsenal, Kieran Trippier was bullied relentlessly by Alex Iwobi and has struggled to find the form which saw him thrill at the World Cup last summer.Team-mate Sissoko has often been tasked with covering the England international so he isn’t so tortured by his opponents, which can leave Spurs light in the middle, which isn’t ideal.Meanwhile, Serge Aurier, Borussia Dortmund performance aside, looks far from the marauding full-back seen at Paris Saint-Germain. Often the Ivorian looks timid going forward and rarely looks to beat a man, which lets Tottenham down in games where they have the majority of possession.Kieran Trippier scored an embarrassing own goal against Chelsea and his been poor for most of the season7
Kieran Trippier scored an embarrassing own goal against Chelsea and his been poor for most of the season
The duos’ performances in contrast with how Ricardo Pereira has got on at Leicester City has many supporters raging as they clearly missed out on the better player when they eventually signed Aurier.A replacement at right-back is essential, while the promotion of Kyle Walker-Peters should be considered if both are turfed out by Pochettino.On the opposite flank, Danny Rose is finally getting back to his former self but Ben Davies, at the highest level isn’t good enough as a wing-back. His versatility makes him a great option but the fact he is ineligible for homegrown status in the Champions League means he could be a shock name on the chopping block.Ben Davies could be a casualty in any Pochettino overhaul7
Ben Davies could be a casualty in any Pochettino overhaul

4. Appoint a sporting director

Across the years, Tottenham have had numerous sporting directors, technical directors, chief scouts and head of football operations with Frank Arnesen, Damien Comolli, Franco Baldini, and Paul Mitchell being the most remembered.Without one currently, Spurs appear to be struggling to identify key signings and if they are to be more focused this summer and in the future employing a new one should be considered.Damien Comolli believes Premier League clubs must take responsibility for the England team's failings and insists nothing will change until clubs have continuity in their coaching structures beneath the first-team7
Former Tottenham director of football Damien Comolli
Upon having his title upgraded from head coach to manager, Pochettino was handed more control over transfers but right now he seems unable to strike the right balance and a helping hand is needed.Had the club been wiser last summer they would have at least had Jack Grealish on the books and right now it’s hard to argue he wouldn’t have played at least 30 times for the club and allowed players like Harry Winks some vital rest without stretching the squad.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wanted to play their first match against Arsenal
Spurs are already six months behind schedule on the troubled project and are due to make an announcement on the progress this week.They could still host Arsenal at the new ground but would need it ready for one of their three home Premier League games before the derby date.Tottenhams new ground was due to be opened in time for their Premier League clash against Liverpool on September 15, butongoing delays mean the new ground still has no official opening date. The clash against Manchester United on January 13 had been pencilled in as a potential first match at the stadium, but that wasruled out as a possibility last month, with their next home fixture after that coming against Watford on the penultimate day of the month.Despite the delays, Tottenham look certain to move to their new stadium before the end of the season, and they are likely to play at least a third of their league matches at the arena.However, Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock believes Spurs should be forced to remain at Wembley for the rest of the season.
