They are under an embargo.
The embargo was put in place because of the failure to pay the first part of the transfer fee.
Argentine soccer player Sala died in a plane crash while travelling to join his new club.
Mehmet Dalman is confident that the embargo will be lifted before the new year.
The English Football League and world football's governing body, Fifa, are in talks with Cardiff as they attempt to resolve the problem.
I would like to be able to lift the shadow from the club. Dalman said that people at the club wanted this resolved.
There was no need for that accident to happen when a 29-year-old man died.
There is a human side to this story.
The first part of Sala's transfer fee was to be paid byCardiff.
The appeal was heard in Lausanne by a three man panel.
The first part of the money was supposed to be paid to Nantes.
The Swiss Federal Court is expected to make a decision on the case in late January or early February of next year.
There are lots of legal discussions going on and they will continue to go on, but we have received our first invoice from Nantes.
We don't want to pay it until certain negotiations come to fruition.
The EFL will put us under a transfer embargo until January but that is meaningless anyways.
There will be more developments until January. We are doing everything we can to make sure we are able to do business.
Mark Hudson has been told by Dalman that he can't give assurances that the embargo will be lifted by January.
In the summer, the club signed 17 players, but they are only a point above the bottom of the table.
Should fans be concerned that we wont be able to buy anyone in January? Dalman said yes and no
We want to add more players, the manager wants to do that, and we told him to plan accordingly because we think this is temporary.
It is not predictable.
Dalman said that Hudson was understanding but not happy when he heard the news.
He said that he didn't know Mark very well, but that he understood the situation.
He wasn't fond of it. We have told him to make sure his targets are in place.
