Barca Transfer Ban Upheld

[PhillyBlueMoon]

Looks like our top stars won't be linked to the Catalan club after all this upcoming calendar year...

Found on ESPNFC.com:

Three cheers for the Court of Arbitration for Sport. In rejecting FC Barcelona's appeal against their FIFA-imposed transfer ban for rule-breaking in the signing of youth footballers, they have demonstrated that a big club, perhaps the big club in this area of football development, cannot simply disregard the rules and bluster its way through the consequences.

It's been criticised though Philly.

They've front-loaded a number of transfers (including Suarez) in the time they've been appealing the original decision.

It is only 2 windows so January and June and then they can buy in January.

They've also been let off the hook with the tax issues and the very dodgy Neymar deal.

I still think they are getting the run of the green.

We were never going to sign Messi anyway!
