    Barcelona's summer deals:
    Claudio Bravo – £9m
    Ivan Rakitic – £15m
    Luis Suarez – £75m
    Jeremy Mathieu – £15m
    Thomas Vermaelen – £15m
    Ter Stegen – £10m
    TOTAL: £139m

    Firstly where is FFP in all of this..?
    Have they actually sold anyone to make up any form of the money theyve spent...?

    And now there appeal for the transfer embargo has been rejected...meaning they can't sign anyone until 2015 apparently (even though the ban was for 2 years...) EVEN though they have already brought 2 good goalkeepers, 2 good defenders and 2 world class attacking players in...

    And they say Football isnt corrupt

    Anybody who didn't see that a mile off needs their head checked... is that their whole punishment for the Neymar farce? Trust me if that was an English club they'd be looking at relegation and a European ban for 5 years.

    Barca are FIFA's pet club, they're as corrupt as the official ****ers running FIFA, I hate that club with a passion.

    Was obvious it was gonna happen mate

    But is it not at the point now where we shouldnt be allowing it to happen

    As basically it just means any clubs that Fifa like can waltz around the rules and not give a ****

    It seems any time that an 'investigation' takes place, the prosecution are just bunged a load of money to shut the hell up.

    This 'enquiry into Fifa' would blow the whole thing open, but Fifa have said only the final outcome will be allowed to be in the media... meaning once they've bunged the cash to the investigator and covered up the story, they'll say it was all a big mistake.

    Blatter is a cancer on the game, the money in the game is absolutely astonishing and he's taking far too much and getting away with it.

    Clubs like Barcelona can do no wrong, they raise the profile of the game and bring in even more money... it's disgusting.

    A FIFA committee has upheld the transfer ban placed on Barcelona, which means the La Liga giants will be unable to bring in new players between this September and January 2016. A FIFA statement read:
    FC Barcelona is to serve a transfer ban which will see the club prevented from registering any players at both national and international level for two complete and consecutive transfer periods, starting with the next registration period (January 2015)

    Plenty of time to prepare.

    89m will be a fraction of what they earn from sponsorship and shirt sales and what not. Like Man U, they're not a football club, they're a global super brand.

    They managed to pay off 44m euros of debt and turn over 44m euros profit as well, so that figure of 89m is there or thereabouts for their next forecast figures. Their spending seems legit but the whole point was they were supposed to be banned, the appeal has given them a loophole. Well done Sepp <doh>

    People crying about United as well on Sky Sports saying we've spent more than everyone apart from PSG on net transfers over 5 windows... so f**? We're about to become the most cash rich, legitimately run club on the planet, without sugar daddies, what else are we gonna spend the profits on?

    Agree on the banning thing. Something smells rotten in Denmark.

    I've never had a problem with Man U's spending. It's a re-brand that'd been building since 1986, almost 30 years in the making. Anyone who slags that of are just jealous. That's the difference between Citih and United. People are genuinely and justly angry at the way that club is run and what it's doing to English Football, where as with United, it's almost entirely jealousy.

    Denmark?

    Yeah I think we've earned our spot by employing the right people to brand the club and exploit the right areas. I fully understand why it feels so good to watch us on our knees, I just don't entertain the thought that we won't get back up.

    So they can go out and spend about £200 m anyhow. And if they give us Messi that will just about square their ins/outs !.
