Ban has been lifted. So not surprising.

Not lifted; suspended until the appeal has been concluded.

Enough time for Barca to sign Gago,Arteta and Walter Samuel.

This sort of thing works on the same premise as bail in the court system which is founded upon the mantra 'innocent untill proven guilty'.

Spot on.

barça signing two washed up madrid players ? i'd love to see it   

Before anyone goes on hypothetical transfer scenarios concerning Barcelona, ask yourself the following question: Is Zubi still handling transfers?

If your answer is "yes" then there is a high possibility nothing would be done (that would actually benefit Barcelona immensely).

Agger stay safe

No doubt a few brown envelopes and money transfers to offshore accounts influenced the decision

If that was the case they wouldn't have got the transfer ban in the first place.

Use your noggin!

They obviously got told that they had to double the amount of bribe this year or face serious consequences. Barca being the self righteous angel that they think they are, did not heed the warning and were feeling brave.They din't listen and look what took place, need to understand that Fifa operates like a mafia. Fifa is a propa Cosa nostra

They obviously got told that they had to increase double the amount of bribe this year or face serious consequences. Barca being so self righteous, did not heed the warning and were feeling brave.

Sounds like a true bat-shit crazy conspiracy theorist.

Next, you'll be telling us all that our Governments disperse mind-controlling drugs in the contrails of aircraft.

We knew as soon as the sanction was announced that Barca had the right to appeal and in doing so would suspend the transfer ban until resolved.

lolol zubi and the board, what a bunch of fkwits. Knowing this might be the outcome they only ended up buying a 30 yr old and a 28 yr old injury prone cb     

on the bright side it stops zubi from buying scrubs for a while.  

RIP fifacelona 2009-2014

window's still open
go for it Zubi!
25m € and you can have Antonio Rüdiger!

Ah well, such is life.

@goal_intl Barcelona can't sign anyone else big this window cos of FFP, unless they sell big first. Who can they sell & make big € ? No one wrote:

Is this FFP thing true?

Nah.

PSG and City were spending freely up until this summer, when UEFA placed some restrictions on their spending (wages can't increase, squad size for CL limited). If Barca want to spend in this window still, they can. Even if that would put them over the FFP edge, the sanctions would come later (when Barca are under a transfer embargo anyway) and would be manageable, like those sanctions on PSG and City. Not that I even know if Barca would break the FFP rules if they still spent big in this window, they make a lot of money after all.

Barca statement:
“FC Barcelona may not in any way share a resolution that is an affront to the spirit of our Masia, a world renowned example of academic, human and sporting education.”

looool these absolute pricks really think the world revolves around them, don't they?

The best clubs don't follow those rules anyway, as it should be.

Yeah, I found that funny as well

It's basically the "spirit of Masia" - signing underage players from around the world - that's what is breaking the rules... and then their defence is that "we cannot accept the spirit of Masia being restricted"
