Well if what rmpr said is true (and I trust his judgement fully) and he is  more of a wide forward than a striker; I would be over the moon to see him playing out on the right over Pedro. 

Exactly, there are quite a few interviews during his loan in Sao Paulo that pundits asked him what was the main reason he returned to his form and Pato said he prefers to play wide and in SPFC he was allowed to do so, and without much of an obligation to mark the oppositions fullback.

We will be making a huge mistake to sign him imo. Not because signing him is bad, but we will be signing him for all the wrong reasons. Lets pretend Hazard and Pedro were playing really well but we needed someone for the bench, then I woukd say Pato would be an amazing option. But signing him to try to fix the lack of goals from Costa and Falcao is total nonsense. 

Also, I think Pato doesnt have njury problems anymore. However, it is still risky for the fact he does love to club during the week, so the club must becareful.

Chelsea board suffer lagging time problem. T+5y. First we signed Falcao, then we want Pato. Silly

Premier league defenders would tear him apart. Please no.

Lance! is the Brazilian version of Goal, Daily Mail or The Sun. Anything but reliable.

Also, will you seriously give credit to a a twitter account named Cynegeticus?

Yes because it is a very good account and he doesnt talk shite. Paulo Freitas his name is. Think he does a bit of work for Sky Sports and is Brazils head researcher for the FM game or something. 

 

I seen someone ask him re.Pato on there and he said the rumour is true because Mauro Cezar isn't a gossip guy - but he doesnt think it is advanced as some sources claim. Said if Globo Esporte start to report it too, then it is more than just "rumour".  And today they are reporting it

a new striker first, on top of a continuing crap midfield. 

I guess the logic is that Diego and Pato can get drunk together and score a lot as a tandem. 

they better score a lot with the lot playing behind them.

Guus appeared to shut this down during today's media conference.

When the subject of Pato was raised the coach talked about his existing striking options, mentioned the availability of some kids who can fill in the gaps and then said, "We don't need to do anything there. [recruiting strikers]" I know that some don't regard Pato as a striker but Guus seemed to.

Leaving aside the possibility that Guss does not know what the club is planning, or is deliberately creating some misdirection, this comment seems to be a blow for  the hopes of those who would like to see Pato join. Given his previous straight bat approach to questions about transfer speculation, the mere fact that the coach chose to engage with the question this time suggests the club are keen to distance themselves form Pato.

If not injured he could be world class.

He's never been world class. He doesn't convert at a high enough rate for me.
