Club Statement on new development:


https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/ ... al-verdict


Chelsea Football Club has today issued the following statement:

Chelsea Football Club has today been notified by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) that its appeal has been successful. The transfer ban imposed on Chelsea has been reduced to one window, which has already been served, and Chelsea is therefore free to sign players in the January 2020 transfer window.

Chelsea is grateful to the CAS for the diligent approach that it gave this matter. The club has not yet received the written reasons for CAS’s decision but wishes to make the following clear:

1. The approach taken by FIFA to this case has been deeply unsatisfactory, not least as FIFA chose to treat Chelsea entirely differently to Manchester City for reasons that make absolutely no sense to Chelsea.

2. FIFA accused Chelsea of having breached Article 19 of the FIFA regulations in relation to 27 players, covering the period from 2009 onwards. Of those, 16 players were registered by Chelsea in exactly the same way as other Premier League clubs registered players at the time. Furthermore, Chelsea sought clarification from the Premier League in 2009 about whether it needed to apply for permission to register players in this category. The FA subsequently liaised with FIFA and it was confirmed to Chelsea that players in this category were entitled to register and that no special application was required (and in fact no special application process existed). Accordingly, the fact that FIFA brought charges against Chelsea for this category of player was perverse. We are grateful that this appears to have been corrected by the CAS.

3. In relation to the remaining 11 players, Chelsea’s position was as follows:

a. Six players qualified for one of the exceptions set out in the FIFA regulations. As a consequence, to the extent there was any breach in relation to these players, the breaches were of a procedural nature only.

b. With respect to the remaining five players, FIFA’s position was that it “deemed” these players to have registered prior to any application for registration being made. Chelsea maintains, as was held by CAS in the Real Madrid case, that the FIFA regulations do not cover a concept of “deemed registrations” and accordingly it is not open to FIFA to “deem” that registrations were made before they were in fact made.

4. Chelsea respects the importance of the work undertaken by FIFA in relation to the protection of minors and has fully cooperated with FIFA throughout its investigation. However, if FIFA continues to impose inconsistent and unequal sanctions on clubs then it will not only undermine the very purpose of the regulations, but it will also bring into doubt the game’s confidence in FIFA being able to appropriately regulate this important area.

time to bring in Sancho and Chitwell...it's on now

None of those players are moving in January given the performance and/ or ambitions of those clubs. The type of players who are a bit easier to pry away from their clubs midseason are Ake, Zaha, Geremi Boga, Aina and possibly Osimhen.

Yes they want him but it makes no sense for Chilwell to move midseason given the form his club currently is on. Worst case situation, they are finishing top 4 this season which is worth tens of millions plus more.

Chelsea is going to bid 72 million for Jordan

Chelsea will sign him

[Benedict Iroha]

Sell Pedro and Giroud.

Try to beef up the defense before any Sancho signing, our defense is our weakest link this season. We need Khoulibaly bad.

[kalani JR]

They'll probably get Ake in January and that's it.

Christensen is the flavor of the month?

Not a single shot on goal....Everton is winning this

Kepa..what a pure waste of money

It’s all Arsenal’s fault.

[green4life]

Lampard stumbled upon a winning formula but since he’s tweaked it to accommodate Kante (understandable), Azpilcueta and Christensen, it’s been downhill. He has to go back to the drawing board and analyze what worked and get braver with future personnel decisions before he loses control of this season. There’s little by way of this transfer window to buy LT solutions.

Big Dunc.

...is he related or son of the United Ferguson? I have seen somewhere his son play football too in the lower division.

They'll probably get Ake in January and that's it.

Why is Ake highly rated?

I don't know, I like the guy but I think he's at his level.
