#3 Poor recruitment
Trending
Every summer you can almost guarantee that some of the world’s best players will be linked with Paris Saint-Germain. Whether that be Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar or most recently Alexis Sanchez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, PSG will always be busy in the transfer window. However, last summer’s signings have proven to be questionable, to say the least.
With Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani’s move to the centre saw a gaping hole on the left-hand side of the front three. Angel Di Maria and Lucas Moura had been playing on the right wing for most of the previous season, but PSG decided to bring in a 29-year-old Hatem Ben Arfa on a free transfer. Sure, he’d come off the back of an incredible season at Nice, but was he really the answer?
Grzegorz Krychowiak has been plagued by injuries during his time in the French capital, so it is rather harsh to judge him on this season alone. Jese Rodriguez from Real Madrid didn’t even last a whole season after he was shipped out on loan to Las Palmas in January. Goncalo Guedes may prove to be a good player in the future, but is he really worth €30m?
The only two successes from this season will be Julian Draxler and Thomas Meunier, and for a club with ambitions as high as PSG’s, they seriously need to buck their ideas up.
