Pato

[Fulham Broadway 16,444]

Thought there was thread for him already ? did a search and nothing came up.

Anyway, watched the gooners win in Milan last night, and he showed brilliance for an 18 year old. Beat five gooners on one run. Sure we were linked with him at some point, but he chose the Italians over us, or something. Just the sort of winger we could do with by the looks.

It might have been on the old CFC-Fans forum FB. We were definitely linked with him, but yeah, he chose Milan. Doubt we'll ever see him in our blue unfortunately

Went to Milan v Lazio on Saturday night and he was one of the few to play from the first team. Definitely stands out as a player with massive potential. In that game though, he was a little like the old Ronaldo - too many of the tricks and stuff that didnt come off, but he'll learn when not to do it in time. Great player to watch and they absolutely love him over there already, there's Pato gear everywhere you look.

Mourinho was very keen to sign him, think he got pretty close at one stage but the minute Milan waded in Pato was only ever going to sign for one club.

Thought you were joking when you said you were off to Milan

Fair play. He was definitely the young beacon in an ageing Milan team.

Arsenal were also meant to sign him but he chose Milan over everyone else.

Of course, Milan match our pay check and Italy's winters are considerably warmer than good ol'England.

Bloody right, it was 25 degrees this weekend, great stuff. Probably not the best season to have joined Milan though, struggling to even qualify for CL football next season.

Ya, he is a great talent. Im sure he'll be a star there, if he isn't already. Plus he inherited Sheva's number so he is destined to do great things, for Milan that is
