Paris saint germain is the most valuable club in French league.They have enough transfer budget.This season they bought Zlatan, Silva from Milan, Lavezzi from Napoili,All these are so much big budget project.For this season it seems that Zlatan is the main part of this team.He scores frequently for this club.Silva is doing well his defense work.Moreover the team have many players to dominate the matches like Pastore,Menez,Nene.

Hi,i was a striker,part time professional,always scoring goals however i did not have the stamina to chase fullbacks taking off down the line or racing back to help the goalkeeper keep a corner out.some of my team mates used to mutter about my lack of willingness to run back and offer my services as a defender however they never complained when i repeatedly won the game with the goals I scored .There are horses for courses and suffering a players lack of interest in wasting his energy to save it for the business part of the game is something that critics find hard to come to terms with.There are players who have the athleticism to run all day and compete and challenge with the best of them but could not score a goal even at training.The players who can manage both jobs are few and far between and are revered by the games fans including me.

Great article Pinto,

However those who think that PSG will win anything on the international stage are truly out of whack. This team comes from a league that has lower attendances than MLS!!! Really ? Second of all when you are recruiting players at such a high velocity that they will win right away. One major problem Ancelotti is going to have is controlling the egos. We know all to well that Ibrahimovic has a ridiculous ego which is uncontrollable and he isn't as great of a player as many think. Yes he won plenty of titles yet he never won the golden ball nor will he ever especially now that he's playing in a weak league. Ibrahimovic has shows us that he cannot handle big leagues (Spanish League) and that he only does well is weaker ones such as Serie A and now League 1. Italian football has become weak because of how poor the country has become and no one wants to invest. PSG are going to be the only team in France capable of winning everything but the fact that they think they can win everything will cause them to stutter and fail just like Malaga ( Now they have to sell their best players and pay millions in wages.) PSG has ruined football as a whole with their reckless spending on Lavezzi, Silva, Ibra, and now Lucas Moura (Who was favored for United and Inter, seriously kid you chose PSG over historical clubs ?) In my opinion these players will soon realize that League 1 is weak and will ask to leave in two years time. As they have always said you can buy talent but you cant buy class. Teams such as United, Barcelona, Milan, Inter, Madrid have had for decades.

This story is probably the worst ive seen this suemmr of transfer gossip lunacy. It simply is as plausible as Ibrama going to SouthendA) spurs have one of the strictest wage structures in the prem & their maximum is relatively low which kills this move totally considering Ibrama is one of the best paid players in the lower tax regime of Spain.B) Why on earth would Barca sell Ibrama for only 25m one year after giving away Eto plus c40m for the Swede?!

It's really sad to read about an underperforming Ibra from someone who clearly didn't watch a game this star played. This is a mantra previously repeated mainly by british football fans and journalists. Ibra is without doubt one of footballs greatest supertalents, making his best season ever at the age of 30. If you would have followed italian reporting about Serie A you would have noticed how dominant Ibrahimovic was in that fine league all the years he played there.

About him underperforming. When he arrived at Milan after Barcelona, his test results blew all previous records. His physique is impressive by any comparision and looking at him almost fainting of fatigue after a game makes you understand how tough it must be to be a 100 kilo top forward. You cannot compare him to a forward of normal height and weight. Why would he run around chasing the ball when he needs his strength with the ball at his feet?

Ibra is a winner and will not rest until he won the French league as well. Anything else is impossible for him.
