Hello Eds,

Hope all is well. There seem to be a few reports of potential transfer bans for clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and the Madrid clubs regarding the signing of youth, but they don't seem well-founded. Are there any truth to these or are they utter nonsense?

{Ed002's Note - It is a little convoluted and rather old news dating back to the Spring. However, FIFA has found two more clubs culpable of abusing the regulations regarding the transfer of minors - both clubs have had two window bans identified as punishment but neither have had the band imposed just yet. One of those clubs offered to voluntarily take a one window ban but that was not accepted. Additionally, a larger number of clubs (double figures) have been identified as potentially falling foul of the same regulations but investigations are now on hold. This larger number does include Arsenal and Chelsea but neither has been asked to defend their position at this time. The only clubs initially investigated were those in the Champions League three years ago - FIFA will have to decide whether to extend the investigation or look to an alternate solution. For now, it should not be a concern for the English sides.}

So I take it the two culpable clubs are Atlético and Real Madrid.
