Disgusting

Think it has more to do with Russell the man rather than Barcelona the club tbh.

Do people actually know why they use "Mes que un club"?

In case you don't know it has nothing to do with how Barca are today, but with the fact that Camp nou used to be the only place where Catalan's used to be able to speak their language..

Ignorance is bliss I guess. I bet most don't even know much about the history of their own clubs.

I know ter Stegen won't move now but what happens to Alen Halilovic? Does this ban include Barça B aswell?

Meh. Even if they don't get away with it they'll still be fine.

I don't read Spanish, but someone said this link indicates that the ban is irrevocable and unappealable?

Of course they will, if there's one club that could get away with not signing anyone for 2 windows its Barca.

I can confirm, according to them FIFA directly told them its "irrevocable".

Nothing on unappelable though, it also says the RFEF is complicit in this and has also been fined.

Apparently, Blatter had talked to them last year saying that, if they do this again, they would get hit hard. The latest underage signing must have been the last straw...

According to the last paragraph of that link, Ter Stegens agent makes it sound that if players signed prior to the ban that they are already signed and that those transfers wont be void.

That means we still get Ter Stegen and Hallilovic if they already put pen to paper before today. Which by the sounds both of there agents, they already did.

with Rafinha, Deulofeu....and even Bojan coming back (Cuenca and Afellay healthy again)...we are just again shit out of luck out of defenders. In every other position we seem ok, atleast for a year of no transfers. Time to promote Bagnack I guess

The holier than thou attitude from barca and it's fans can stop now, this last year bass been a disaster for them.
They'd have probably nationalised all these young stars then the clowns can role out how great la masia is and what a credit it is to football.
Just shows

Hate all you want, buddy. Your whinning will change nothing

Our reputation is tarnished, no shit. We can still work on fixing it. In the meantime we will continue to get results on the pitch. Fact

You cannot register them before the first of June. Is the ban prohibit registering new players?

Marc-Andre ter Stegen has stated that he will leave Borussia Monchengladbach this summer - even if he is blocked from joining Barcelona.

The Germany international still has just over a year to run on his current contract with the Bundesliga outfit but he has agreed to move to Catalunya at the end of the season.

However, that deal has now been thrown into jeopardy by the shock news that Barcelona have been banned by Fifa from signing any players for the next two transfer windows.

"I haven't heard anything about it and I don't know why are you asking me now," Ter Stegen told Kolner Express.

"I don't want to talk about it. I will definitely leave Borussia Monchengladbach in summer."

Ter Stegen's agent, Gerd vom Bruch, is unsure about whether the Barcelona deal is in danger of falling through, given it was agreed before the sanction was announced, but he says his client will not be short of alternatives.

"You can be sure Ter Stegen will not be unemployed," he told SID.

"I'm not a lawyer but the question is if already done deals are affected or not.

"I know Marc-Andre has still a contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach but I can't imagine he wants to stay longer."

Well, Man Utd also have a holier than thou attitude. I have lost count how many times I have heard a Utd fan complain about Barça players diving and say that it's not the united way, when you have Young, Rooney, Januzaj, Welbeck and had the king of all divers, C.Ronaldo.

Infact, English fans in general have a bigger holier than thou attitude than anyone in the world. Always going about how English players don't dive, it's only johnny foreigners, how they are an example of fairplay, how the PL is the best thing sinced slice bread and that you are a great player only once you have proven yourself in the PL.

So yeah, don't be a hypocrite..

Marc-Andre ter Stegen's agent does not believe that the Borussia Monchengladbach starlet's proposed move to Barcelona will now go through.

The Germany international had already agreed to join the Blaugrana at the end of the season but the deal is now in jeopardy after it was announced on Wednesday that the Catalans have been banned from signing any players for the next two transfer windows because of Fifa regulation breaches relating to the acquisition and registration of players under the age of 18.

Ter Stegen's representative, Gerd vom Bruch, had initially claimed that he was confident that the reported €12 million switch would still go through but now he cannot see how the goalkeeper can complete his move to Camp Nou.

"If I have read the Fifa announcement in the right way, Marc-Andre's transfer [to Barcelona] will not be done in summer," the agent told SportBild.

Ter Stegen claimed earlier in the day that even if he is blocked from joining the Liga champions, he has no intention of seeing out the final year of his contract with Monchengladbach.

Punishment not harsh enough, can you imagine the punishment and the outrage if it was an English club

by cyberman Wed Apr 02, 2014 6:55 pm

Well haraar if you're going to make stuff up about diving not being the united way you might as well call yourselves 100x cl winners
The utd way is playing with high tempo using the wings.. Not anything to do with diving.
I've never heard utd fans no admit that diving goes on at every club.. He'll we've booed ronaldo and going at times for their diving.
Hands up fans of other clubs who've done this.
But hey.. Barca are an inspiration!! Etc etc

by cyberman Wed Apr 02, 2014 6:57 pm

Going = young, thanks spellcheck
Times like this I wish the old forum was still available.. Remember the barca fans outrage over wenger, how ell clubs were pirates etc
Irony here at its best

Do you think that name-calling makes your arguments better? I think you would convey your thoughts better if you would voice them less vulgarly.
