and more to come

By: j | July 21st, 2008

It doesn’t stop at Claude Makélélé’s arrival today as William Gallas, formerly of Caen, l’OM, Chelsea and now Arsenal is quite openly on the agenda of Paul Le Guen. There has been no formal contact as of yet but when questioned today of French International, Charles Villeneuve, wryly smiled that while he has not heard from him he would wait and welcome his phone-call.

With further discussion of another major signing on the horizon, rumours swirling of another Striker being signed with the names of Jimmy Briand, Ricardo Oliveira and yes, even Juventus sharpshooter David Trézéguet being mentioned as the main target. This is surely to be a very busy month.

  Yeah a real revolution in Paris! Its like 68 all over again.

  Gallas would be quite a signing for PSG, I guess I don’t really see it happening, but it would be a great signing if it did.

  If all these signings actually materialize I would make PSG a contender for uefa cup after Milan of course.

  My question is, who do you think is in charge of PSG’s recruitment this summer, CV or Le Guen? Because Le Guen is notoriously bad when it comes to transfers, and I’d feel safer as a PSG fan if this was coming from CV.

  Also, Giuly, Makelele, Thuram, even Gallas might be old washed up players, but lack of experience is what’s been hurting PSG in the past. They have a lot of young talented players, but very few who have played on the biggest stages.

  Inara - everything I’ve seen is that this is the directive of the upper level ownership group and a style of their management but they are staying out of the press. Sébastien Bazin spearheaded the signing of Claude Makélélé as well as Ludovic Giuly, encouraged other investments (i.e. Clairefontaine) and is making sure the younger talent isn’t lost. This is just the start to some very major fundamental changes to the club.

  Inara, Charles Villeneuve doesn’t know anything in terms of football. He was the sports chief at TF1 because he was historic at that channel and they did’nt want to fire him. They pulled him from entertainment to go to sports where he only had one magazine, les bleus games and a chhampions league game a week. Compared to Canal+, hardly a gig.
  Le Guen may not be good but Villeneuve has Arsene Wenger, a great friend of his in his corner giving him advice so we’ll see.
