Drazkul Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just saw chelsea sign someone in Jan 2010 - i thought they were supposed to be banned from buying players till september 2010? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I think if they agree a deal with, say, a Brazilian club for an under 18 chap, the deal won't be final until he turns 18. Same with Argentina. They can agree a deal in advance. But you are right - IRL, this registration would be suspended until 2011, so although they can sign him, he shouldn't be able to play for them.

postal postie Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Was the transfer agreed before the embargo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthgatesRedWhiteArmy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 If the transfer agreed before the embargo, and all he needs is to turn of age, then he is in his full rights to sign for the club as they signed him before the embargo.

Drazkul Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hmm he's an 18 year old uraguay player and is on a full time contract so i assume its acting like a proper transfer - will look to see if he gets any apperances. In fact he turned 18 on the day of the transfer. Ahh no idea when the deal went though - but surely if he didnt sign in the summer window they'd be under the embargo?

DanGLiverpool Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Then they might have agreed it before the transfer embargo took place, and it went through on that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazkul Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Guess that must of been what happened then - oh well i thought i'd check as i wasnt sure how the embargo fully worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebzilla Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I think that IRL the ban would affect a deal like this, as the ban is on registering new players, rather than transfering them to the club. Chelsea could, in theory, buy all the players they wanted just to take them off the market, and play them in friendlies, but they wouldn't be allowed to register them to play in any competitions. That's my understanding of it, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
