Closed Pato signs for Corinthians

[tardust 6]

The injuries might actually make him a bargain. Every signing is a risk, but the risk to get a talent like Pato for fairly cheap because of injuries could pay off enormously.

Like when we got Torres?

Like when we got Torres?

The exact opposite. Torres was Chelsea going after a specific player and paying way more than he was worth because we were obsessed with getting him. I'm not saying Chelsea should get Pato or any player in particular, but we should be looking for value everywhere and previous injuries can bring down someone's price enormously thereby making them a bargain.

Pato if we don't sign Hulk? He is very good on that right hand side...

No more playing strikers on the wings.

Chelsea wanted Giroud so that shows we are in the market for a Striker to replace Drogba, Thats why Pato is being considered

I'd say we're definitely in for a striker, although I doubt we're considering Pato. A link between Pato and Chelsea occurs every transfer window and every time it comes to nothing.

It'll come down to this, I think.

Will he leave her:

For her?

No offence at all to Eva but I wouldn't...

More seriously though he's not going to sign for us. I think Emenalo has proven himself to be capable enough to not try a risky move like this.

Just no...

[Spike 12,049]

Pace..power...and a bit of cheek.

Well ya know....there's a certain striker who plays for Le Arse who's entire family loves London and has 1 year left on his contract.

He'd get money, trophy contention, and could stay in London.

lol

I also doubt it but my point was that we are not in for Pato to play him as a RW like The Skipper said, we are looking for another striker to the Squad...

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Getting a striker will be a mistake. What will happen to Danny boy? Another wasted talent...

Gotcha. Yes, we're likely in for a RW and a striker. Hulk & Schurrle seem the most likely at the moment imo.

Why buy a striker and a RW when getting Hulk will kill 2 birds with one stone?

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Well technically so would Schurrle as he can play 2+ positions as well. I'd also expect Lukaku to go on loan as well anyway. Nothing wrong with strength in depth, eh?

Yes, there is plenty wrong with that. What would happen to Sturridge? He can not/should not play on the RW anymore. It would be best to buy Hulk or another RW who can play as a striker rather than buying both a Striker AND a RW.

Yes, Hulk and Schurrle, as I originally said.

And as a side note, the team's needs comes before Sturridge's.
