Alexandre Pato - Forward - Corinthians (6 Viewers)

[Badass J Elkann]

Going for Pato is an act of despair. We might not have a lot money to throw around but surely we have better options out there.

if Pato is an act of despair what do you call being linked with eto'o and Drogba?

For starters, he won't take penalties with us. Unless its a shoot out. Fitness wise, I'm sure our doctors will do thorough tests. Also sure Conte won't play him unless he feels he's committed. It's just a loan. Worth a shot.

Pato committed? It'll take Conte less than a month to realize what he's done and bench him indefinitely.

@PedroFlu Did you hear that, Pato committed

Boooooom!!

 

[AndreaCristiano]

My point is why waste time and money on a player who is injury prone and not driven. When you have young forwards in berardi and gabiaddini who could play without said issues and you all ready have them?

Drogba still has it in him, for the right price he can do fine for one season. But it's as an act of despair as going for Pato.

he had personal issues with the other players at corinthians, his scoring rate was some what quite decent still. still I'd sooner go for Morata if the price is right

Yeah definitely doesn't sound good. No idea how Moratta comes up with these names. Was the dude playing FIFA '09 or something?

What interests me in all this is the fact that its a loan deal. That's it.

Gabbiadini's agent was quoted saying "better 30 games with Samp than 6-7 with Juve"...while Berardi I don,t know what happened. I guess we kept our word that he'd stay another year if they stayed in Serie A and couldn't find an agreement.

problem is i would imagine Drogba's wages being not too de-similar of that of Pato's. I was all for Drogba about a season or 2 ago but now we really gotta stop with these stop gap type players like anelka, bendtner,osvaldo, boriello...

I guess that makes sense on their end and nice of Juve actually giving a crap about sassuolo wishes with berardi but to me this is a waste of time and wages, if and that's a big IF RIGHT NOW, that this even is serious

I guess we're fishing and look at every option available and then make decisions.

It reminds me the day Corinthians' fans invaded the club's training center with banners that would say things like "Pato cost 40 million but his talent is worth 0.40 cents"

Deal!

From what I'm hearing patos people reached out and Juve have shown Luke warm interest only because of the free and minimal wages

A retirement plan?

A retirement plan?

 

[adRHCP]

You'd so change your mind when he misses a PK that costs us a title and acts like it's all good. Trust me, i've seen people here trash talking Pogba when he was having a careless day...

Pato would bring many more meltdowns to this place when he starts pedestrian around every other match. Anyone who wants him now would deeply regret their decision. And i'm not even gonna say how he could get injured and miss half a season...

The only person who's opinion matters is Conte, our "decision" won't influence this, it isn't our decision.

What in the hell makes you think that ? Pato hasn't shown shiiiiit but injuries and laziness

Let's continue this here..

Pato as an 18yo, for the first time in a new league managed to score 9 goals, in just 13 starts.

Serie A only

2007/2008 - 9 goals in 13 starts (18 games in total)

2008/2009 - 15 goals in 27 starts (36 games in total)

2009/2010 - 14 goals in 19 starts (25 goals in total)

And then he kept getting injured, but to say he isn't talented and has done shit is unexplainable.

IMO if it wasn't for injuries he would have become WC, and I still think he can become a top player if he manages to stay healthy. By some of the logic here, Van Persie should have quit football after all the injuries he had.

If ifs and buts were cherries and nuts everyday would be Christmas. Pato also had a very good milan team around him gabiaddini does not. At this point Pato is a shell of been the promise he had

Gabiaddini has scored less goals in his whole Serie A career than Pato in one, and he is only two years younger.

Let's overrate our co-owned players, after all we already have our next Del Piero, Italian Cristiano Ronaldo, etc in our hands.
