Have they said why they've reduced it?

Claim that they are guilty but for only about a third of what FIFA banned them over.

CAS for you though. Ignore repeat offenders and just let elite level clubs do whatever they hell they want. Might as well tear up the rules on transfers not like CAS ever seem to uphold breaches

Any surprises here.

Same as the punishments dished out to clubs for racism.

Far too slack in handing out appropriate punishment and more so, sticking to their decision imo.

Even on the window they were actually banned for they still managed to bring in Pulisic :banghead:

Suspect they’ll buy zaha. A player I’m not convinced they need.

I'm not sure what they really need. They have a good balance, and any big name players they get in will hinder their young players from progressing. So unless they want to throw that away..

They could probably upgrade there. Haven't watched them this season but Alonso has been one of the more consistent left backs the last few years. Chilwell would probably be perfect there...

I think they have a huge chance to get Sancho, for the summer at least.

Alonso has always played better as wing-back in a 3-4-3, he's done alright at full back in a back four but nothing special. Emerson was picked ahead of him early in the season but then got injured., and he isn't exactly top quality either.

Chilwell would be perfect for them (and us, I'd love him for us), but I think and hope he doesn't want to leave Leicester while they're doing so well.

Can't see Chilwell staying if Chelsea are really interested. Bigger club, more money, more likely to keep challenging long-term.

They signed Pulisic in January and were banned in February and Kovacic was already registered on their books because he was on loan. They couldn't register new players but they could make him permanent.

I see they have complain about unfair treatment from UEFA/FIFA when compared to Man City. Fair point IMO. Just shows what is possible when a country is backing you rather than an oil oligarch.
