Roma's transfer embargo, what's the point?

If they are allowed to sign Taddei, Nonda and Kuffour are allowed to move this season before July 1st and then next season they have to wait until after July 1st?

They could still offer contracts before the embargo is lifted so it wouldn't even cause them a penalty trying to pick up next years free transfers.

Surely for the penalty is to have any impact it should exclude them from a summer of buying, there books should contain no new players registered at the club for the new season.

they are banned till 2006 of any transfers

Roma's an easy target, lately, also FIFA like giving the illusion that they're doing something. I doubt a more famous club would have been punished the same way.

Roma are not an easy target. They pulled the same stunt with Chivu i.e. 'signing' and registering a player without an agreement with the other club! Even Chelsea don't pull stunts like that. Roma's President (Sensi) is an idiot and they got what they deserved especially as Mexes sucks arse!

I despise Roma, despise their methods, despise their transfers. But despite ALL that, I think the transfer ban is too harsh.

I can't recall having heard of a punishment like this before. Does anyone know if it's a common method for UEFA?

I don't mind Roma in general, but think the ban is fair provided that it is a part of standard Fifa or Uefa rules. There has to be concequenses for clubs that screw up the sport.

Well is it part of the standard ruling? I havent heard of this kind of ban before, thats the thing. Roma has done indecent stuff with Chivu & Mexes's transfers but I'd thought that fining them or settling the matter in court would solve the problem.

actually many juve fans feel for roma

Many Juve fans want the ban lifted because Juve aren't prepared to offer hard cash to but Cassano but unless Roma get the ban lifted they can't accept swap deals as it would mean registering the new players.

Interesting angle, hadn't thought of this. The lord works in mysterious ways it seems

Didnt Moggi confirm it recently? - Juventus are not going to get Cassano, Roma needs him too much and they're asking too much from us.

Apart from the reasons above, as much as I hate Roma and their organization, they're a talented bunch. It's sad to see such talented players struggling to get out from that terrible club under the captaincy of that horrible, horrible man Totti

I think what they where asking was quite fair, it was about 15m which considering he cost 20m as an 18 year old ins't to bad, players that age should reprsent an investment if they do well, to lose 5m on a 22 year old that has fulfilled his potential is pretty reasonable. However, your right in that Roma need him a lot if they can't bring in any new strikers. They don't have a deep squad as it is.
