Me>Pato>Falcao

Sign Mark up!

I rather get Chicharito then this guy.

But if we get him then if the wages and fees is low then that's a low risk gamble.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Pato for peanuts is at least a sign that the club are biding their time before they go big in the summer. Pato is basically replacing Falcao in the pecking order, and while I'm not elated, I do like the fact that its a low risk high reward type deal. 50k a week is nothing.

From the videos I've seen his explosiveness looks to be back, he does have tidy feet and is a willing passer.  We live to fight another day by not committing big dollars before we get our manager.

If we do sign pato don't let him hit penalties 

[Leif 6,006]

me and the board do the same drugs

Sometimes a washed up player can surprise u I remember we signed a washed up George Weah and he help us win the FA Cup and did a good job for us

Being reported in Lance! now too.  No idea if they're reliable, they also say Kia Joorabchian is doing the deal

[robsblubot 3,529]

his story - injuries slowly chipping away his blazing pace - is scaringly similar to Torres'...

He isn't a striker primarily. Only on FIFA is he a centre forward. He is a  wide forward, usually on the left.

No I get that for sure, he's played most of his games on the left. This is precisely why I think we're interested because of his ability to play in different roles. More of an Auxiliary striker.

Pato could be a good signing.

Could be.  But, if he's primarily an aux striker who can play out on the left, 433 would suit him better.  Same with Pedro.  Not so much LM like we use.

I'd love for us to give 433 a shot, but...

According to ESPN Brasil correspondent based in UK, he believes Pato's staff is creating the whole thing and he doesn't believe Chelsea is really interested, and only a deal on loan would be possible.

I hope its true. Pato doesn't many any sense.

Team with Oscar+Pato. What a nightmare.

The google translate version of that link is great:

Now with duck in the sights, Chelsea is a true 'cemetery attackers'

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

I'm sure we've got a spare physio table he can use. 

 

He has been great at times but this guy can get injured getting out of bed

In 3 years Pato has not suffered one serious injury. 

[Beepu 1,714]

I wanted him so much before he went to Milan. I think this would be an okay move if it means falcao gets thrown back to Monaco and if it's a loan with an option to buy if he does well. 50k euro is relatively small(if the rumours are true) and fitting for a third striker that can play wide for extra squad depth.

That was my first impression until I seen Lance! reporting it too.  And a guy on Twitter who is based in Brazil with many followers called Cynegeticus said the original report by whoever from ESPNBrazil is a reliable guy
