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 ?

Sounds like the Berbatov rumor is picking up again

What do you guys think? This would pretty much ruin Hoarau's future here, as I see him as a poor man's Berbatov. I am not a Guillaume fan so I don't mind that.
What bothers me more is I don't see how you play Gameiro-Pastore-Nene- and Berbatov together. Gameiro Berbatov and Pastore would naturally fit in a 4-4-2 diamond (which is probably Leonardo's favorite formation given he was in Milan all these years when they played like this for Kaka), but then where does Nene go? As far as I know he is still our best player so there is no way he goes to the bench.
A 4-4-2 with Pastore opposite Nene on the right side? maybe... I don't know the Argentinian well enough
