Barca banned from signing players for next two transfer windows... could this be good news for us stopping them from taking Poyet... probably clutching at straws there...

    From Sky: This relates to the first registration of at least 10 players under the age of 18 into their academy.

    Though probably won't last too long, like Chelsea's:

    can their b team sign players? that might be a way they might try to work around it. Don't think it will affect them that badly, la masia isn't exactly devoid of any talent..

    Still, that's them off the list of clubs id want to glory hunt on football manager with.

    I think it's all transfers. A 2 window ban on signing under 18s would hardly be a major punishment would it?

    My mistake, I misread the headline

    "Spanish champions Barcelona have been given a 14-month transfer ban by Fifa for breaking rules on signing international players under 18"

    Its very interesting seeing that Victor Valdes is off in the summer so am guessing they wont have a good GK for a few years (even if he was to stay he's out for seven months injured)

    News from eight weeks time:

    "Barcelona's transfer ban has been reduced to a 50,000 Euro fine on appeal. This was followed by English football fans complaining that if it was one of their teams they would have been banned from Europe and their mothers insulted".

    Does it include free agents? Technically Poyet could be one in the summer.

    Usually a transfer ban includes free agents, and also the selling of players too

    Surely it couldn't constitute a ban on selling players ? That would surely amount to a restriction on the free movement of trade ?

    That's what I read last night, and I guess the whole point is that they broke the transfer rules and so they're trade is now restricted as a punishment

    But wouldn't it also impact the players who are now restricted from plying their trade elsewhere ?

    I'm not an employment lawyer, I just can't remember a transfer ban covering the disposal of players as well as recruitment.

    Surely they can't stop people from leaving?

    You can't stop employees from going elsewhere. The punishment is on the club, not the players.

    It definitely doesn't stop players leaving as Valdes and Puyol are both leaving this summer. Although they might be out of contract?

    Valdes is Out of Contract, they've agreed to cancel Puyol's

    I think it's to do with selling players rather than not letting them leave, they will be able to leave on a free but from what I understand Barcelona cannot make any money through selling players

    Hmmm...I'm still not convinced that wouldn't breach EU legislation.

    Either way, as I said further up its probably a moot point because there's very little chance this ban will actually be implemented after Barca appeal.

    Re Poyet I think out of all the teams he's been linked with I'd be most happy seeing him go to Barca than say Arsenal or any other English club. Hopefully Real Madrid are in for him.

    Ban extended to 2 years for a frivolous appeal?

    Man Utd are after Poyet.

    I've heard we are trying to get Petrucci on a permanent contract from Man Utd, but we've got in trouble tapping up a player from a smaller team.

    Word on the street is we can only sign Petrucci if we agree to take on Rio Ferdinand
