Suarez - banned for 4 months (page 74)

[without a dream]

I'm looking forward to watching barca next season. Suarez is one of the best players in the world and pure entertainment.

I am not sure it's going to work that well. All three are fantastic players, but there is not much balance between the three and all of them like to be the main star. Suarez, Neymar and Messi will all like to on dribbles. The three also lack a bit of physical presence. Of course they are such fantastic players they should have great moments, but don't think the whole will be worth more than the sum of the individual parts.

Neymar was shite for them every time I saw them last season, ruins the style of play completely.

They're all too greedy, they'll have their moments of magic as all great players do but I can't see it being harmonious for long.

A season to get his Teeth into the Barca way then season after next it's Messi to us.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has told Goal that the Barcelona striker's four-month ban for biting could be repealed, although his international suspension would still stand

EXCLUSIVE
By Pilar Suarez

Luis Suarez could have his four-month ban for biting reduced, allowing the Barcelona striker to play in the club's first La Liga game of the 2014-15 season.

The 27-year-old was handed a nine-match international ban and was suspended for four months from "any football-related activities" by Fifa in June after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during a World Cup group stage match in Brazil.

After having an initial appeal against the punishment rejected by football's world governing body, Suarez ultimately completed an €88 million move to Barcelona - though the Catalan giants were unable to formally present their new acquisition because of the ban.

Barcelona decided to take an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after the player's lawyer described the punishment as "draconian, totalitarian and fascist".

And a source from CAS has now told Goal that, while Suarez's ban from international football will remain in place, his four-month suspension is likely to be reduced – meaning that he will be able to begin the new Primera Liga campaign for Barca.

"Now that the case has arrived at CAS, it is very likely that we will reduce the penalty," the source confirmed.

"The ban would only apply to the Uruguay national team and not to Barcelona."

Arbitrators at CAS are believed to agree with the consensus at Barcelona that Fifa's overall sanction against Suarez is excessive.

Under the terms of the suspension, the Uruguay star is unable to train with his new team-mates and cannot step foot inside Camp Nou.

Suarez apologised for his actions following the incident in Brazil, which also resulted in the player being fined 100,000 Swiss Francs (€82,000) by Fifa.

So, from a transfer ban on the club and a ban on its most expensive (?) acquisition to no ban on either. Uefalona indeed

Bent as fuck mate but nothing we didn't know already.

Its all this behind the scenes 'cheating' , allowing some teams to do what they want and treating others like shit which will eventually turn most people off from football its all about greed.

You could say 'Football will eat itself'.

This transfer ban must really be hurting Barcelona. :-?

Unlike our FFPR fine and spending cap, that hasn't affected us at all.
