LRD Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Blatter backs FIFA over Barca youth bans Sepp Blatter has backed the FIFA youth transfer regulations under which six Barcelona youth players are suspended from competitive action. In late February, FIFA extended a ban on Korean Lee Seung Woo, of Barca's Cadete B side, to five other youngsters across the club's youth teams. The decision means Koreans Paik Seung-Ho (Cadete A) and Jang Gyeolhee (Cadete B), French youngster Theo Chendri (Cadete A), Nigerian-Dutchman Bobby Adekanye (Infantil A) and Cameroonian Patrice Sousia (Infantil A) are training with their teams but unable to play in competitive games. FIFA only sanctions international youth transfers when one of the three following situations apply: the player's parents have moved country for their own, non-related reasons; the move takes place within the European Union if a player is aged between 16 and 18; or the player's home is less than 50 kilometres from the national border being crossed. FIFA president Blatter told AS the relevant committee was currently studying the case, but suggested no exceptions were likely to be made. "The Barca case will be studied by FIFA's Players' Status Committee," Blatter said. "But the rules for the signing of minors are very clear." Such rules would have stopped Barcelona signing Lionel Messi from Argentina aged 13, and the Catalan club have widened their scouting net in recent years to bring in potential stars from all over the world. Mundo Deportivo reported that blaugrana director Raul Sanllehi was discussing the situation with FIFA. Barca claim it is unfair to apply the regulations stringently across the board because all trainees at their La Masia facility are well looked after and guaranteed an overall education and football development up to the age of 18. Blatter said the rules were in place to protect youngsters from unscrupulous clubs and agents and stressed that FIFA must be strong on the matter. "The popularity of football also brings some dangers," he said. "The financial success of our sport makes it, unfortunately, of interest to international mafias, who get rich due to illicit activities like match-fixing or tricking underprivileged kids with false promises of a professional career in Europe." Could well have strong implications for Barca and La Masia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 As the article says, we have only started signing foreign youth players very recently. Messi is the only foreign Masía product in our squad and he was a big exception to our policy at the time. I'm happy with that, I'm not too fond of uprooting young kids with vague dreams of a footballing career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 "The sun certainly wasn’t shining on the 36 Barnet fans who took the supporters’ coach up to Accrington on Saturday. Already contemplating a 3-2 defeat and potential relegation on the 215 mile journey home, to make matters worse their coach broke down on the M6. Yet the brave Barnet supporters were saved by an unlikely hero – their player-manager Edgar Davids. For when the Barnet team coach passed the stranded fans shivering on the hard shoulder for a replacement, Davids ordered the driver to stop at the next service station and told his players to disembark. The former Champions League winner, who had earlier been dismissed after two bookings, then sent the team coach back up the M6 to collect the Barnet supporters and bring them to the service station where he bought them coffee while they waited."

Dokko Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 they were third when Kean left Hilarious when you think about it. Venkys have done a brilliant job turning a stable premiership club in to a league one disaster while not putting them in it financially. Anyone can bankrupt a club, but to do what they've done while spending money takes a whole new level of crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
