Maybe you should read them again, because posting non English transfers is fine? Foreign tweets simply need to be translated or they can't be posted.
So it's not a non English transfer rumour but adding a English translation to a non English tweet you're referring to?Read the transfer rumour rules on the very first page of this post...

This is so true and am surprised it hasn’t been picked up more. It’s inevitably because the English press still overrate their own players, but Dier, Rose are worth next to nothing now and Alli’s value is falling all the time.To think Levy could have sold Dier, Rose and Eriksen for around £180m but ended up getting just £17m for Eriksen and the other two became useless squad players.
How people still rave about him is a mystery...
Eriksen and Alderweireld should have been sold with a year to go and they would have gotten 100 million at the very least.
It’s an art that’s not talked about too much, but knowing when to sell is as much of an asset as bringing players in. Ferguson arguably made a few errors but was so good at it and it served us so well over the years.
If he had had sense, he would have capitalized on the inflated values of those players and cashed in. As it was, he botched every single one and now faces selling Kane or Son, or not getting in major cash at all.

Yeah they might have sold us Mata & Matic but think this one definitely falls into the never selling to a direct rival category. I do think he would be better supported in that area at Utd though with the likes of Matic, Fred & McTominay than he is at Chelsea though.Would love Kante at United. Never happen though.
He's not a pure DM and never was.I love Fred but not sure he could replicate what Kante brings to the pure DM role, not to Kante’s level anyway.
I have the same feeling, especially after the whole Sanchez thing. Signing underperforming and ageing players that rely so much on their physique for big money... If we were to get a version that Chelsea's got, it would've been an amazing signing. Of course, he's not really suited to the football that Lampard wants to play, but peak Kante would've gotten in regardless of the competition & playing style — and it's not like Jorginho, Kovacic and Mount are playing like Xavi or Iniesta.As mad as it sounds, I think I'd pass on Kante.
He's not the new Paolo Maldini that he was once seen as, but he's been pretty good, especially as a center back lately. He'd be amazing next to Maguire (even though both favour the left side) with his pace and overall mobility, but I doubt that Bayern are going to let him go.Is he still hot shit? Seems weird Bayern would be willing to let him go when he should be in his prime. Versatility and experience would be useful for our relatively young squad I reckon.
Would he be much less than the £45m they baulked at for Werner? Highly doubt it.Could Liverpool be in for him? Especially after missing out on Werner

Id say Chelsea are more likely to sell Jorginho to Juve than let Kante leaveWould love Kante at United. Never happen though.
You don’t think Kante would be better for us as a DM than Matic?He's not a pure DM and never was.
I mean that In whatever way we’ve utilised Matic over the past few years Kante would have been an improvement.
Yes I agree that would be a concern. Thing is he’s still head and shoulders above many of the alternatives in any sort of defensive midfield role though isn’t he?Kante's best years have been in a double pivot at the base of midfield. Alongside Drinkwater at Leicester and then alongside Matic at Chelsea. Under Sarri he got pushed into a box to box role and has never really played as a sole holding midfielder with Jorginho now alongside him. It would be interesting to see him alongside Pogba and Bruno but I'd worry that wed get him just as his legs start to go. We've not done well with older signings.
Partey? But he’s more limited on the ball.
Depends on the price imo.

Hmmm I would say so. Not as dynamic as Kante, more of a basic destroyer, but bloody good at that aspect. Never struck me as a DLPPartey is not limited on the ball

Watch his performances vs Liverpool in the CL, he's very tidy and composed on the ball, will be a great signing for Arsenal if they sign him. He was my 1st choice for if we were to sign a CM this summer.Hmmm I would say so. Not as dynamic as Kante, more of a basic destroyer, but bloody good at that aspect. Never struck me as a DLP

What is this based on? He's been injured off and on all season. The times when he's been fit he has made a considerable difference to our team. He's not even close to past his best. If deployed in a less advanced area of pitch (and if fit) he's still the same old world class Kante.Not mad at all.

If he is sold (and I sure as hell hope he isn't) it'll be solely down to Lampard wanting a different style of midfielder, not because he is on the wane. He'd still be a huge asset to any side. Which is why there's no chance we'd sell to a PL rival.

Combination of miles on the clock, injuries and being played out of position for two years now, allied to his age, all means I think he’s past his best. It would be a silly purchase for any top PL side to make, especially since you’d have to offer a contract that would take him well into his 30s.What is this based on?

I'm going to wait and see how he looks in these last 9 games. If he comes back and gets injured again then you may have a point about mileage on his body taking a toll. But this season has been the first time in his PL career when he's had injuries. He's been a machine for club and country for the last 4 years or so. As someone who watches his every touch I don't think he's nearly over the hill yet.Combination of miles on the clock, injuries and being played out of position for two years now, allied to his age, all means I think he’s past his best.

How long do we have Ighalo for though? Less than half of next season I thought, especially if the season starts later than normal. I also think a lot of people have drastically overestimated how much Ighalo can give us.Can’t see this after securing Ighalo. I think he’s a good player though.
I would take Jiminez for a reasonable price. PL proven, good scoring record over the last two years, and strikes me as a player who will age like a fine wine.

Part of me will miss him. Loved watching him burn players. City are losing a serious player.

Oh great, City may be in the hunt for a winger. Here's hoping their CL ban is firmly upheld and extended indefinitely.

I get the impression that Guardiola doesn’t want him anymore, am sure they will carry on fine without him.
"Sancho to City" stories will no doubt follow.

Have there been any estimates on what Sané will cost? Even with just a year left on his contract it's not like City are in need of money and need to sell now. They could do what we did with Hazard and extract a huge fee even in his last contract year or tell Bayern to feck off and wait a year.
And Bayern aren't known for spending mega money on players.

That is true, but knowing Bayern, they will play the waiting game, stroll to another BL title next year and then pick up Sané for free. I may be wrong, but Bayern dont seem like the club to be pressured into overpaying.Have there been any estimates on what Sané will cost?
