I for one am not too concerned by this matter tbh, in all likely hood this ban will either be overturned or reduced to 1 transfer window. I am pretty confident that Chelsea had no intention of signing any players in the January window dispite the ACON anyway. So if this does get reduced to 1 window then it shouldnt affect us anyway. The only reason we would need to bring in any players is if we have serios injury concerns, if that is the case then we have many players out on loan that we can recall, ie Di Santo, Stoch, Mancienne, Sinclair to name a few, these would cover the players that leave for the ACON. Lets not forget the signings of Sturridge and Matic who are very promising young players as well as the very strong squad we already have. So I dont really see an issue here. If anything this should worry other big clubs who could face similar punishment who do not have the same squad we do. As take into account the work that is to be by Bruno Di Michaelis who was brought in to specifically reduce the number of injuries we might suffer.

This is a very harsh ban in my opinion so am quite confident that it will be reduced or overturned, however if FIFA or UEFA feel so strongly about the tapping up of young players then perhaps they should look at the way they govern the matter instead of making examples of clubs. As far as I am concerned what Chelsea have done is brilliant business practice and not in anyway violating in laws. But once again the incompetance of FIFA and UEFA mean that we must bear the brunt.

KENYON: NO 'CHILD TRAFFICKING'

Posted on: Tue 08 Sep 2009

Chelsea Football Club chief executive Peter Kenyon has insisted the signing of teenager Gael Kakuta was not 'child trafficking'.

Kenyon was responding to a question that Chelsea FC supported aproposal from UEFA to ban transfers of under 18's through its positionon the European Clubs' Association of which Kenyon is a board member.The ban has been characterized as outlawing 'child trafficking'.

Speaking at the ECA General Assembly in Switzerland today Kenyoninsisted it was important to draw a distinction between the Kakuta caseand the general problem.

He said; 'It was something that happened two years ago that was inno way child trafficking. I think you've got to distinguish between theissues.

'This has been talked about for the last 12 months and we havesigned up fully to the ECA and UEFA's position, along with FIFA's. Weneed to separate our overall position with the specific case. The factwe are appealing tells you our position. We deny any wrongdoing.'

The Chelsea chief executive added that Kakuta, now 18, had also beenstunned by FIFA's decision that Chelsea had acted outside the rules inthe transfer. He also said that the other European clubs were 'shocked'at the decision.

He added: 'He wants to play his profession, which is football. Weneed to take account for that and understand this is something thathappened two years ago, and make sure we've got enough support aroundhim to ensure he's fully supported at a difficult time.'

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is confident thetransfer ban imposed on the club will not affect their Premier Leagueambitions in the short term.

World governing body Fifa recently found Chelsea guilty of inducing Gael Kakuta to break his contract with Lens.

"The transfer embargo is not a problem because we have a good team and very good players," said Ancelotti.

"The club are appealing and we have to wait for a good result for us. We hope that they overturn the decision."

Chelsea,who cannot sign any new players during the next two transfer windows,tied several key players to long-term contracts in the summer and thisis one of the main reasons the Italian remains optimistic, even if Fifawas to uphold the ban.

Captain John Terry and defender AshleyCole signed new deals just a few days before Fifa banned the PremierLeague outfit while Didier Drogba, John Mikel Obi and Florent Maloudahave also signed extensions at Stamford Bridge recently.

"We don't need other players," Ancelotti said.

"In the future, it may be a problem but we have to wait for Fifa to maybe reverse the decision.

"To have John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba with this club for the next years is very important."

Ancelotti'sspending over the summer was tame in comparison with other ChampionsLeague clubs, the £18m capture of Yuri Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow beingthe only major addition to his squad.

However, the Russiamidfielder has missed the start of the season through injury, and therehad been speculation that he might need surgery on his knee which wouldkeep him out for the rest of the season.

With Ancelotti unableto add to his squad in January, the long-term loss of Zhrikov wouldpose a major irritation but the Italian is not overly concerned.

"At the moment, we don't think he needs surgery," said Ancelotti.

"He's working with the team. Yesterday he worked with us.

"We have to control the situation. For the moment, he's not very well but he is improving.

"Next week we have to control his body. If he has improved, he can start to play matches again.

"He didn't play with the national team because he's not fit now, but he is improving. At the moment, he doesn't need surgery."

Acore of English players still form the backbone of the Chelsea sideincluding Lampard, Terry and Cole and, having seen his players helpEngland qualify for the 2010 World Cup with their 5-1 demolition ofCroatia on Wednesday, Ancelotti tipped them for success in South Africanext summer.

"Congratulations to the England team forqualifying and also to Fabio Capello who has done a very good job thistime and will do a good job again in the World Cup," he said.

"Iwatched England against Slovenia and also against Croatia. I think theEngland team has great players in the squad, a great organisation, andare one of the favourites to win the World Cup. I think they can winit."

Well I'm glad that Carlo believes that Chelsea are strong without signing players for two transfer windows. However, what I am questioning, is what kind of manager will we see in Carlo now. Can he keep away from injuries and a possible exodus of top players?
