Bit of a bugger when you've just lost your first choice keeper for six months & the replacement makes Graeme Smith look solid & dependable.

If they cannot sign any players they will have to get by with the players already on the books which could mean Oscar not being able to bring any starlets over here on season long loans.

Brighton
Carles Puyol is also going in the summer and this means they can't replace him with the likes of David Luiz or Daniel Agger as they wanted to

Basically, this is a great day for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid

Cue the inevitable appeal which will take them I to the close season and allow them to do some early business thus negating the embargo for this window.

It is a shame that FIFA don't apply the same rigour to the world cup issues and the dodgy
dealings in their own back yard.

Hopefully the football league will take note when dealing with FFP transgressors.

Bad news for Barca but it is good to see the big clubs not being immune from sanction for a change.

Reading more about this it seems strange and must involve more top clubs than Barcelona, maybe its because they are the most high profile at developing young players and are being hit as an example to other clubs. It also appears the Spanish FA have been complicit in knowing about these transfers and turning a blind eye. The biggest fallout is probably these promising young players who may be sent back to allow Barcelona to overturn this.
