Thanks: Gave 103, Got 406 | Chelsea banned from making transfers!
Just heard on SSN...
FIFA have banned Chelsea from registering any new players for the next two trnasfer windows after in incident with a Lens player in 2007.
Basically means Chelsea can't sign anyone new until 2011.

No wonder they were so keen to dish out new contracts to the existing players

It'll be interesting if they get any injuries to key players to see how Ancelloti copes.

Incredible. Chelsea lawyers will worm their way out of this somehow but what on earth happened to incur such a move by FIFA?

Well, the football governing bodies are enjoying their crazy-arsed punishments at the moment, aren't they?

they signed some youth player from Lens. Kakuta i think his name was but no idea what they did wrong.
Might have been tapped up because i seem to remember when they got convicted for taping up cashley cole they said more severe punishments would be given in the future if the same incident occured.

The big Clubs have the power in the modern game not the authorities. I would be staggered if this ban fully stands.

Platini is not the biggest fan of the EPL so not much would surprise me currently.

SHOCKING!!!! | Barcelona still bang on about Fabregas to this day (not suggesting Arsenal did anything wrong before anyone jumps on me).
For me the clubs do have the power in the game and could easily force a similar situation like what we had recently in F1. Who'd still be interested in the UEFA champions league if all the big clubs walked away and formed their own super league.

To be fair we're always going to get the cries of "Platini/Blatter/FIFA/UEFA hate English football" nonsense and conspiracies whenever the teams are punished.
