Transfer Crash throughout Europe as money dries up: Good article in the Guardian revealing the lack of serious transfer activity in Europe following the world cup. Overspending on player salaries and reduced TV money seems to be to blame with several big Italian & Spanish clubs in trouble. Interestingly English clubs are responsible for the top 3 close season signings (Anelka, Diuoff, Viana) and when Ferdinand and Bowyer move, that will mean top 5. Have English clubs missed the danger signals, or are they fundamentally better off than those on the continent?
