It may not be an exaggeration to say that the football world has been rocked by the news of Chelsea's year-long transfer embargo, imposed on the club by FIFA after the Blues were found guilty of acting improperly in their acquisition of young French midfielder Gael Kakuta.
On top of the ban, which will last for two transfer windows and mean the next opportunity for the club to sign new players will be in January 2011, the club have been ordered to pay compensation to Kakuta's former club, RC Lens, totalling around $186,000.
