Chelsea said Thursday they would “mount the strongest appeal possible” against FIFA’s decision to ban them from making any signings during the next two transfer windows.

“The sanctions are without precedent to this level and totally disproportionate to the alleged offence and the financial penalty imposed,” the club said in a statement.

Chelsea said it could not comment further until it had received a written explanation of the FIFA ruling over the club’s alleged ‘tapping up’ of French youngster Gael Kakuta when he was still playing for Lens.

    Is Platini going nuts because Chelsea try to tap up french youngster. Seriously what the fuck is going on? Why Platini don’t ban real madrid for inflating transfer market and make la liga two horse race. At least in England you need to have work permit to play soccer what about other leagues and all the tap up happened in last decade. Seriously, get a life and make a fair punishment for fuck sake. The discrimation from this organization is sickening and retarded.

    This is going to cause big problem for Chelsea if this decission should remain. The club will not sign any players and most of the players will leave hampering the club. Please FIFA consider your decission.

    FIFA should know that there had been cases of tapping up in the past but none attracted such a level of punishment. It would be unjustifiable at best if the world soccer governing body goes ahead to do this level of damage to chelsea football club
