Just a note, the ban is on registering players, not signing them. Barca bought two players when their ban was on, they just couldn't play them. So Madrid could buy someone say, next January, then play them in February when the ban is up no?

 

EDIT:

Fifa has banned Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid from registering new signings for the next two transfer windows as punishment for breaching its rules on the international transfer and registration of players aged under 18.

The ban does not affect the current window and does not prevent players leaving either club but means after this month neither Real nor Atlético will be able to register any new players until the summer of 2017.

 

Ok answered my own question.

Saw a picture of Hazard on his phone during the match yesterday, his phone cover is a picture of his child in a Chelsea shirt, hoping that and the transfer bans is a good chance he'll be staying.

where would hazard fit in their first team if they signed him this window? 

Keep him at all costs. I don't think we could attract a player his ability as things stand. I was on the fence a couple of weeks ago, but I can't help but think it would be a massive mistake to let him go.

Now that Madrid is transfer banned, we still have him for another season. Unless Bayern come sniffing around. 

They can still bid for him in this January transfer window. Quite a few sources are saying an 80 million bid is impending.

80 million and I'd sell if someone like Bale was available(that's £'s).

If not then there's no point as we would only end up with Cuadrado's and the likes.

£80M doesn't even buy his left leg let alone his right.

Yep, you just have to look at what happened to Liverpool and Spurs after they sold their most valuable players. The players that came in were not good enough and it took years for them to recover.

I'm pretty sure the club won't let that happen to us.

We are in complete control of this. Real Madrid will be desperate now and if they want him, they are going to have to spend insane amounts of money to get him. Money isn't enough for me though, it's money plus Bale or it should be no deal in my opinion. 

£80m cash up front in used twenties, and Bale delivered to Heathrow terminal 1 for July 1st 2016.

 

Don't choke on your Paella !

is it just me, or does he looked even more chubbier?

that madrid ban taking a toll on him

Looked good today.

 

Perhaps that few weeks off will prove to be a good rest.

I agree, got a little belly on him now. All that Tapas he's been tucking into ready for his big move

Wonder what those who said he clearly wants to leave, make of him kissing the badge today. Looks as committed as ever to me.

People made assumptions about him because he was having a bad season but I have always maintained he was committed to us when he signed for us he had the rest of Europe Elite the choose from but he choose us. Unfortunately under Jose he was not happy he wasn't getting the freedom to express his creative ability which is clearly evident now by all the creative players performing vastly better. He's not leaving anytime soon.

That's the cliche though. As soon as a player kisses the badge they are normally sold off in the next transfer window.

Kissing the badge means he loves the fans and the club. Has nothing to do with him staying or leaving though.

Nah not Hazard

Yeah but people were sighting his body language as proof of him wanting move.

I'm not saying him kissing the badge means he's staying. But I'm just wondering what the body language experts make it now.

These body language experts seems to know more about what Hazard wants than hazard himself. It's no secret we know why he was unhappy.. Now that reason is gone you can see a completely different person.

Kissing the badge was a surprise. Hope that goal kicks him on until the end of the season!!

Interesting how he says he's a human being not a machine. Has he been showing signs of burnout perhaps? Maybe his late sub appearance on Wednesday is to ease back gently with the cups in mind.
