Spanish FA, FC Barcelona sanctioned for international transfers of minors

[serghei]

Yeah Barcelona exploiting kids by giving them better lives for them and their families. What a bunch of crooks!

We'll win on the appeal. All we have to do is prove those jobs promised to the kids parents were real. If they were real, no one can prove wether the parents move so that their son can play for La Masia, or they moved because they got job offers in Barcelona.

It's not what you know, it's what you can prove. Coincidence is not proof.

Joke of a board... one screw up after the other. They ruined everything this club stands for...

There HAS to be new elections. If they have any shame, they should all resign, like rosell did.

From a club who used to have no sponsor on their shirt and people used to respect just for that then UNICEF and now this shit.

Save for MIX, Busi and exceptional generation of players else barca couldn't even get out of this muck.

 

[ebc_99]

totally agree. our club's reputation is in the mud. we used to be a well respected and liked team.

Our reputation is not in the mud, know one cares about this ban and we all know we will win the appeal and it will be forgotten about in a few months. We are still the most popular and respected club in the world. The current board are not the club and everyone knows that, you cannot judge Barca by those guys just like you cannot judge a country by its government.

Yeah that's the spot. Let us hope that the paperwork and the procedure was done correctly and not sloppily. If done right, the circumvention of the rule is a legal exploitation of a loophole and there is nothing FIFA can do but change the rules for the future.

i don't know. even 5 years ago i remember people liked us and neutrals would root for us. nowadays we are mostly hated outside of ourselves.

This is hilarious! Now I know why we haven't signed almost anybody in the last few season... The board was getting ready for this ban! Such geniuses! They have been preparing all along!

"We have 120 millions available for transfers", hahahaha! Looks like we are going to keep saving!

Exactly. We can say that, hey, these nice guys from Africa came here to work, and, guess what, we've just found out that they have a son who's great at football.

For that to work, there mustn't be any ties between Barcelona and the job offers.

Well to be fair, winning breeds jealousy, and jealousy breeds hate. And as Master Yoda would say, hate leads to the dark side.

Barcelona could have stilled not been involved in any scandal, and still be hate merely for being winners.

Can you imagine if we spend 240M next summer

 

[Hamzah]

true

 

[xboogiex]

I still find this strange a club like Ajax is doing this alot with scandinavian players.

 

[Sumlit]

Everyone does it, which is why it is convenient and suspicious that they are targeting Barcelona alone. The timing is impeccable.

 

[linetty]

This has to be a joke. They have to withdraw this shite after the appeal!!

 

[NotInHere]

I know we cant always win titles, theres has to be dark years, evey team no matter how big it is goes through this cycle, but if we cant sign anyone, wouldnt that mean we'd be wasting prime years of some of our stars here by not signing key puzzles that could take us all the way?
