Within this pass week PSG have flashed the cash by buying three big named players which I will review indivually in other posts
The First signing they bought was Edison Cavani from Napoli
The Second signing they bought was Lucas Digne from Lille
The Third signing they bought was Marquinhos from AS Roma
Question:

What do my readers think about the new 2013/2014 Home Kit?
Sorry for leaving this blog unattended for so long because I have had so many things going on that I have forgot to update it. As I have less things to do and can follow PSG all season. This will be updated more often and posts might come two or three at a time
Hope all enjoy reading this if you are a PSG fan or not.
Italian U21 international attacking midfielder Marco Verratti has joined Paris Saint-Germain from Serie A outfit Pescara
The playmaker was born on 5 November 1992 in Pescara, and made his footballing debut in his native city. Technically gifted, Verratti made his first team debut with Pescara at the age of 16! During the 2009-10 he emerged as an integral part of the side and Europe's biggest clubs lined up for the signature of the 'new Pirlo', already with 3 U21 caps to his name.
In the 2011-12 campaign, Marco Verratti played 31 Serie B matches in Italy, leading his side to the second division title and earning his first call up to the Italy U21 side. The Pescara No.10 took his U21 bow against... France on 28 February 2012. He was even called up to Prandelli's pre-Euro squad with the Italy senior side.
Following the signatures of Ezequiel Lavezzi and Thiago Silva, Marco Verratti is Paris Saint-Germain's third recruit this summer, signing a five-year contract. At just 19 years of age, the young playmaker is the third Italian in the squad, joining compatriots Salvatore Sirigu and Thiago Motta.
The midfielder is thrilled by the switch and, though does not speak French, is confident that, with Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti in charge of a squad packed with Serie A imports, he will be able to adapt.
"In life, you have to make choices and this kind of proposal may never come again, so I could not say no to PSG," he told Sky Italia. "The fact that there are Italians there makes it easier for me in terms of the language.
"Ancelotti is one of the greatest coaches in the world and I am very happy to join this squad and work with him."
He added: "I still have everything to prove, but at 19 or 20 [years of age] it is possible to play for a big club. Look at [Davide] Santon, who has gone to Newcastle and done really well there.
"In the world of football, there is not only Italy."
PSG, having tied up the signing of Thiago Silva from AC Milan on Saturday
A press conference will be held on Wednesday July 18th, 2012 at 3:00 pm in the Parc des Princes Press Conference Room with NASSER AL KHELAIFI, Paris Saint-Germain President and LEONARDO, Sports Director.
This Press conference could be about very high speculation that AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pescara Midfielder,Marco Verratti could be signing for Les Bleues et Rouges in the next few hours
This is my first questions to my readers
Do you think PSG can challenge for the Champions League title?
Who else would you like to be seen in a PSG shirt before the season starts?
The inspiration for the new jersey is drawn from the traditional club blue of the original emblem. This authentic design is a tribute to the origins of the Paris Saint-Germain.
The designers have brought a fresh approach to the historic central band, but with a crisp and clean, modern graphic evolution. Two white and red stripes highlight the central band with contrast and elegance.
The shorts and socks reflect the blue of the jersey, to reinforce the modern and elegant harmony of the new Paris Saint-Germain home kit.
This new kit will be worn for the first time during the club's preseason friendly matches in July.
A kit that combines state of the art technology with respect for the environment
The new kit combines innovation and elegance to provide the club with a unique new look. Nike's innovative approach supplies an ultra performing kit while guaranteeing excellent comfort levels for the players.
The kits are made with recycled polyester, making this the most environmentally friendly product ever made by Nike. The new fabrication process uses 30% less energy than traditional polyester. Since 2010, Nike has used approximately 115 million recycled plastic bottles to make its high performance sportswear.
The new kit is made with a material 23% lighter and 20% more resistant than previous models. It also features Nike's Dri–FIT technology to absorb humidity and maintain fresh and dry athletes on the pitch.
The kits also feature T-shaped reinforcements along certain hem lines of both jersey and shorts as well as thermal stitching to add to the sense of comfort. The temperature is regulated via zones of ventilation, under the arms and waist to allow maximum air circulation.
Nike Pro Combat under shirts are used by the athletes as a compliment to the kit to ensure comfort and protection.
Football fans can also own purchase products from the Sportswear PSG collection, inspired by the club's heritage and traditions.
