    10 Most Expensive Football Transfers in Summer 2012

    Who would have guessed three years ago that Paris Saint-Germain will have three players in the top 10 most expensive signings of the 2012 summer transfer window? Despite big names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robin van Persie and Eden Hazard, the most expensive deal was to get Thiago Silva of AC Milan.

  • PSG – Not the Start Everyone Expected

    Two matches into the 2012-2013 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain are undefeated, but still win-less, finishing their visit to Ajaccio in a 0-0 draw while losing both Ezequiel Lavezzi (after a two footed challenge) and Carlo Ancelotti to red cards in another disappointing outing.

  • 6 Teams That Must Win the League Title in 2012-2013

    Another year, and more managers, or sometimes the same names, on the hot seat. Not winning a title for any of the big clubs in any leagues never goes down so well, but in 2012-2013, the pressure is mostly on the men running Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

  • Zlatan Ibrahimovic Debut – Perfect; PSG’s? Not so Much

    Putting money on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to finish 2012-2013 as the top scorer and player of the season in France is an easy decision to make. He began his Ligue 1 career by scoring twice to save PSG from an opening day defeat at home against Lorient, which might show that PSG won’t have it as easy, at least in the early goings, as most have predicted.

  • Manchester United – Still Chasing Robin van Persie

    It’s been relatively quiet on the Van Persie front in recent days. He never announced anything, but the Dutch striker seems to be happy with the way things are going in Arsenal and their signings (and future ones) this summer, which hasn’t stopped Manchester United from trying to sign the Premier League’s top scorer last season.

  • Lucas Moura – Going to Manchester United or PSG?

    It all depends on where you get your news from. In Europe, and especially the United Kingdom, it’s all about how Manchester United have finally taken care of business and are on the verge of signing Lucas Moura from Sao Paulo for £30 million. According to reports from France and Brazil, the 19 year old prefers to play for Paris Saint-Germain, who have also agreed on the terms with the Brazilian club.

  • Lionel Messi and friends testing the New Mega Club (Barcelona vs PSG)

    While Barcelona aren’t at full capacity yet, with Tito Vilanova still trying and tweaking things in his lineup, PSG are up and running with their strongest possible starting XI. After making a few big changes and maybe still yet to come, with the ambitions they have, there’s no use in gradually trying to blend the new players.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Ashley Cole Wants PSG Money

    What Ashley Cole has earned up to this point in his career playing for Chelsea and Arsenal hasn’t been enough. With one year remaining on his contract with the European champions, it’s rumored that the England left back is looking for PSG to come up with a mega contract he thinks he deserves for the final substantial part of his career.

  • Arsenal – Arsene Wenger Doesn’t Like Chelsea, PSG and Manchester City Spending More than him

    This is why Arsenal directors are so in love with Arsene Wenger – He’s about the money, about saving money, about making money. He’s not about signing players for mega-bucks, like other clubs he loathes and envies all at once, like Chelsea, Manchester City and lately PSG. He’s about turning in a profit, but that hasn’t really helped him and Arsenal win anything for quite some time.

  • PSG – The Cost of Building the Current Squad

    The biggest spenders in European football over the last couple of summers have seen a new team join them – Paris Saint Germain, following their failure to win the French Ligue 1 title with more money being thrown away at Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Marco Verratti, aspiring also towards Champions League success.
