Spanish FA, FC Barcelona sanctioned for international transfers of minors

[Ghost]

What do you mean?

Don't we have to win the appeal before we could sign anyone?

From reddit, so take it with a grain of salt

According to high caliber of English journos (Rory Smith and Tony Barrett from The Times) Ter Stegen deal might be already done, so FIFA will let it through

Our clubs reputation has been crushed in the past couple if years.

If we can sign players in the summer then we're fine as long as we make the signings we need. If not, we bring back Deulofeu, Rafinha, and promote someone.

No team is 'clean' in football.

No. If we appeal, the ban is automatically delayed until a decision is made. Means we can, should and will spend until then.

And I'm quite confident our appeal would be accepted; we're obviously not the only offender and the ridiculously small fee suggests that the whole sanction is nonsensical.

More on it btw: seems a lot more complicated to win the appeal compared to Chelsea's:

Not a chance.

There is a 7 month period until the 1st of october. There's certainly A CHANCE.

Yes. Basically we'll be allocating the transfer budget from 2015 (45 mil) into 2014 (45 mil), which wont affect us that much. I'm fine with buying players for 80 mil this summer and not buying for a year. We have needs that will be addressed, and while the price may go up because other clubs know our situation we'll still be able to buy a GK and CB.

CAN YOU GUARANTEE THIS? If we dont get a centre back and a goalkeeper next seson is ruined already. We need to buy HUGE this summer.

It doesn't mean we have to roll around on the ground smearing ourselves with faeces.

ACL injuries are no joke. 7 months in very generous. Could easily take more than 9 months.

This is disgusting, I have no words.

This is guaranteed. The ban can't be enforced during the appeal process. And this case is not solved over night. We'll have plenty of time to sign what we need.

When the appeal is made although people think making deals should be a priority, many clubs will overprice their players and hold Barca to ransom as clubs know Braca will be desperate for players.
