That's fairly insane, even if I'm very much *not* a Chelsea fan. Legolas Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 02:04:41 PM
So, uh... I'm a Chelsea fan and obviously completely neutral on this matter. But what THE HELL.

Seems a little harsh, right? No new signings until January 2011.

Wow.

Er, yeah, that's rather unprecedented... when I saw your title I first thought it was a joke, then that it was a bizarre FIFA move to tackle the rampant and rather unhealthy way in which teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid and others buy players nowadays (though then they could hardly have singled out Chelsea so). But as punishment for doing that, yes, very weird. I don't imagine the story will end there.

On a completely random note.. Dodge - 03/09/2009 05:30:43 PM 532 Views
Why stop at the time and date? Monkey - 03/09/2009 05:33:26 PM 541 Views
And, more relevantly considering the thread, football. Legolas - 03/09/2009 05:38:20 PM 569 Views
Yes, the sky is the limit! Monkey - 03/09/2009 05:40:25 PM 540 Views

Done! Monkey - 03/09/2009 06:07:21 PM 507 Views
I am not sure if it is possible to be "substandard" when compared to the regulars. Liam - 03/09/2009 06:26:13 PM 634 Views
Don't be mean to Russell and Frankie Monkey - 03/09/2009 06:49:59 PM 569 Views

Chelsea have released a statement: Dodge - 03/09/2009 05:07:33 PM 626 Views
They got a young man to break a legally binding contract TheCrownless - 03/09/2009 05:38:21 PM 609 Views
Exactly, this is not the same as being found guilty of tapping a player up Mark - 04/09/2009 10:15:50 AM 569 Views
