Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
This winter, PSG would consider recruiting a new winger in order to compete with Bradley Barcola, who has been experiencing a decline in performance in recent weeks. This is why Grégory Paisley believes that it would be bad news for the French international if a new player arrived at his position.
As the winter transfer window approaches, the PSG could well be active in order to compensate for certain shortcomings. Particularly in the offensive sector. A winger could thus be recruited in order to offer competition to Bradley Barcola who has been experiencing difficulties for several meetings. But for Grégory Paisleythat would be a big risk.
Barcola threatened by the next transfer from PSG?
« This is his second full season at PSG. He spent half a season at OL, so he doesn't have more experience than that. Everything went very quickly and very well for him. We expect a lot now. It's hard to maintain this consistency when you start a career. This is how we recognize a great player, but we will know at the end of this season or at the start of the next if he is a top player. We judge him a lot on the Champions League, we sweep the dust under the carpet compared to Ligue 1. He is in the process of being readable for his opponents, so it is more complicated for him to get out of it », initially estimates the former player of the PSG at the microphone of theAfter Foot on RMCbefore continuing.
“Therein lies the danger”
« He stays a lot on the line side, there are two-person holds, so he has a new milestone to overcome, he has to reinvent himself in his style. This is part of his learning. He is only 22 years old, you need patience because he is a creative player. We are too demanding, although I understand it, because he has set the bar very high. (…) Recruit a competitor to Barcola? If he wants to develop, he needs to play one match after another. Competition has always existed within the PSG workforce. You can put him on the bench a little to make him understand that things are not going well. Often, we look outside when there will be no real added value. I'm wary of these winter transfer windows, where you go looking for players to pick them up. Therein lies the danger », added Grégory Paisley.
