Spanish FA, FC Barcelona sanctioned for international transfers of minors

[FCBarca]

Look forward to hearing what the board have to say because I'd love to read more specifics about the FIFA claims - initially brought up by an unnamed club, guess which one

The ban seems entirely disproportionate considering they are technicalities and the wording of the statement refers to the protection of minors which implies that the club had taken advantage of youth players...And even with a shit board like Rosell's, I could never believe that being the case...It's Barcelona and La Masia, not some poaching scheme of English clubs...They are schooled, play football and families are entirely part of the process - Messi himself is an example

Don't worry about ter Stegen and halilovic. They are fine.

Are you sure?

 

[serghei]

With this kind of troubles, I'd take the league title and don't care about anything else.

 

[hulinat]

Yeah. We dont need Ter Stegen. We have Pinto.

 

[Hamzah]

We have already signed them no?

 

[serghei]

Yeah. We dont need Ter Stegen. We have Pinto.

Pinto could screw up a game in as much time as it takes a normal human being to blink.

We will be able to sign players in the summer. We'll appeal, and the final decision won't be made before the start of the transfer window. If the court decides to reject the appeal, we'll have new players to be good for the season. If it accepts it, we're fine anyway.

Good thing is, the board will be forced to spend loads this summer.

This news will certainly mean reelections though, there's no doubt about that. Maybe Laporta can help us as the lawyer that he is.

 

[frog-fcb]

Im assuming that the ter stegen deal.has already been signed an sealed just not been announced to the media yet

 

[Ghostmaster]

During the appeal process, yes,

So it's all good, we will make all necessary transfers this summer and even if they deny the appeal we can survive without two transfer windows, it's not like we are doing a lot of business in winter transfer window anyway, so it's summer of 2015 that will be real punishment.

 

[Messi]

Precisely. That means other teams will have yet another leverage to bump the prices when they're negotiating with Barca.

This!

No matter the outcome it is bad news for us!

I really hope Valdes stays for 1 more season. Would he leave Barca with this trouble?

He has an ACL injury. He wont be back on the pitch until 2015, which means he'd only be able to play roughly half a season. That's not ideal.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

We have already signed them no?

I don't see it, since officially the transfer would happen DURING said transfer window.

 

[serghei]

He has an ACL injury. He wont be back on the pitch until 2015, which means he'd only be able to play roughly half a season. That's not ideal.

He'll be back by 1st of October.

 

[Hamzah]

If this means the fans finally wake up and try and get rid of the board then it will be good long term.
