Dembele straight swap is the only deal I would take from Spurs.
Mr Fox said he's been having unsexy talks with Vlaar and Delph about how he sees Villa's future.

For me he's gone from indispensable to replaceable, especially now we have Sanchez. We don't really need an all action type, now we need someone with a bit more guile in the final third. As much as I like delph, he doesn't do that often enough.Would go along with that. I rate him as well, but he doesn't really produce that much in terms of creating chances and scoring goals. Purely based on those two aspects, perhaps. But there is more to a central midfielder. He is cute in possession, has quick feet and doesn't just restrict himself to the obvious sideways pass like the rest of our plodders. He is cheeky enough to show just enough of the ball to the defender before nipping away from him and finding space. Stoke away there were countless examples of this. He made it look effortless. He can then hit the afterburners and carry the ball at pace too, invaluable for a team that relies as much on the counter as we do. He might not weigh in with as many goals as I'd like, but when he runs at defenders they have a dilemma. Do they close him down quickly, or do they back off and let him take a shot. He's capable from long-range, and defenders know that. He's the closest thing we have to a box-to-box midfielder, without him in the side we look far too leggy and one-paced. So even if he doesn't often play the killer pass, score enough or make the last ditch tackle that gets the crowd off their feet, he is still going to be hard to replace.

Anyone that breeds up Helen Flanagan isn't right in the head.
The MEN are saying that it could be a £3 million deal for Sinclair.
