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!

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. 

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.

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.

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]

How reliable is this source?

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?

Wouldn't it be great if Pato came and just wasn't a complete fuck up like Falcao etc... I mean it's not going to happen but imagine...

Colour me intrigued with this transfer. 

[Special Juan 28,100]

Cannot get upbeat about this transfer, cannot see him doing anything here and think he will be a massive fucking flop.

Prove me wrong, prove a lot wrong... but one thing I will say...He cannot play with less heart than some of them.

As long as it is a loan im quite ok with this. We need a striker and it's quite obvious that Bamford wont get a chance, there's not many other attainable targets available for cheap atm. My biggest worry would be how his injury situation is nowadays, wasn't he kind of injury prone back in the day? We already have Falcao for that.

It's not a loan we will buy him and Pato in 3 years has not suffered one serious injury.

Taken that 'prove me wrong' challenge too many times with our striker policy. Nothing good can come of his, just let it be a loan ffs.

Very similar to Torres... with us he did not suffered any injury, but all those injuries had already taken their toll. Same with Pato...

The only thing he has over Torres is that Pato is younger and can recover some of his power and pace still. I don't think he can ever touch that original amazing potential though.

Another expensive Bet.
