FIFA refuses Barcelona
special permission to sign another defender after Thomas Vermaelen has been
ruled out for months due to injury. The imposition which resulted from Barca's
defiance to the rules on international signings of young players, was
reportedly attempted to be boycotted by the club with an emergency signing
under "exceptional situations" in Spanish federation rules. Speaking
about the embargo which takes effect from January to span for a year, the
football governing body told Barcelona that it did not support an exception for
signing players during offseasons.
