Afaik, his parent club have been trying to get rid of him for a while and even went to the extent of loaning him out to a rival club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 He was at the game yesterday to support his Brazilian pals at CFC. A nice gesture, nothing more and nothing less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looking for a club in Europe and we all know how much Mou loves Portuguese speaking players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 He seems to be injury free and has been for a while, but they have taken their toll: he is no longer the player he once was.Not convinced he belongs at the top anymore.

the wes 7,212 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 he couldn't do any worse than falcao if we can get him on loan hes worth a gamble thats if chelsea are interested in him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Any more? Was he ever really a top player?I think he had glimpses of a top player, like when he destroyed Real in spain, but was mostly potential. That ship has sailed though.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Pato has been without an injury for more than a year. He played this entire Brazilian season.However, he explicity stated several times he doesnt want to be a striker anymore. Now he plays in the same potion Miller does and what Rooney used to with SAF when RVP and Berbatov were on the line up. Or even a better example, he plays in the same position Sturridge used to play when Suarez was at Liverpool.Also, he is only good enough to be a backup imo. His time has past. Its a shame because he trully had potential, but it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 is São Paulo looking a fee for him or loaning him out???Sao Paulo doesnt own him, Corinthians does. Pato arrived to Corinthians 2,5 years ago from Milan as the biggest transfer in Brazilian history (a little more than 10 million euros at the time) but he didnt fit their manager's system and he was always accused of being lazy or not caring enough. In resume, he floped there. So, to offload his astronomical wages, Corinthians loaned him to Sao Paulo and there he found his great form back and hosnestly has been playing really well.The thing is, Pato is now back to his former team and neither are happy about it. Corinthians doesnt want Pato and he doesnt want to stay as well. The problem (for Corinthians) is that no one in Brazil can afford Alexandre's wages and his contract ends in late 2016. So Corinthians wants to sell Pato asap. At least to recover the ridiculous investment they made.In my opinion, any European team (even a mid table team) that is willing to pay around 8 million Euros would easily be able to sign Pato...EDIT: Now, I will repeat myself, Pato is NOT a striker. He hasnt played in that position for years. He is for like a second forward or even an advanced winger, whoever you want to look at it.

Its a shame because he trully had potential, but it happens.Sturridge played as the furthest forward at Liverpool if I remember correctly. Seems like Pato took the Suarez role at Liverpool on more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
