      What?! There was nothing wrong with the Zenden transfer, he was out of contract.

      There are suggestions now that we could face a transfer ban, although there appears to be confusion as to whether this would affect the academy or the club as a whole.

      If we get a transfer ban then the same best apply to Man City, Chelsea and every f**ker else in the league. As if we're the only ones doing this.

      Read it would only apply to the academy, hopefully that is the case or we can forget about next season already.

      It would apply only to academy even if we are charged with something that every other club in the world does. Maybe a blessing in disguise as the current academy stars can get more attention and time to prove themselves.

      SSN reporting that LFC have been banned from signing Academy players for two years with the 2nd year of the ban suspended. I don't know if it also applies to foreign Academy players.

      Couldn't care less to be honest, I am fed up of signing potential anyway. I just want players that can walk into our first team. I am just glad the ban is academy only.

      We spend a lot on academy players that don't materialize anyway. If we really want to sign academy players we can just get them from outside domestic football as BBC are reporting "Liverpool will be banned from signing any academy players who have been registered with a Premier League or EFL club in the previous 18 months." I can't imagine FA will be happy forcing teams to get academy players from outside PL and EFL.

      Not good but let's see if the likes of City get treated the same!

      It's actually a 12 month ban with the second year suspended but doesnt stop us buying youngsters from abroad.

      We deserve punishment for this.

      Hope this is the kind of thing the league will crack down on.

      Good. Good for English football, good for Liverpool FC long-term.

      The amount of top PL clubs that are stock-piling kids just for the sake of it is stupid. To think our club is doing anything shady is embarrassing, and anyone who says anything like "this is modern football" you can f*ck right off because we should be above all that.

      If we're not, as it seems, then shame on us. Add this to the long pile of shitty antics that's gone on behind the scenes at LFC.

      Probably the academy staff and scouting teams who spend a lot of time and energy trying to improve this Football Club!

      As for the ban and punishment it seems fair to me and I only hope that the family In question were compensated in some way!
