Closed Pato signs for Corinthians

[Mart 29]

Carlo denies that we are moving for Pato. I really don't think we're going to move for anybody unless a player or some players go.

[Kajo 176]

Carlo said that we don't buy any more players but media still link us with players like Pato and Aguero.

IF we go for any other strikers, we have to get rid of Pizarro and sadly Sheva. It is a bummer that Joey is injured so that Ancelotti couldn´t get a good look at his abilities. That means that we maybe go for another winger/striker even though we might have the perfect solution already - just injured.

I think we don´t Pato or Aguero, we just need a full fit Super Joey Cole, but yeah.... it is a vicious circle.

Our squad is brilliant as it is.

With DiSanto on loan to a top flight club, i think we look at another top striker prospect.

Thats true DV -also come next season theres no guarantee Drogs (though hopefully he will be) will be around or Anelka. Its insurance for a top player next season...hes better than that Robsomebody that went to Man City as well. My gut feeling is Di santo wont return, and the next dynamic duo could be Pato and Sturridge....

[diskoviolente 425]

It is true that we have to sort the future of our attacking positions out, but i think we shouldn´t go for players like Pato and Aguero so much if they aren´t interessted in playing for Chelsea.

More singins like Youri and Sturridge would do good.

I really enjoyed the times when we were linked to every top player in the world but the guarentee that signings like Pato and Kun really pay off isn´t given...

As instead of buying young players, or players who are really ambitious like Zhirkov to play champions league with the Chels´ is more of a better investment.

Don´t get me wrong, I rate Pato and Aguero very highly, and would be amused to see them trashing the likes of United, but if it is so hard to get to these names... i just don´t know...

I agree with what your saying up there ^^^^ However, i just cant help but feel that if we had either Pato OR Aguero it would just fully complete our squad...He would be the new Ronaldo or Rooney type player that Manchester United always seem to have and we dont...They even still have Nani...But after yesterday...Not for a while teehee 0=). I cant think of many quality fairly young players aged 24 ish who want to play for Chelsea though. But when people come to Chelsea they all either stay, or leave with a fondness for Chelsea...The way our team is it turns players into Chelsea lovers

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

I personally think Pato is overrated... Aguero is the shit! I know we wont get him this year but pray we do next summer!!!!!

Chelsea aim to sign Brazilian prodigy Alexandre Pato in a £40million deal - but not until next summer.

Carlo Ancelotti and the Stamford Bridge hierarchy have earmarked the 19-year-old striker as the man to supply the missing link in the Italian's masterplan to become Europe's dominant force.

But the Blues know AC Milan cannot sell the South American in the same transfer window that they have banked £56m from Real Madrid for Kaka.

Chelsea have let Milan know they are ready to wait until enough time has passed for the San Siro club to do a deal for the teenager - who turns 20 next month.

And the Blues are convinced San Siro owner Silvio Berlusconi is prepared to sell when the time is right and that Pato is equally keen to link up with Ancelotti again.

The likelihood, however, is that Chelsea's spending for this summer is now over at a total outlay of £22m plus the tribunal assessed figure for Daniel Sturridge.

Ancelotti has only recruited Sturridge, £18m Yuri Zhirkov, Ross Turnbull and Serbian youngster Nemanja Matic.

Despite claims from Spain, Chelsea were not seriously interested in Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero, even before the Argentine played in the Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos, and certainly not once the striker demanded £200,000 per week.

They were - and remain - keen on Franck Ribery but do not believe the French flier is worth more than £40m, let alone the £70m-plus Bayern Munich wanted for a player who is keen to join the trail to the Bernebeu next year.

Pato, however, is seen as the next step for Ancelotti and his side to make significant progress when his capture can be confirmed.

BRAZILIAN wonderkid Alexandre Pato is set to play off AC Milan and Chelsea against one another in a bid to get more money.

Hesays he wants to talk to Carlo Ancelotti about a move to Chelsea - butthe Blues should beware of being mere pawns in Milan's internalpolitics.

Hopes of getting Kaka to follow Ancelotti to westLondon have gone, but they should not expect to find it any easier tosecure the considerable consolation prize of Kaka's 19-year-oldteam-mate.

The Italian giants will fight tooth and nail toavoid losing a second big star this summer - Kaka agreeing a worldrecord £56million transfer to Real Madrid this week - especially such ayoung star in an ageing side.

And Pato's apparent words ofencouragement to the Bridge may simply be a bargaining chip to land amore lucrative contract at the San Siro - funded by the massive fee forKaka.

Pato told Italy's leading sports daily, Gazzetta dello Sport: "It is an honour for me to be appreciated by a club like Chelsea.

"I will talk to Ancelotti, then I will meet Milan officials. My future will be clearer at the end of June.

"Nothinghas been decided yet. I want to speak with Ancelotti. He is an amazingman. He helped me emerge at Milan and in Italian football. Beforedeciding my future, I want to talk to him."

Unless Milandecide to cash in and further ease their debts, the Blues may have toharden their interest in Spanish striker David Villa, who will beoffloaded by cash-strapped Valencia.
