I think he has mistaken the date. April fools is over.
Btw I don't think we should open threads with source that come from twitter.

Who does the breach relate to I wonder? 
Wonder if this will stick or whether they will find a way round it..

Wow, did this just come out of the blue? Hadn't heard anything about this until now.
Is it a delayed April fool joke?

The Disciplinary Committee regarded the infringements as serious and decided to sanction the club with a transfer ban at both national and international level for two complete and consecutive transfer periods, together with a fine of CHF 450,000

Is this going to affect the ter Stegen transfer is what I want to know.

Unless he was signed in January and loaned back to Germany, then it will.
I'm not being an idiot when I assume that this means they can't sign any players over the next 2 years? Not just U-18's?
Well see that's the kind of stuff that should go into the OP. Not some twitter quote.
My word. This is serious shit. Probably get overturned though as most of them seem to.
Surely they'll find a way round the GK crisis. At the very least, they'll be allowed an emergency loan, no?
And aren't they allowed to sign free transfers?
And aren't they allowed to sign free transfers?
Valdes and Pinto are supposed to leave this summer, and their defense is anyway weak. Oh dear.
Oh and if Barca can't appeal this they are going to be fecked. Short on defenders anyways with Puyol leaving in the summer and they can't bring anyone in? They are fecked if FIFA goes through with this which they should if Braca really is guilty.
And totally forgot that they are losing their GK as well, is the ter Stegen contract already wrapped up? If not,

Gunda-u-man!
No my reading of it is this summer and next jan that would be 2 transfers periods.
They'll appeal against it, which will take us into the summer, sign a few players, then either drop their appeal or they'll lose it. Cheating cnuts.
2 windows, to summer 2015 is when the ban lifts. I presume it is to do with contracted players, so they can still take young academy lads and all that.
Halilovic deal too, where does that stand?
On 27 March 2014, FC Barcelona reached an agreement with Dinamo for a five-year transfer to the club for an initial fee of €2.2 million
He's a journalist. Why wait until he types it up on a news site before discussing it?
Ya, agreement, but he is not yet registered to Barca. Does that void the deal, or can they loan him out, or just push the joining date forward to 2015 I suppose
Barca will be in serious trouble if they Cant get it overturned or suspended.
Gladbach now have Ter Stegen and Sommer, so they'll probably look to loan one of them out. They might loan Sommer back to Basel, although he'd be a decent short term loan for Barca actually.

Well. Well. I was going to say "wrong date" but this is actually legit, no?
Feckin' hell. They'll no doubt appeal. Successfully too, I shouldn't wonder.

More than just a club
Surely to be appealed...
First time I see something like this...

So it looks like Barca will get off scot-free... again
They will still be able to sell players but I doubt they will given they are already short of numbers in defense and need attackers after being involved in around 55 matches at least each year. With Puyol and Valdes leaving defense will be in trouble. This is chance for likes of Bartra to establish himself.
I would imagine if barca can prove they have players on pre contracts for the summer, they should be able to sign them.
Anything that isn't already pre agreed though should be binned.

Barcelona given transfer ban by Fifa
Spanish champions Barcelona have been given a 14-month transfer ban by Fifa for breaking rules on signing international players under 18.
The Catalan club cannot buy or sell players until the summer of 2015 after the world governing body imposed a transfer ban for the next two windows.
They have also been fined 450,000 Swiss Francs (£305,000).
Fifa has also sanctioned the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for the same breaches.
The RFEF has been given a fine of 500,000 Swiss Francs (£340,000) and told to "regularise [its] regulatory framework and existing system concerning the international transfer of minors in football" within a year.

Can they appeal the decision?

Won't happen. This is FIFA we're talking about.
It'll prove nothing. Their registration wouldn't be approved.
To think practically though, it will come to nothing. Barca will reach 'settlement' over it with FIFA. Maybe FIFA will reward them with referee of their choice for few games as well.
