Closed Pato signs for Corinthians

[Term-X 7,891]

'was' a milan legend, and by flop i mean a flop for milan because when he came back i think he only played around 3 or 4 games and was shit.

so how is that any excuse for taking away milans best striker for the second time in a row

[Kez 2,727]

I didn't say it was, i'm just saying sheva is a milan legend

Alexandre Pato looks set to turn down the offer from Chelsea to remain with Milan, confirmed his agent.

“Pato had a meeting with Milan and it is the club that decides on the future of a player,” Gilmar Veloz told Telelombardia this evening.

Carlo Ancelotti had wanted Pato to come to Chelsea with him and the Brazilian said he would “listen” to what the London club had to say.

“I will speak with Ancelotti before deciding on my future,” said the young striker earlier this week.

It looks as if Milan will refuse to release Pato, but it remains to be seen whether he will earn a pay rise as part of the deal.

“This is not a problem we will talk about in public,” added agent Veloz. “The contract is an issue between us and a private matter for the player.”

i think tevez will be the better option as he is 25 years old means still (minimum)5 to 7 years to play and he hv a lot of experience of premier league. and to spend 40 to 50m pounds for aguero or pato or benzema can be a gamble as u dont know weather they will adapt to the style of premier league or not.i will prefer 32m pound tevez instead of the players mentioned above.

[SempreJuve 62]

im not to sure tevez will leave now that C Ronaldo is gone though..

[crazy1 24]

tevez is surely to leave manu.

[crazy1 24]

agreeing to 32m pounds deal and his wage demands will surely bring him to Chelsea as he will be competing in champions league(the advantage for Chelsea over man city).

^ a man-u reject is not worth 30mill, and he isent good enough to move anelka to the bench.

i hope we dont sign tevez.. cant stand him

Benzema, Aguero & Pato and maybe dembele' are the only strikers we should be looking at

You quite obsessed with the young players, reminds me of one Arsene Wenger. I understand the need to bring in youth, but at the same time we need to not get carried away with. It doesnt help having half a squad 30 plus and half a squad under 21 we need balance, there is nothing wrong with paying good money for proven quality that is 25 to 27 years old

its not going to happen ffs

Milan striker Alexandre Pato insists he is happy to stay at the club amid interest from English outfit Chelsea.

Last week, the 19-year-old Brazil international said he intended to speak to Carlo Ancelotti, the new Chelsea boss, before committing his future to Milan.

He was said to be very disappointed with the Rossoneri in the aftermath of Ancelotti's departure and Kaka's sale to Real Madrid.

"I am happy to stay with Milan," Pato said. "I don't worry about what you say. I have a contract with Milan, which I want to respect.

"I want to win everything with Milan."

Pato is currently on international duty with Brazil at the Confederations Cup and was on the bench today as the Seleção beat Egypt 4-3.

He enjoyed an excellent campaign with Milan this season, scoring 15 goals in 27 starting appearances in Serie A.

He could be just quietening the speculation surrounding him so he can concentrate on his football until the Confederations Cup is done with. But like you said, it's more than likely that we won't be getting him.

[Kez 2,727]

He would be a great signing

fair doos.

Thts not to say we shouldnt buy very talented youngsters, just some experience too

I guess we can pretty much close and forget this one! we need to focus on just one player who IS allowed to leave their club....Not really too dependant on wether they want to play for Chelsea or not, because 1. most players would anyway. 2. pretty much every player which has come to Stamford Bridge has stuck around because they love it!
