How have FIFA proven that Chelsea have forced him to leave the club anyway? I doubt the player or his agent have told FIFA. It's going to be the club they got him from probably, it seems FIFA have made a ruling going by one side of the story, the side of the club that are annoyed the've lost a player for little money.

The burdon is and always has been with the accused with FIFA due to the fact the organisation was formed in Paris by a Frenchman and circumstantially they are right, the player had a contract and breached it to join another club, Chelsea didn't have to sign him knowing those circumstances and that's not even mentioning any financial inducements they surely offered.

They have been at it for years and are getting what they deserve, it's too easy for them just to compensate clubs like they have in the past Mikel, Woods, Tawano (sp) and Profit (didn't actually sign IIRC) spring to mind, the latter whom they were actually caught doing on tape I might add.

Glad they are showing teeth now, it just seemed so pointless for clubs like Chelsea to be stealing these kids, most never seem to get near the first teams anyway.

Moving on wonder what'll happen about Pogba, this is a can of worms that needed opening long ago.
