Been slammed with a transfer ban for two transfer windows, because of incorrectly signing u18 players or something.

[Coach]

Wow.

No Deulofeu next season then.

 

[bluelife]

They have a good enough squad to get through next season doing just as well. I'd say their squad would still be big enough to let Deulofeu go on loan too

 

[Coach]

Not about that though is it - it is about keeping up excitement for the fans.

 

[Kiwi]

aren't going to be able to sign halilovic as agreed, and with Puyol retiring and Valdes's contract ending, they are going to be in big trouble in the CB and GK regions as Pinto is awful.

 

[rascal]

With Valdes and Puyol leaving they're short on defenders in the squad.

 

[bluelife]

At least they're not going to be sniffing around Naismith anymore...

Can't sell or sign players or presumably loan players out. Its a complete transfer ban. We ain't getting anyone from Barcelona. What I find amusing is that the amazing "La Masia" Academy has not been entirely legal and so has cost the first team a chance at the title for next year. Global exposure will drop a bit too IMO

Watch Geri be an absolute don for them next season now.

I think it's just a ban from buying players but they're still able to loan/sell players

Chelsea were hit with a two-window transfer ban by FIFA in 2010, but won appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

 

[Fuleco]

Can't think of better positioned team in world football to deal with a transfer embargo than Barcelona.

just the one player for Chelsea however. Barcelona has been consistently doing it with 10 players over the space of 4 years, plus the other breaches mentioned in the statement from Fifa. Can't see them getting off it.

They are so rich and influential that they will undoubtedly find a way to get this decision overturned.
