or possibly we are going to buy Grealish, a CM and wide attacker. once we sell Toby we might get a 4th signing or we might have to go down the brave route and either use Foyth as our CB on the bench or if we go with 3 at the back use Dier and use Wanyama as our DM.
when we finished 2nd Dier was mainly used in our back 3, last season he had to play in midfield because Wanyama wasn't fit

I doubt this would make any difference now at this late stage but with Spurs anything is possible.........

Aston Villa owner Tony Xia in advanced talks to sell club to an Egyptian group
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-advanced-talks-sell-club-Egyptian-group.html
Aston Villa owner Tony Xia is in advanced talks to relinquish control of the club to an Egyptian group, Sportsmail understands.
The Chinese businessman has spent the summer desperately searching for fresh finances to plug a £40million black hole following the side's failure to gain promotion to the Premier League.
Now senior figures believe a deal is on the horizon with Xia accepting the only way to secure investment is to hand over the reigns.
In the event of a takeover, Jack Grealish would still be expected to leave for a figure in excess of £20m, with Tottenham the leading destination, and Villa would also field more bids for James Chester, who is a target for Stoke.

The price would surely still go up however. Should have got this done for the US tour, if it ends up costing Levy an extra £2-3m now hopefully he might learn a lesson not to screw a deal too hard.

Even with money into the club they need to balance FFP and the only way they can do that is player sales. Grealish leaving is inevitable.

Fee must have gone up a bit now. Even if it's likely they still need to sell him.

We have top 4 rivals signing Mahrez, Becker, Fabinho, Fred, Jorginho, Leno etc and here we are haggling fees with a fucking championship club for fucking Jack Grealish. Really amazes me really...

It remains to be seen if those players are better than Grealish, maybe we can assume Mahrez for now but we shall see with the others.
This new investment doesn't mean Grealish is staying, more likely to go so that Villa can actually bring some money to the deal too.
