Chelsea banned from signing players for 2 transfer windows

That is not good for Chelsea. Obviously UEFA will fold though, this is Chelsea after all ..

hmm bad news but that means we gotta wait till next year january.....just as we will be getting desperate. Atleast it guarantees we get a year where we don't make a massive loss

. Ambramovich has recently held talks to try and reduce clubs spending big money as he isn't keen to do so any more anyway LOL

Just shows you how dodgy football still is, god knows what goes on with tapping ups and these foreign agents.

Lets hope so...if Chelsea appeal and win this then it just reiterates my opinion that FIFA/UEFA are a bunch of gutless idiots who cant stand by their punishments.

Hardly news, is it? 99% of transfers involve some kind of tapping up, which has gone on for years and nothing can be done about it.

I would guess not

Considering the average age of the Chelsea squad is near 60, this is even worse for them

...............

SideWinder · 3 Sep 2009 at 14:14

Anyone fancy working out thei average first team age?

Football Law: Chelsea! You've been naughty, so you cant sign anyone for 2 transfer windows.
Chelsea: What!? Thats unfair!
Football Law: Well actually, we've slept on it and your right, lets forget all about it and be friends

daz · 3 Sep 2009 at 14:19

I expect it will be reduced on appeal to 1 transfer window.

Using the team thats on their wiki page.

27.6*

Including that new signing Matic, going by their Wikipedia squad list, so some probably shouldn't be included.

Just a way for FIFA to make the english teams weaker in Europe.

antijoke · 3 Sep 2009 at 14:27

This better be in Fifa 10.

Exactly this sort of thing goes on all the time, United and Arsenal have been enticing young player from around the world for years, there must be more to it.

Guaranteed this decision will get overturned.

Wtf...completely out of the blue but as a Chelsea fan I'm not entirely surprised by the Chelsea board (ala Kenyon) placing us in the **** as usual. I do hope it gets reduced to 1 transfer window though as otherwise we will be in serious trouble.
