Alexandre Pato

[Jcar92 66]

One thing more to say, he doesn't seen like a player that wants glory in his actions, but he was the only one here that refused a proposal from China (6 million per month as salary and he wold get 15% of the money that they would pay Corinthians to break-contract). That says a lot, after everything that he went trought, he still wants to have sucess in Football.

Alex Pato choosing a club is a little like that children's game 'Duck, Duck, Goose'.

Pato, Pato, Pato, Pato, Pato, GANSO!

[Jcar92 66]

Oh yeah, 1,5 million dollar is like 6 million brazilian coin. Still think that pretty much a lot of money. Thats how the brazilian economy is right now... 1 dollar was 2 brazilians sometime ago...And now this.

Imagine you trying to hold your best players with things like this. Thats why brazilian footbal has fallen like this, if we had all brazilians that go to other countrys here, we would still be big.

things just seens to get worse every day, Neymar is like the last of the mohicans

he's in top form as Torres got in top form for us...

after 50 muscle injuries his top form for us was about 70% of his top form at pool... Pato at Milan could be any player on pace... not anymore.

And yes, the brazilian league is on the slow side - seira A style - so Pato will struggle.

Torres cost us £50m and had ridiculously high wages, and was also our number 1 striker. Pato would be none of those. We don't need a number 1 striker, Costa is fine. 

If this deal allows us to get rid of Falcao's wages I'm up for it tbh.

Wouldn't be surprised if he did well here at all. Premier League defences are at an all time worst.

If we sign Pato cannot let Remy go. Even if it costs us £1m or something around that area to cancel it, then Falcao's loan should be scrapped.  I read an article yesterday where a Colombian journalist was saying that River Plate and the fans want him back, like a hero returning, but this journalist said in his opinion, Falcao should retire.  His injuries have destroyed him and he just cant handle the top level footbal anymore

If it is 11-15m euros, and the rumoured 55k euros a week, its worth a risk.  A loan would be even better but a poster said his deal ends in December, so its kinda worthless for Corinthians.

He can play wide left too, so right now can he be any worse than Pedro?  Can't be no worse than Falcao either

The Chelsea squad believe forward Pato is close to joining the club. (Telegraph)

[Jcar92 66]

For what he played in Brazil, i have no idea, he can either own it or even be the flop of the year. just lol

Well, i am a supporter of Corinthians. I disagree of Rmpr, we do have the money to pay Pato's salary every month (even more now that we sold half of the champion team to China, 5 players, FIVE, 2 fucking players from the National Team going after money instead of football), but we are crazy to sell. That guy isn't injury prone anymore, we fixed him... Like we did with Renato Augusto (on Bayern Leverkusen, he wold get hurt every time). Dmytro Chygrynskiy even came to Brazil to treat himself in our club... He said that he didn't had any problems after passing here.

Anyway, the problem with Pato is that he is totally alienated with everything that happens around him, the world may be falling on his feet, but he doesn't show the will to win, he is not hungry for the victory. The talent is still there, you can see the flashy tricks and all, but not like when he was young. Also, he is not as fast as he were... He is still pretty fast, just not so fast as the time he made a goal against Barcelona, letting everyone miles behind. Corinthians is desperate to sell him, but not for money or for injuries, the problem is his personality and intelligence (i particularly think he is kinda dumb).

He coud still work for you guys anyways....

lol

Corinthians dont have any money at all. The money you got from selling players will be used to pay huge debts.

Joke of a club.

I'd take Pato on, purely because he's 26, and still has plenty of years left in the tank. My only concern, is the fact that he's a striker, and we dispose of big names up front faster than my mum goes through dairy milk bars!

sure it might work out great, but my point remains it's fairly wild bet... just like Falcao and Torres before that.

Wages don't matter so much when they aren't good enough - the average cheap player ends up playing and producing nothing.

[JaKstone 307]

I like Pato, he was my favourite when he was at Milan. I for one hope we get him on loan or buy him, he might turn up to be a gem and is still fairly young.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Do NOT give him the fucking number 9 shirt. It's cursed.

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Alexandre Pato, only minor details are needed before the switch can be completed. [CalcioNews24]

Youd think we would want to tie it up soon if we had plans to use him v Arsenal.

 

Or will Costa be fit, has he recovered quicker than expected?
