Don't believe it before I see it. FIFA will find a way to fuck us over.
I don't get it. The registration ban was for two consecutive transfer windows (January 2015 and Summer 2015), which means we are free to sign players again. RFEF regulations allow us register a player, who wasn't registered the first time around, to cover for Rafinha's injury. What the hell is the problem? Is the club afraid of upsetting FIFA again?
From sport:
"Barcelona asked FIFA three months ago about when exactly the penalty expired. FIFA said that "under no circumstances" can Barcelona register a new player until January 4. Thus, the club refers to this and follows a "zero risk" policy with FIFA, and do not plan on asking the question again. So they cannot register Arda Turan or Aleix Vidal until 2016."
However, while Freixa believes Barca have grounds for making such a move, AS says he feels the club "are afraid to confront FIFA as they know there are still unresolved cases involving the signing of under-age players outstanding."
