Barcelona and Cesc Fabregas!

The Arsenal Faction Leader wouldn't be too happy about this. :p

Despite constant denial and pledges of allegiance to the Gunners, Cesc Fabregas is still rumoured to be en route to Camp Nou! :)

And it seems that Arsenal does seem to be open to the sale of the Spanish wizard. As always, anything is possible at the right price. In this case, the "right price" stands at €46 million.

We are however looking at ways around to work this and possibly get a lower price for Cesc. How? By a player plus fee deal. Not just one, but some reports have gone far as saying that two players will be offered to possible reduce Arsenal's asking price.

The two are former English players namely Alexander Hleb and Eidur Gudjohnsen.

We looked to Ribery as a signing but Bayern are being full-time pricks by being unrealistic in the fee demanded for the French winger.

I REALLY hope we bag Fabregas. We're going to need a star signing of our own following Madrid's outrageous recent shopping spree!

First Thing's First: First Touch

When we play futsal, we don't usually think much. It just flows.

The best players in the world do this. They play with instinct. But what most people sometimes fail to realize is that this instinct is harnessed from hours and hours of conscious training on the pithc/court. There are only a handful of players who are born with the natural gift of football.

For the rest of us, there is only one way to get better and that is to train.

And I can pretty much assure you the most important aspect of futsal that deserves utmost priority is the First Touch. A deft first touch sets you up with the best possible chance of beating your marker. A pure first touch makes the difference between an inch of space to shoot or a yard.

A video from Nike here featuring Cesc Fabregas emphasizes the importance of the First Touch.
