To wade in the Pato argument, i think he is a very good striker, one of the best upcoming talents in Europe.
I find it strange that Osman would say that he and Zarate are on a similar level, you're either overrating Zarate or underrating Pato. Zarate is way too selfish and way too erratic to be on a similar level to Pato. Talent wise they might not be far off, but even talent wise Pato is a much better finisher and a better striker than Zarate.
What is laughable however is that poster who said Pato was better than David Villa
I also have to agree with Hoori. Pato did extremely well judging by the cirumstances. He was one of the few positives in a poor Milan side last season. No way was Amauri better than him last season.
