Real Madrid and Athletico banned from transfers for next 2 windows
(not including this one)
rather buggers United buying Bale or Ronaldo as they now won't sell anyone
I reckon Ronaldo will go to PSG in the summer - Ibra out Ron in, Bale the big man @ RM.
Not sure they'll sell anyone now. Does bugger up a move for Isco
It won't be a problem for them as they will sign Neymar
:hehe:
Every transfer window is the same.
Didn't the Barcelona ban wait unitl they signed Suarez?
Are you getting mixed up with Saurez being banned from playing?
Mayhap. But pretty sure some cheating went on with the ban.
If by "cheating" you mean it was suspended while they appealed firstly to FIFA
and then to CAS, yes. Odd definition of cheating imo
Allowing them to buy all the players they needed and thereby making the ban effectively irrelevant.
Well they were allowed to buy players, just not register them
One is a restraint of trade and the other a sanction within a competition.
Do they register these players as SORN.
Ardur Turan up on bricks outside Luis Enrique's gaff
It's still not cheating though - the rules and system were in place
They were punished by those rules and that system and appealed through that system so you can't say it was cheating. You could equally say what they did didn't warrant a two window ban :shrug: and of course the ban isn't irrelevant - they couldn't play Arda Turan or the other guys they signed until this month
They stuck to the letter but not the spirit of the law (see J's post below as well) bearing in mind
corruption in football I don't see how this can be a coincidence.
um - the courts and stuff kinda have to stick to the letter of the law, m
It's what they are there for. Sticking to the letter of the law = corruption :hehe:
Not in equity la. That's why we have so much international litigation in Uk.
