Tottenham are requesting the views of the fans regarding the venue of the Carabao Cup third round tie, as per Sky Sports.
The report claims that Tottenham have not finalised a stadium for the third round tie which takes place on 25/26 September. Wembley would be unavailable during that period and the report adds that the club spoke with the club’s Supporters’ Trust, who launched an online survey,
The report adds that the choices for the fans as either a neutral ground, fixture reversal or voting for “no preference”. Should Spurs reverse the fixture, they would have to compensate their opponents.
The report further adds that Tottenham would be playing their first Champions League home game at Wembley. Tottenham’s clash against Manchester City on 28th October is a doubt for our new ground too and Sky Sports believe we could be playing at Wembley a day later due to an NFL fixture.
The Carabao Cup is certainly a trophy Mauricio Pochettino can target to break his duck at Tottenham.

Playing at a neutral ground or reversing the fixture might have hurt us in the past but we played away from White Hart Lane for the entirety of last season, so a few more games away should not be a problem.

Mourinho unsure about making January additions to this position at Tottenham
Jose Mourinho not keen on making defensive additions in January transfer window
Jose Mourinho’s time at Tottenham started off well with three wins on the spin. However, the new boss was brought down to earth after a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.
Spurs weren’t at their best at Old Trafford, but we did see a great goal from Dele Alli. The problem for the team since Mourinho’s arrival has been the poor defending.
We have conceded two goals in every game under the Portuguese, and Mourinho was asked about the defence during the press conference ahead of the Burnley game.

The boss was asked if the defence could be fixed or improved with signings in January, but Mourinho wasn’t sure that new players would fix things (h/t Football.london):
“It’s not the defence. It’s the defensive process which is a different thing. When we speak about defence we speak about keepers, centre-backs, the mistakes you make at the back.”
The manager added that he didn’t pinpoint individuals and claimed fixing the defence is a process:
“I don’t look at individuals but the defensive process, and that belongs to 11 players on the pitch. It is in our organisation that we have to resolve our problems, not about one players, or signings. It’s a process.”

Tottenham need to get back to winning ways
Spurs had closed the gap to fourth-placed Chelsea after winning two games in the league, however, we sit nine points behind the Blues now.
We have to finish in the top four and play in the Champions League next season. Mourinho can improve the side in January, and it will be interesting to see what moves he can make.

Dutch international midfielder to snub Tottenham in favour of La Liga giants
Donny van de Beek to snub Tottenham in favour of Real Madrid
Netherlands international Donny van de Beek prefers a move to Real Madrid over Tottenham, according to De Telegraaf (h/t Express).
The 22-year-old has been in great form since the last season and helped them reach the Champions League semis.
Van de Beek has been in good touch this season too. The midfielder has 11 goals and five assists in all competitions for Ajax.

Spurs could have done with a quality midfielder joining, especially with Christian Eriksen on the final year of his contract.
However, Van de Beek’s representatives have hinted that the Dutchman wants a move to Real over Spurs (h/t Express).
Real made an offer of €50million in the previous window but the midfielder remained at the Dutch giants (h/t Express).
The La Liga giants are set to offer €55m in hopes of landing him (h/t Express). Ajax have seen several talents leave after the previous campaign, and it will be interesting to see what happens with Van de Beek.

Tottenham’s summer plans will be important
Jose Mourinho has a tough job on hand to revitalise Tottenham in the summer window.
There are some players leaving on a free while a few have been average for a while. The new manager suffered his first defeat since taking over recently.

Premier League rivals could move for this Tottenham midfielder in January
Manchester United could move for Christian Eriksen in January window
Manchester United could move for Tottenham star Christian Eriksen in the January window, according to the Mirror (h/t Daily Star).
The Dane is a free agent in the summer and can speak with foreign clubs in the winter window.
The report claims that United moved for the Dane at the start of this season but he wasn’t keen on joining them.

Atletico Madrid and Juventus are keen on landing him on a free (h/t Daily Star) and it will be interesting to see what happens with him in the coming weeks.
United would have to part with a fee to sign him in January, however, they could save up and land him for nothing in the summer.
The Dane hasn’t featured much under Jose Mourinho since the Portuguese took over. Dele Alli has done a great job in the midfield and was on target again with a sumptuous goal against Manchester United.
It still came in a losing cause, and this was the Portuguese manager’s first loss since taking over at Spurs.

Spurs should sell Eriksen in January
The Dane doesn’t seem to be part of our plans at the moment, and it would be better to sell him in January than keep him till the end of the season.
We could make some money off the 27-year-old but selling him to a Premier League rival should be off the cards.

Mourinho only convinced by one defender since taking over at Tottenham
Jose Mourinho only convinced by Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham’s defenders
Jose Mourinho suffered his first defeat as Tottenham manager at the hands of Manchester United.
Losing any game is tough for the boss to take, but getting beat by a former club is even tougher to take.
Our defence was at fault again as we conceded two poor goals, one being a penalty, and there have been some questions on our back four.

We have conceded a couple of goals in every game under Mourinho, and the Independent claims that he is only keen on Toby Alderweireld remaining at the club from the defence (h/t Sun).
The Belgian is a free agent in the summer and he hasn’t agreed on a new deal yet. Jan Vertonghen is another who is a free agent in the summer.
The report goes on to say that Mourinho isn’t convinced with Davinson Sanchez too.
The former Manchester United boss even targeted the ex-Ajax centre-back in the Europa League final in 2017 (h/t Sun).
Big decisions coming up from Mourinho
Mourinho has some big decisions to make in the summer window with several players out of contracts.

Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen are free agents, and it will be interesting to see what his plans are for the defence.
Serge Aurier, Danny Rose and Sanchez have all struggled this season. However, making wholesale changes to the back four won’t be cheap.
