the wes 7,212 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Chelseaface a second legal threat over allegations of poaching young players,this time concerning the move of an 11-year-old to Stamford Bridge.ASPTT Marseille, the French club who saw Jérémy Boga switch to westLondon last October, are consulting lawyers over whether to make afresh complaint to Fifa.FollowingFifa's imposition of a transfer ban until January 2011 over Chelsea'sillegal recruitment of the teenage forward Gaël Kakuta from Lens, ASPTTMarseille will take legal advice on Tuesday to discuss the case ofBoga, who had spent five years with the amateur team.RobertCaturégli, the chairman of the Marseille club's football division,claims Chelsea pushed through the transfer by arranging accommodationand a car for the player's parents.Caturégli alleges that Lyon,Marseille and Bordeaux took an interest in Boga's development but thatthe youngster's father, who had previously split from his wife andmoved to London, made contact with English clubs about the possibletransfer.Chelsea are understood to have been told that the childalready intended to move to London to live with his father, who wassaid to be living within Chelsea's catchment area. The club do notconsider they have broken any rules over the move. Since Boga was underthe age of 12 there was no requirement for the club to seekinternational clearance."The player is so gifted the threebiggest clubs in France wanted him," said Caturégli. "But Chelsea founda solution of taking the whole family: the mum, the two brothers and tokeep them in a house in Wimbledon. The mum has a car to take the kidsto school and to training or whatever. He was in our Under-12s team andwe're just a youth development club. He didn't have a contract so wefelt we couldn't go to Fifa."But if the family were getting backtogether they could have done so at Marseille and the boy has beentaken to England at a very young age. It's sure that Chelsea didn'treunite the family for sentimental reasons. We're prisoners of thesebig clubs who purloin our players. Chelsea did not give us even onesingle football."ASPTT will ask lawyers whether thecircumstances of the move are in contravention of Fifa's Article 19,governing international transfers involving minors. That states:"International transfers of players are only permitted if the player isover the age of 18," adding that a child may only register with aforeign club if "the player's parents move to the country in which thenew club is located for reasons not linked to football".Chelsea,who are appealing against Fifa's Kakuta ruling, refused to comment.However, if Caturégli's claims are true, he would have the sympathy ofUefa's president, Michel Platini, who is a Fifa vice-president. "Whenyou uproot [a child] from their home environment, when you make thememotionally disorientated, I call that child trafficking," said Platiniin a speech to the European parliament in February.Chelsea havelong insisted that their policy for youth player recruitment is basedaround London, in accordance with Football Association regulations.Setting out his role as "a headhunter around the world" at a Leaders inFootball conference last year, Chelsea's head of player recruitment,Frank Arnesen, explained self-imposed age limits on overseasacquisitions."London is our first aim for seven to12-year-olds," said Arnesen. "At 12-14 we go a little bit further butstill London, for 14-16 it's around the UK and at 16-18 it's theEuropean Union. At 18-plus, it's the rest of the world."Chelsea'scaptain, John Terry, yesterday spoke of his "shock" at the Fifadecision over Kakuta. "It was a big shock to me," said the Englandcaptain. "But the club have reiterated that I can't speak about it asthey are appealing very strongly."www.guardian.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Either way, we still have the squad to win trophies both this season and next. I am very confident the ban will be reduced, as it was from Roma - if it isn't, it's totally unfair and will confirm the anti-Chelsea agenda shared by UEFA and FIFA, in which case, Chelsea should boycott European competition IMO.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 As far as I'm concerned, whilst Arnesen picks up his £50,000 a week wage-packet, its the academy coaches who develop these players, not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Frankly I think FIFA have got it wrong. Kakuta did not have a legally binding contract with Lens, simple as that. FIFA are trying to say that it is legal in the world of football because they want to protect youngsters and the clubs that develop them, but that doesn't change the fact that actually, Kakuta's contract at the time was a pre-contract agreement and nothing more.
