If not then this is a very poor signing.   We'll need more strikers if Conte decides to play 4-4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiddink said he wouldn't probably be ready until April, incredibly stupid loan in a season where every player was needed and we sign one that needed over 12 weeks to get fit for action. It's not even a calculated gamble lmao, now based on a cameo appearance here and there we're going to occupy a squad role of him. Don't know why I'm surprised, we like to sign 'names' over actual talent and form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Ahmed 528 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Alexandre Pato waits on Chelsea, Corinthians decision Quote Alexandre Pato arrived at Chelsea in the closing days of the winter transfer window but needed two months of intense fitness training just to be able to make his debut.  The striker ended up playing just 2 matches, scoring a single goal from the penalty spot in his substitute appearance and missing two good chances in his lone start.Despite his general lack of production, Pato's future is far from obvious.  His loan at Chelsea is set to end next month, officially, but we do have a reported €12 million buy option.  Corinthians would prefer to sell, but are also open to having him back.  And so, we wait, alongside Pato's agent, Gilmar Veloz, for the two clubs to make up their minds. "We don't know how it will be, since his contract lasts until [June] 30th. As for his purchase, this is between clubs. We will wait to see what Chelsea and Corinthians decide about it."-Gilmar Veloz; source: Globo Esporte Corinthians' hopes of a sale lie in Chelsea's new manager Antonio Conte, who's been rumoured to favour Pato staying at Chelsea, though preliminary discussions are already ongoing. "We will wait to see how things will go in regards to the manager [Antonio Conte], but it's obvious that we've been in talks [with Chelsea] already."-Edu Gaspar; Source: Globo Esporte Pato's contract with Corinthians ends on December 31st, at which point he will be free to go to any other club on a free transfer. This explains part of Corinthians' desperation to sell the player, especially after spending R$43 million (around €10.9 million in current exchange rates) when they bought him from AC Milan in 2013.The Brazilian currency's weakness compared with the euro and the pound sterling might make Pato's wages and transfer fee more attractive in comparison with other players of the same status who are based in Europe, but the R$200,000 (around €50,200 in current exchange rates) weekly earnings from his deal with Corinthians are still the highest in the Brazilian leagues.Chelsea are basically Corinthians' last hope to recoup a decent chunk of the investment made in Pato.  Will Chelsea be the heroes they need, or will we be just a footnote in the 26-year-old's short yet already storied career. weaintgotnohistoy.sbnation.com  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close the Chelsea rehabilitation center and start providing a platform for new careers instead.  I agree as well. But also these are done to gain favour with these powerful agents I bet.Falcao's agent is the great Jorge Mendes, and he could maybe steer a transfer target our way (Ruben Neves?) or anyone else of the hundreds of footballers he manages. And Pato's agent is Mondial Sport. They represent some of the most prominent players around Europe too including 3 of ours in Zouma, Traore, and Nemanja Matic. And if reports are true that we wish to offload Matic, gaining good favor with his agent can make the deal much easier. Would like to add, it'll be interesting to see if we target any other players managed by Mondial Sport because we haven't been linked with any of them so far. I'd like to think there's a serious end-game in this, and that we aren't trying to jumpstart fallen careers, but you never know with Chelsea. http://www.transfermarkt.com/mondial-sport-management-amp-consulting-sarl/beraterfirma/berater/2106 I also forgot to mention the JM--> Mendes connection, which may explain the Falcao one. Because that was done befoe this season turnt to shit. But the Pato transfer is interesting indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football these days is an agent's paradise.. They're more sought out than the transfer targets themselves. Nike's deal will help too, rubbing shoulders with the sponsors is just as powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Ahmed 528 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Pato has not had contact from Blues or Antonio Conte about future, says agent Quote Alexandre Pato has not yet heard from Chelsea nor incoming coach Antonio Conte about whether he is still wanted at the club, the Brazilian's agent has said. The striker's loan deal at Chelsea, who he joined from Corinthians in January, is set to expire at the end of June but Pato's agent Gilmar Veloz has claimed that Conte has not been in touch to tell the Brazilian whether he will form part of his plans for next season. "Chelsea has not given the player, me, or anyone any information regarding Pato's future," Veloz told Goal."We received the news that Mr. Conte was revising the players in the squad, however, he did not contact Pato or me to talk about his future as well."For now, Pato's future is still in the open, Chelsea has the option to buy, but if they don't then we will begin looking for other clubs. As of the moment, we must first wait to hear the club's decision." Pato has endured a disappointing loan spell at Chelsea, only making his first appearance for the club in April due to the striker lacking match fitness and then fighting for a starting berth with Diego Costa and Bertrand Traore. Despite the long wait for his debut, Pato scored in his first match for Chelsea against Aston Villa before starting the club's next game away to Swansea City. However, after a disappointing performance in front of goal at the Liberty Stadium, Pato failed to play again for the Blues as Chelsea finished the season in 10th place. standard.co.uk  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
