Transfer embargo placed on Chelsea

[Shanks]

It's until January 2011. Two years, two seasons, two windows....call it what you like

18 Months apparently.

[Bender]

Chelsea must pay additional "training compensation" of 130,000 Euros to Lens, while the player has been banned from playing in official matches for four months.

UP YOURS YOU CHAVS

This is a big set back for them, but they'll only feel it next season.

and this as they cant buy anyone in January?

[Craig_H]

Chelsea will take this to the European Court for Sports Arbitration in Switzerland, no doubt.

[Bender]

they can take it Esther rantzen and That's life for all i care

[Darkon]

This is a huge setback for them at least concerning from January onwards.

This will hopefully set a precedence for other clubs as well when it comes to the heavy trafficking of youngsters ATM (we are not to good either on that front mind!!).

Can they still register youngsters from their own academy? Or is it all players no matter age?

[Craig_H]

This is far worse than simply tapping players up.

[Imy]

I wonder who Gillette and Hicks will induce from another club to get us banned from the transfer market?

and this as they cant buy anyone in January?

January transfer windows rarely have a significant impact on a big club's season, and their squad is big enough to cope.

[Kenneth]

Well, you got to laugh.
