Ok, I'm not entirely clear on what this means.
1. What are the 10 signed players that infringed on the rules? How come nobody noticed this?
2. Does the ban cover transfers in and out of the club? Will we be able to sell?
3. What about the players that have signed pre-agreements? i.e. Halilovic, Ter Stegen and Valdes?
4. If Ter Stegen cannot come, can Valdes stay? Can we renew contracts?
1. I believe it is relating to the Non-EU youngsters eg. SWL, Kubo etc. Truth is the club DID know about it, they were just flouting the rules as usual.
2. Players WILL be allowed to leave, otherwise that would be a restraint of trade.
3. Haliovic should be okay as he is over 16 and from the European Union.
4. Any player already registered with our club can stay. But Valdes may already have a pre-contact agreement in place, in which case I don't know what will happen.
Don't we have to win the appeal before we could sign anyone?
We can appeal, and up until that appeal is heard and a final ruling is made we will be able to sign players. Much like a player can appeal a Red Card and if a fixture is scheduled before that appeal is heard, he can play in that match.
It doesn't mean we have to roll around on the ground smearing ourselves with faeces.
LOL! Rosell, Bartomeu and his cronies should all be frogmarched down to Las Ramblas and publicly flogged.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but its strange that off late we have been under the pump from everyone. It seems that people just want to ruin the club. Off course it doesn't help that our Board has basically fallen on its sword with the Neymar case but still.......
Come on folks are you guys telling me all is pure and lilly white in the world of Bayern, City, Chelsea, PSG, Real etc....
Off course its not. Why doesn't FIFA probe all the players stolen from us or all the other dodgy stuff? How about an investigation into Bale's deal or the Etihad sponsorship with City?
True! Maybe it's because they are smart about it and pay the relevant people off.
Fifa only allows international youth transfers when one of three situations apply: the player's parents have moved country for their own, non-related reasons; the move takes place within the European Union if a player is aged between 16 and 18; or the player's home is less than 50 kilometres from the national border being crossed.
It appears that the Seung Woo Lee transfer ultimately unleashed the Shit-Storm.
This is just funny, for any kid to be given the chance entering la masia is like winning the lottery. You are being payed to play football and on top of that the club prvide you with free education that is way higher quality than you would find anywhere other than in extremely expensive boarding schools. They have like one teacher on every 10 students and extra studying classes for the "dumb" kids, on top of that the club require all students to pass thier exams or they are expelled.
La masia is anything but exploiting kids, it is an extremely high quality boarding school where kids are payed to study and practice football. FC Barcelona spend 15-16 million euros every year on la masia, that is on around 100 kids so around 150 thousand euros per kid gets you some serious education.
La Masia is a world famous football academy and in a sense it IS A SPECIAL CASE. But nevertheless, we still have to abide by the rules and regulations.
Fucking FIFA!! Maybe they should be investigating the hundreds of deaths of immigrant workers because of the World Cup in Qatar.
Right-on Brother!
And don't forget about all the stadium workers killed in Brazil. How much "concern" for their welfare do FIFA have? How much blood does FIFA have on
their hands?
P.s. I wonder if JAYUK is going to appeal HIS ban.
