Chelsea have won their appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and can now sign players from January.

That'll start another round of inflation on transfer fees no doubt.

Their young ones have come on great while they couldn't sign anyone, step backwards for them if they just spend, spend, spend now.

I'm not sure that helps Frank Lampard.

The ban meant reduced expectation and pressure so that he could play the kids.

Now regular service has been resumed I'd not be surprised to see that change.

On a more personal note, it may give them even more reason to offload DD.

They must have received a delivery of new, extra large, brown envelopes.

given the scale of the illegal activity it should have been extended - but this judgement comes as no surprise

Palms were no doubt appropriately massaged with roubles
Another gutless rollover by the football authorities
Chelsea have been instrumental in driving up transfer fees by paying out a fortune on unproven talent and paying reserves astronomical wages
Paying Abraham £50,000 a week a case in point

Absolutely it should have been extended.
