Barca given transfer ban by FIFA

Segway

It's a good message to send from FIFA. Not even a club as big as Barcelona will be able to bend the rules as they please. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the Neymar transfer ruling and if the same line will applied to FFP.

A transfer embargo? Wenger's wet dream.

but somehow, don't we all know that barca will get away with it? that's how the football world works.

btw, that korean kid lee seung-woo is supposed to be shit hot. scores goals for fun for their reserve teams against older opposition. breaks my heart that he plays for them.

Of course they will. Like Chelsea before them, they'll pay someone off and it will be lifted.

football is just as broken and corrupt as politics, but at least there are some sick goals occasionally.

He considers paying for players financial doping.

That's why he paid £42.5m for one of course. :hmm:

Claudius

you guys better hope there is an AM who scores - because that's all Wenger will spend big money on. an AM. everything else he will develop or pick up in the bargain bin

wenger should really just go manage a small-sided team. that's what he really wants - 5 AMs out on the pitch, interchanging positions, playing combos; there are no final thirds, just the middle third b/c the pitch is smaller.

Biggus

And no tiresome demands from fans that they win things.

Because he's a liar and a hypocrite.

Rex

To my recollection all Wenger ever has been saying is that clubs should only be able to spend what they earn. How does that make him a liar and hypocrite then when he spends some of the money Arsenal FC has earned?

FIFA will allow Barcelona to sign players this summer. Their suspension is suspended for now

Not entirely surprising if true

Ray

Great, now go for Sanchez.

Irishgunner

Confirmed by FIFA 🙁

Suspended pending an appeal so not entirely surprising. If they've done something wrong let's hope the appeal finds them guilty.

goon

Was widely expected to be suspended wasn't it?

Have they sorted out their finance issues yet?

Football governing bodies are such a Joke.

Betcha if it was a "smaller" team the ban remains

Qwiss

Typical. The big 2 in Spain are beyond the law.
