Chelsea realise paying £8-10m for Pato would be risky so they tried for a loan, Corinthians don't find it acceptable. [@MauroCezarESPN]

 

 

 

Someone in the board must've been drunk and seen some sense.

Well, real life isnt FIFA, you know?. You dont go to your squad list, look at what you need most and then focus your effort into finding a player for said position before doing anything else. What you actually do is be aware of the entire situation and tackle the opportunities as they present themselves.

The only reason we are going after Alexandre Pato is because he is cheap. He comes to be a more reliable bench option than Remy/Falcao and he can also put pressure on Hazard and Pedro as he plays as a winger as well. Honestly, its not a bad sign if for the right price.

Now, its obviously that CM and RB are bigger issues, but the problem is there arent any good and cheap options out there. If there was ab oportunity similar to Pato for a midfielder and a fullback, the club would be all over it. But there isnt.

If you havent noticed by now, the club is not in pursuit of big targets for January. Our managerial situation is uncertain and the prices are too high, its not worth it. Waiting is actually a much smarter move than to try to salvage a lost season by spending 100mil on panic signs. So just suck it up until May and stop dreaming...

 

I'm not saying go out and get a Gundogan/Pogba., and yes we we need to be shrewd with our transfers, like you said.

But IMO, getting Pato is more of a gamble and falls into the territory of signings like Benayoun, Falcao (even if he is a lot younger than those two)... where there is potential for them to contribute immensely to the squad but more often than not they end up being injured/wasted on the bench and become a headache to get rid of in the next window. 

I do hope things improve in May like you suggest.

Hopefully...no champions league or European football would make things less appealing but other teams manage to sign quality players so no reason why we wouldn't be able to.

 

What? no CL football will decrease our changes to sign top players.

@xPetrCechx Hey mate, can you do me a favour? When you post screenshots like you do, can you tell us what website it is from? It'd make a great difference knowing if it is Goal or BBC. Thanks, mate.

The Hiddink stuff is from daily star.  In other words it is probably utter rubbish
