well supposedly they just signed Sevilla's right back Vidal but he can't play for Barca until after their ban ends

How exactly is it a ban if they can sign players?

Cheers

I expect members of the Canal Street Blues will be a common sight in the club shop this summer if this happens

They can't register players but they can buy them.

Insanity.

I'd like to be punished like that the next time I fuck up.

There are also some reports that they're trying to get Gundogan on the same basis. However, not every player wants to be restricted to training only till January. If Barca pull out for Gundogan the rags may be in.

amazing that this can happen with uefa/fifa in charge of things

Ings signed with Liverpool according to Sky.

The stellar signing for them which is the long awaited Suarez replacement.

seems to me that with Klopp and Ancelotti both stating they want a break from the game has forced their hand to keep the Brodge. IMO they would both probably go to Anfield, however, now they are staying with the Brodge (for the short term), they will sign players on the cheap as he has proven he cant be trusted with big money. Then come January he will be sacked for the first manager available and they will be given the money in January to bring in reinforcements to save them from relegation

Nothing to do with UEFA/FIFA this ruling came from CAS.

Please let this happen. But let Brenda stay until next summer rather than January

anyone else surprised by how few players we're being linked with? this is going to cause huge issues later on down the line when snub stories can't be run...

We have seemed to be more careful and secretive about our targets (i.e. Fernandinho, Negredo). However, what is concerning to me is that our top 2-3 targets are increasingly looking like they may stay, or go elsewhere. (Pogba, De Bruyne, Sterling).

Curious who will can sign as a so-called "crack" if we miss out on all three.

Dani Alves signed a new contract with UEFAlona.

Thank god, i was afraid we would be interested in him.

There are some other rumoured "realistic" targets:

Kondogbia, Firmino, Schniderlin, and of course perhaps Isco

thats because they cant bring anyone in, I think you will see him replaced once the restrictions are lifted

Sterling, Pogba, De Bruyne, Wilshere, think i read about Coleman somewhere, anyway that's a good few to get the snub count up and running, I am sure they will think of a few others as they waffle on into July.
