Barcelona has received another ban from FIFA

Barcelona is already facing a ban from FIFA as the Spanish outfit is now allowed to sign any new players from the transfer market until January of  2016 but the side of Luis Enrique has now been hit with another blow as Barcelona cant even train their youth players who are less than 18 years old.

The Spanish outfit did manage to find a way sign new players without breaching the ban that FIFA imposed on them and Luis Enrique was able to sign Alex Vidal as well as Arda Turan but neither of those players are able to play a official competitive match for Barcelona until 2016.

‘’La Masia’’ is the name of the football training facilities of Barcelona, it’s what their youth academies is usually called and this latest ban will restrict them as they do not have the same kind of freedom when it comes to developing younger players and turning them into superstars.

Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Lionel Messi are just a few of the world class players that La Masia has produced but this ban will not allow Barcelona to even train their younger players which seriously limits the Spanish club and their ability to continue producing more outstanding performers.

Bury FC is preparing for their challenges in the English League One

Bury FC will be competing in the English League One after earning a promotion spot in the English League Two and David Flitcroft is preparing his squad by releasing some of the deadweight from his team and signing new players.

Leon Clarke was one of the initial signings that Bury FC made as Clarke was signed for on a free transfer after the 30 year old player was released by Wolverhampton Wanderers and has now penned a 3 year long contract with the recently promoted English League One club.

David Flitcroft is attempting to reinforce his team without offloading big cash and Leon Clarke was the 2nd free signing of Bury FC as they had already signed Peter Clarke.

Peter Clarke is a 33 year old defender who made a move from Blackpool over to Bury FC on a free deal who has been the captain of a number of clubs including: Southend United and Blackpool.

Experience is something that David Flitcroft wanted to add into the team and by signing Peter Clarke; the manager feels that he is the ideal signing as Clarke can help out and guide some of his younger teammates not only inside the pitch but outside of it as well.

David Flitcroft again promotes those Ideas

It is often said that only teams with momentum in the business end of the season will be able to achieve promotion.

David Flitcroft has once again backed those ideas by stating that his team remained well placed in order to get promotion, but they should not let their heads drift. The club have been in impeccable form since the middle of February and they have won four matches on the bounce. Ahead of the upcoming home match against Oxford United, Flitcroft remains confident that his team can achieve five wins on the trot.

He has once again reminded fans that it is extremely difficult to achieve the kind of momentum that Bury have built up in the last few weeks. Once it has been established, it is difficult to maintain that run going. Oxford United may be struggling down near the bottom of the table, but this is a potential banana skin for the club. This was the kind of form shown by Bury at the start of the season, but they struggled during the middle part of the campaign. As a result, the prospects of even finishing in the play-offs looked to be in doubt. Now, Bury can even realistically in for an automatic promotion spot.
