Fair Or Unfair? Why To Ban Under 18's Transfers Over Chelsea....

Diving? No Diving? It was the topic for last two weeks.

English media blasted poor Eduardo for diving, but no word was printed against Rooney who dived not once but twice in the same week. I don't want to go beyond that and I just want to ask everyone, are we playing fair? Why criticize one and not the other?

Now attention has shifted to another controversy which involves Chelsea, which was banned for sixteen months by FIFA over a transfer of a Young player, Geal Kakuta, who is at the time being  just sixteen.

People voicing their concern about transfers under the age of eighteen, the latest  to do so  being the Head of the Professional Footballer's Association, Gordon Taylor, speaking to Radio Five Live, said, “There’s been a general feeling that a ban on movement of players under the age of 18 would be better for the game".

Why? Why banning transfers over one wrong doing by Chelsea for that which was  punished may be too harshly but nevertheless was punished. 

Chelsea most of the time,  opted a different way to approach players, they were punished by the FA for a similar offence involving Ashley Cole a few years back, so it is not a new thing for them.

So is it fair? Do under 18s need to suffer because of one club?

As a football lover, I can't see why people are suggesting these things. Are they really thinking about young players who have immense potential put in their locker, who deserve a chance to play in a big league with a big club? Why to stop that? Why to take away that chance? 

Players like Arron Ramsey, Theo Wallcot, Wayne Rooney and even Cesc Fabregas were tied up in when they were sixteen and  did that do any harm to their future. Are they not deserving it?

If you approach the players the right way, if you are paying the right price for them, I can't see anything wrong about under 18 transfers. Every player deserves what best is for him even if he is under 18. But the teams that have brought them up need to get what they deserve. Even in the case of Chelsea, if they have paid for Lens the right price, what they deserve, this issue could have been solved very easily.

Now, it is irrelevant to say most of the big clubs do this and that but lets play fair. If you break the law you will get punished, the same way Eduardo got punished, Chelsea got punished, but the same must go for all, not for one but for all.....
