[source]I admittedly don't understand the full technicalities of the transfer ban, but it sure seems like they're trying to weasel their way out of their punishment. I've lost a lot of respect for this club.
In La Liga, a club can have an emergency signing if someone from the squad gets a long term injury or if a player's season is done just like what happened to Real Madrid when Casillas got a hand injury and they bought Diego Lopez in the middle of the season to replace him.
Barca was banned from "registering" players in any competiton last transfer window. The punishment have already expired, therefore Barcelona's appeal is reasonable.
I think you should do some research about La Liga rules and technicalities first so that you will understand the whole situation.
