I think we have the transfer window closing before the season starts again next season which gives them even less time to get players in.
Chelsea given two-window transfer ban | Free to sign players in January
- Thread starter Zebs
- Start date
That Dutch team will sign them and will sell them back to Chelsea in few years.
Looks like they'll finally use some of their academy players.
Why even workaround rules for players they end up sending out on unending loans anyways?
Can they register Pulisic in the next window?
They'll appeal and it will only be the next two windows, just watch.
This means Sarri is finished. Current squad aren't fit for Sarriball and no replacements allowed, which means no sales allowed. New manager in ASAP for them.

I've thought that too.
They don't bring youth players through anyway, what's the point in going to all this trouble and effort breaking rules?
Good! Dark times ahead for them!
Easier for Man Utd. to buy players and to secure Top4 places.

Hasn't he already signed but they agreed to leave him at Dortmund for the season? The ban is against the signing, not the registering. By that rule they wouldn't be able to register a youth player over the age of 21 within their own squad if they turned 22 after the ban kicked in.
Isn't he already their player, just out on loan?
That will spice up the Hazard situation.
If their appeal gets overruled, would they be given extension ban?
Don't forget, they have about 4,000 players out on loan, some of whom are quite good.
They just might have to actually play a few of them now.

They have signed him but not sure if they registered him and then loaned him out. It sounded like transfer for next season.
Ban is for registration of new players. So not sure if that applies to Pulisic too.
It's amazing management really. Imagine our board did this?
Let's sign all the best youth players we possibly can and leave them in the reserves or loan them out before they eventually leave for next to nothing, leaving us with a transfer ban on players who've never contributed anything to the first team.
Woody would get lynched!

Hes going to pull a Griezmann
If it’s upheld, the lack of a striker, poor defenders and the Hazard situation will make this interesting.
If it's the same thing as Barca had it's a ban on registering new players. Barca bought Arda Turan while under the transfer ban and just had him in the team training with them until they could register him in January.
Sorry, read it as 2 year ban, not 2 window.

Chelsea have been braced for this. They can appeal to FIFA & to CAS if necessary & even if they fail to get the punishment reduced/overturned, the timeframe of the process should grant them this summer to do any essential business #cfc

No, ban is for registering players. Remember Barca signed Turan when they had transfer ban and he had to wait till Jan to play for them.
But how would that apply for youth players already at the club but turn 22 during the ban? They would need to be registered to play any part as they're no longer regarded as youth players.
They're already Chelsea players, it doesn't affect them. You just can't register and add a new player to the club.
I remember that and Chelsea can do the same and just loan players out but I'm wondering how it works with youth players. Surely they wouldn't have agreed to leave Pulisic at Dortmund if that meant he would be unable to play next season? They would have known this was coming.
But Pulisic is already a Chelsea player and loaned back to Dortmund right? So technically he should be able to be registered come June?
No, that registration is different from registering new player.
What you are saying is just a PL squad list.
That’s a teeth dryer for sure.
What was the use of loaning all those players that never play for them anyway?
No, its the exact opposite. The ban is for registering new players; that is players not on the clubs books. Both Pulisic and youth players already at the club or on loan will not be affected by this. They can sign as many players they want during the next transfer windows. But they wont be allowed to register them.
They already registered Pulisic. He will not be effected by the ban.
Youth players are already registered to the club, squad registration for league/european competition is different from player registration in general.
Also as already mentioned Pulisic is already registered and is a Chelsea player, he is on loan at Dortmund.
Well yeah but that's just the difference between being allowed to play or not. Any one can rock up at Chelsea's training ground and train with the team/play in friendlies etc but you have to be registered to play in a competition if you're over the age of 21. So how would that work for youth players already at the team? And thinking about it, how old is Pulisic? Isn't he about 21 anyway? Meaning he wouldn't have to be registered.
Yeah Suarez too IIRC.
Even if they appeal and have this summer to spend, clubs will just ask for a stupid premium knowing their circumstance. Hilarious stuff.
Just checked Pulisic is 20 years old anyway, meaning he doesn't have to be registered to play. He's eligible as a youth player to play in any competition.
Expecting this.
Yeah, but that registration is different from registering new players.
PL registration is to tell FA player X is part of squad.
The registration ban is about to tell player X is Chelsea player.
at the notion that the supporters of the "biggest football club of England" so relieved and happy that they won't have to deal with the threat posed by a "small time plastic club". You are every bit like those Rawk people whom you love to ridicule.Sarri: "Can't sign players? S'okay, my mate Don Jorginho's got this".
