Summer Transfer Window 2011, We've got arab money! Options

[Orange_Hitman]

This thread is to discuss PSG's activity in this summer transfer window.

A brief summary :

Players Sold : Edel (GK, Maccabi), Coupet (GK, Retired), Traore (DC, Free Agent), Makonda (DL/ML, Brest), Makelele (DMC, Retired), Clement (DMC, Saint-Etienne), Sankharé (MC, Dijon), Giuly (MR/FC, Free Agent).

Players Bought : Douchez (GK, Rennes), Sirigu (GK, Palermo), Bisevac (DC, Valenciennes), Matuidi (DMC, Saint-Etienne), Sissokho (DMC/MC, Juventus), Menez (AMR, AS Roma), Pastore (AMC, Palermo), Gameiro (ST, Lorient).

As you can see the focus on this year's transfer window was to fill the gap in the squad caused by a lot of players reaching the end of their contracts or going in to retirement. However, we also managed to grab the signings of none other than the great Argentinian hot prospect Javier Pastore from Palermo, and the ever so lethal up and coming striker Gameiro from Lorient. ()

Most French fans believe that we still need one Left back since Siaka Tiene, most probably the weakest link in the starting 11, will be called up to the African Nations Cup in January without any suitable replacement.

A good all-around midfielder is also welcome to add some depth to the squad, in case some serious injuries occur to Nene or Menez. However JC Bahebeck and Kebano have shown some promise in last year's season and in this summer's test matches and may be up to the task if need be.

In what area do you think we still need to reinforce our squad or do you believe that with the signing of Pastore we would have what it takes, in both depth and quality, to be successful in capturing the Ligue 1 title and compete in both domestic and international cups ?

I hope to see at least 2 more players : one full-back (LB) and an attacking midfielder like Zarate who can play in several positions.

With these two players up in our squad, I think it will be enough to launch our season and fight in every competition (cups and league 1). QSI won’t appreciate if we ditch one of theses cups ..

I’d like to see guys like Hoarau or Bodmer try to win their place in the XI and put the pressure one their team-mates. With a good team spirit, we may dream to realize a great season.
