Chelsea not banned from signing players for next 2 windows.


Recommended Posts

Can they play in the reserve league, for example?

 

No. Not allowed in any FA, FL, UEFA or FIFA sanctioned games. Basically that extends to anything with an FA sanctioned referee in charge. They could play closed doors games but in the eyes of FIFa their registration remains with the parent club.

Trialists can and Sunday League matches are generally sanctioned by the FA

Could they let us borrow them? :)

 

Yes, they can loan out unregistered players as they're still contracted to Chelsea, just unable to play for them.

legally, had to happen, if you are in the midst of an appeal, then the original ban has to be dropped incase it is found to be illegal

Court lifts Chelsea transfer ban over Kakuta signing

 

Chelsea have had their transfer ban lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after reaching an agreement with Lens over the signing of Gael Kakuta.

 

A statement on the Cas website said that the two clubs and the player had accepted the player's contract with the French side was not valid.

 

Thus Kakuta could not have terminated it prematurely, so Chelsea could not be liable for inducing it to be breached.

 

The Cas said all parties agreed the proceedings would remain confidential.

 

In September 2009, Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber imposed a four-month ban on the player and banned Chelsea from registering any new players in the next two transfer windows over the case.

 

A statement on the club website from chairman Bruce Buck said Chelsea were glad to have resolved the matter amicably.

 

"It was always our intention to work together with Lens to reach this end, and both clubs have strengthened their relationship as a result of resolving this case to everyone's satisfaction," he said.

 

"In an act of good faith and with a view to the possibility of future collaboration with Lens, and without recognising any liability, Chelsea has agreed to pay compensation costs for the training given to the player while at Lens, as mandated by Fifa in its original ruling."

 

Kakuta joined Chelsea in 2007 and finished his first season at the club as the youth team's top scorer, winning the academy's player of the year award.

 

In his second season, he broke into the youth and reserve teams before suffering a double fracture of his ankle in February 2009.

 

Chelsea lodged an appeal against the original Fifa ruling, allowing Kakuta to make his first-team debut in the 4-0 win over Wolves at the end of November.

Does this include signing people who are out-of-contract...?

 

It will be interesting to see how the decision is worded, as firms like Brabners Chaffe Street will be rubbing their hands with glee trying to work out loopholes for a significant fee.

 

I'd be very surprised is this is upheld, as I would hazard a guess that the powers that be would deem the decision disproportionate and simply increase the compensation sum payable by Chelsea and rescind the ban.  A sensible option would be for Chelsea to pay the potential market value of Kakuta, decided by an independent arbitrator, had he fulfilled his contract and Chelsea bought him at value.

 

 

And for this, I pat myself on the back.
