Arshavin, Adebayor and Arsene

Blardy Emmanuel Adebayor looks set to leave us this summer to join Manchester City for a reported fee of £25 million after passing a medical with the Citizens and also being granted a work permit a couple days ago. They are still in discussions to finalize terms but the fact remains that a deal is still yet to be concluded.

Our potential talisman, Andrei Arshavin however couldn't be further away from jamming on the alarm button.

"He is an excellent striker. Everybody knows him. He can score from nothing. But it's his decision. If he wants to stay or he wants to leave."

A very calm response from Arshavin if I may add.

Adebayor's departure will most certainly affect Arsenal's attacking prowess (although we have Van Persie!) but when quizzed about this predicament, Arshavin again provided a cool response,

"I think it's not my question. We have Arsene. He knows everything. He knows that if we need someone Arsenal will buy."

Spot on, boy. Spot on.

afeeqnadzrin8@FindFutsaLMsia Man Utd showed us the beauty of football during the 08/09 season. Look at the mentality each player had. Vidic,Ferdinand etc

afeeqnadzrin8@FindFutsaLMsia Man Utd will win their 4th Premier League in the 09/10 season because of the passion these players have.

afeeqnadzrin8@FindFutsaLMsia People assume that just because Ronaldo left, they'll lose the title but honestly, they won't.

weiLeecheok@findfutsalmsia I do not know why but i know the players are HAWT! =)

Izzuddin1990@FindFutsaLMsia because the red devils burn rhe ground they step on none can stand a chance haha

vicjamm@FindFutsaLMsia cause I believe Ronaldo don't make any difference and we have won it with him.

zique@FindFutsaLMsia Man Utd, Premier League Champions 2009/2010. What a nice ring to it. No other team in the modern era deserve the title.

Let's all enjoy the Manchester United vs Malaysia XI match on Saturday at Bukit Jalil!

David Villa Not Likely To Join Barcelona

Aww man, looks like we won't be seeing David Villa become a Catalan this summer.

Joan Laporta insists that we won't be breaking the bank with a €43 million price tag on the prolific forward from Valencia.

I understand that we're still looking to sign a forward, a striker and a defender but so far, nothing yet.

Diego Forlan is considered an option but I don't think that will happen either.

Nonetheless, we'll still kick Madrid's sorry butt and win the La Liga anyway.

Malaysia XI To Warm Up For Manchester United Against Zimbabwe

Manchester United's arrival to Malaysian shores draws nearer and nearer and I can barely contain myself!

I'm actually really proud of the fact that our national team will have the opportunity to face the most devastating teams in the world in front of a jam-packed arena at Bukit Jalil this 18th of July 2009.

I would kill (well not literally. Actually.... :P) for a chance to play against the Red Devils. Who knows what the players are going through and the sort of preparation that is in call ahead of such a monumental occaision for the Malaysian Tigers.

One thing we do know is that the national squad will be facing Zimbabwe in two test matches today at the Kuala Lumpur Stadium and on the 14th 0f July 2009 at Stadium Shah Alam.

K. Rajagopal, the national team head coach noted that the Tigers were initially scheduled to play Syria instead of Zimbabwe. Not too sure why it was changed though.

In terms of "familiar" faces on the national squad, only four will be present namely ndra Putra Mahayuddin, Amri Yahyah, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah and V. Thirumurugan.

As far as team selection is concerned, Rajagopal noted that no one is guaranteed a place and he will use the two matches against Zimbabwe to choose his starting 11.

Good luck Malaysia!

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!
