The Realistic Fantasy Transfer Rumours For Summer 2013
0May 23, 2013 by Sean Charles
Here is a rundown of the rumoured biggest transfers of the upcoming transfer window:
Radamel Falcao to Monaco
Monaco, managed currently by Claudio Ranieri, made headlines last summer with the signing of highly rated River Plate youngster Lucas Ocampos for €16 million. The Russian billionaire in charge of AS Monaco, Dmitry Rybolovlev, is determined to once again help the club scale the heights of French football and he sees the signing Falcao as a major stepping stone in this development that will serve to attract other stars to the club. It is said if the move happens Falcao will double his wage and there may even be a clause inserted into the contract which could allow him to leave the club after a season as Monaco are currently in a dispute with the rest of French football concerning their laxed tax laws – something the other clubs feel gives them an unfair advantage. The speculated price of the transfer is rumoured to be around €60m.

When Salva met Celta
0March 6, 2013 by David Bolt
A couple of weeks ago Celta de Vigo, who are currently battling relegation from Spain’s Primera Division, fired manager Paco Herrera and replaced him with former Atletico Madrid stalwart Abel Resino. As with most managers, Resino wanted to bring his own coaching staff with him. Normally, this is no big deal; but in this case, his choice of Salva Ballesta for his assistant manager caused a lot of problems.
Salva Ballesta is one of the more controversial figures in Spanish football. His playing career saw him play for several Spanish clubs; most notably two spells at Atletico Madrid, and included a short loan spell at Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League which was in the middle of a pretty unsuccessful few seasons at Valencia.

Pellegrini manages to defy off-field restraints
1January 26, 2013 by Daniel Storey
It is an almost irrevocable fact that off-field issues at a football club will affect the performance of the team. Blackburn Rovers have been on a rapid decline since the Venky’s circus came to Lancashire, but the perfect example of this is Leeds United. In 2002/3, after a fifth-placed finish the season before, the club sold Rio Ferdinand and Robbie Keane during the summer as the full extent of the financial crisis became apparent. The club still retained players such as Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Ian Harte and Alan Smith amongst other internationals, but proficiency dropped alarmingly as the club slipped towards the economic abyss.
