scargo 75 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 fucking. Pato's buying option is 12m. Pato is as good as Falcao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it wasn't always smooth sailing for Torres as soon as he got back to Atletico. He was benched quite often and reports a few weeks ago suggested club and player had reached an impasse on an agreement to tie him up next season, currently on his final year on his AC Milan deal. I'm sure this form he's found will help him secure that however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Alexandre Pato will stay at Chelsea next season. [sky Sports] I'm ok with that. Time to sell Remy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 So Costa, Traore and Pato. Not so sure in the quality, Pato hasn't played enough to form any kind of opinion nor is Traore good enough to challenge Costa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loan was a joke to start with, but we need a back up CF that has some experience. Remy should be sold, Falcao back off to France and Traore isn't a CF that will carry us (is a winger IMO). Isn't ideal, but it certainly ain't a shocking announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's young and he's trying, it's only a upward learning curve. Pato was never going to develop with us, the loan was absolutely nonsensical. I don't doubt those kia joorabchian links are true. Sigh. Oh well, hopefully he'll be fine with being 3rd/4th choice. Whatever.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely features under Hiddink so the man himself clearly didn't think much of this signing and Conte wasn't signed in Jan. Wonder who's real idea Pato was.

Conte must be in favour for it to some extent. The board have made some very weird decisions and this just another one of them. Shows a shake up is needed IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely featured as he was sooooo outta shape we have 'gambled' so many times on strikers - would be nice to see one pay off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I wouldn't mind it at all. He seem to be very determined to fight, his first two games was good too. For 10-15 million he can be a great backup striker. Not a big gamble, and who knows, he can get in a better shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I see this as good just as long as our second striker is someone like traore, solanke or such. Because buying a good striker will kill any chances our youth will get. So if we are going that way then good. If not then this is a very poor signing.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 You know, the good thing is that if Chelsea pay the money for permanent transfer then I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to sell him for the same price as there's big need for Brazilians in China. At least that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
