We're doing a little something different on this brand new episode of PSG Talking. Our usual crew has the day off so I'm going one-on-one with a very special guest. When it comes to Paris Saint-Germain, few are more knowledgeable than ESPN FC's PSG correspondent Jonathan Johnson and we get his thoughts on the latest news coming out of Paris.

Recorded on September 5, 2019, we begin the show with a conversation about PSG's summer transfer window, which finally ended last Monday. Johnson had a fair assessment of PSG's business for ESPN FC where he called out the lack of options at full-back as a concern for the reigning French champions. Will the departure of Moussa Diaby come back to haunt PSG if Juan Bernat goes down with an injury and should Thomas Meunier start in the UEFA Champions League at right-back ahead of Colin Dagba?

After the window closed, many outlets listed PSG among their "losers" in the transfer window. Why are so many undervaluing or perhaps misinterpreting what sporting director Leonardo managed to pull off in his first window since returning to the club?

With a renewed hope in the City of Light, what does manager Thomas Tuchel need to do to secure his job for the rest of the season? He will no doubt have plenty of egos to navigate around but if he gets it right, the talent is there to make a deep run in the Champions League.

The podcast goes over 30 minutes without any serious conversation about Neymar Jr., PSG wantaway superstar who couldn't force a move back to FC Barcelona. With so much having already been said about the situation, we thought we would ask Johnson about what it was like in the room when the Catalan club and PSG executives got together to negotiate a potential deal.

Johnson then gives a quick update on injuries, including Kylian Mbappé, who Johnson speculates could be back in time for the match against Real Madrid on September 18. Unfortunately, Edinson Cavani's injury may keep him out longer, which makes the signing of Mauro Icardi on transfer deadline day that more important.

This week the pod reviews a couple of high-drama CFA cup semi finals, and looks forwards to the prospect of a high-stakes Shenhua - Shandong final. How impressed are we by Shenhua's mid-season resurgence, and does Li Xiaopeng get enough credit for the progress his Shandong side are making? There's plenty of time to prepare for the final - we talk through the scheduling issues along with just why so few clubs take the early rounds seriously before the cup bursts into life from the quarter finals onwards.

We then follow-up on last week's discussion of where it went wrong for Roger Schmidt and Beijing Guoan, and what this means for the short-term future of Guoan and their new coach. Job security and the risks and benefits of CSL management - along with the relative stability enjoyed by Vitor Pereira at the reigning champions - all come under scrutiny.
