Obviously Sanchez is very good but he does give the ball away a lot and is incredibly selfish.
I wonder how much his game will change under Pep.

Reckon he's going off appearances and not minutes.

Ah yes, that would explain it. Cheers.

Can't see us getting any ban, even if CAS agrees with Velez. City got deal approved by FIFA, so if anything FIFA will simply have to clarify their rules, and City may have to give up the rights to the player or pay for him.
City would surely win any appeal, should they be dinged with a ban for this.
Guess we will both find out, even if we both agree that there are many, many people wishing to harm City in any way possible.
This is the final authority I think, so it's likely no appeal rights will exist, and the action is against both Fifa AND City, so I would imagine we can punished in the same way they can.
I honestly can't quite get my head around the case. Either the rules say players aged 16 can move between non-European and European clubs or they don't. I can't imagine Sarsfeld would waste their time and money bringing the case if the rules don't allow for it, but equally City don't seem particularly fazed.

Can CAS hand out punishments ? I thought it was an arbitration thing, that made a judgement that the disagreeing parties adere to. By my thinking it would need to be Fifa that, if found against firstly have to deal with any compensation and any punishment for us would need to be given by Fifa.This is the final authority I think, so it's likely no appeal rights will exist, and the action is against both Fifa AND City, so I would imagine we can punished in the same way they can.

CAS could quite easilly say Fifa was wrong and should chqnge its interpretation of rules, compensate Velez, but take no action against us as we sought their advice.

Back to the subject of this thread, I can't help feeling that Sanchez might be too strong a personality for our squad. He wants the ball all the time and might upset the status quo.
I think Pep is desperate for players who want the ball all the time.Back to the subject of this thread, I can't help feeling that Sanchez might be too strong a personality for our squad. He wants the ball all the time and might upset the status quo.

Why would Guardiola want him if he thought he was too strong a personality? He's coached him before, he knows him well.
Plus, given the status quo isn't good enough, shaking it up would be a good thing.
