(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I like it. "QUACK QUACK!" (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I like how Pato never gives up following the ball btw. that's not the first time he scores like this.

Last season he scored 9 goals in 18 games, which is very good for an 18-year old who just got transferred to one of the biggest clubs in the World.
How much goals do you think he will score this season? Or have you guys thought about loaning him is a better option?

Pato? Loaning? Please be kidding...

I could only imagine the amount of bullets sent to Milan if that happened..

What are you doing on anyways, isn't it like.. 3:30 where you are? Have you not gone to sleep yet, or do you just wake up really early? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think Pato is a bit lazy. In the last games of the season he did not seem to give 100%.

Just don't feel like sleeping sometimes... But right on with the time difference calculation...



I've been thinking the exact same thing... He always looks lethargic for some reason and especially after his injury last season he started completely disappearing in games. But on the other hand, he accepts responsibility really well and can lead the attack when needed.

No player is perfect.

Well we can't blame him for being a bit wary of getting another injury after just recovering from one.

He's still young so it's understandable, even experianced players go through this.

I'm counting on 20 goals or more [in all competitions; including friendlies] IF he doesn't get injured too much, or for a long time.


Well said (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Before that ankle injury he looked so charged up but after that his form declined a bit. let's say he's still 18-19 and the pressure of heavy trainings and playing almost two times a week mixed with a few mysterious injuries were too much for him. I think it's unfair and premature to call him lazy.

After his injury he didnt start nearly as much, cuz pippo was on such good form. I think that had a little to do with him not goin 100%. He was prolly frustrated about losing his starting spot and it effected his work eithic like it would most 18yr olds.

I'm not sure if he was frustrated about losing his place but he definitely proved Ancelotti wrong in the last game (IMG:http://www.pic4ever.com/images/character0144.gif)

I'm not saying Ale did not put on much effort deliberately. Maybe he was afraid he would get injured again. But he certainly did not use his abilities so much, especially his pace and acceleration. And he did the same in that friendly game with Brazil against Paraguay. I hope his injury really has not affected him. At least not permanently. It's be a big shame!

I think he's just being cautious. I mean he's still only 18, being injured is the last thing he wants to happen.

I wasn't kidding when I asked about loaning Pato, pkillermax. I know it's some BS from sites where a rumour has it that Milan could loan it him out if we bring a WC striker. I was just curious about the reaction of you lot about loaning him out.

zdrossoneri, I know you're a big fan of Pato, probably biggest here. I disagree with you one thing though. He will score 20 goals excluding friendlies. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Well, I don't know who that source is amanick, but teams very rarely loan out their first team players. In Pato's case, it's out of question.

I was just being cautious (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

[before his debut, I predicted 10 goals, and he scored 9 btw (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ]


If we bring a WC striker Paloschi will have to sacrifice his place. that is a certainty. though I hope for a WC striker and Paloschi stay...

And I predicted he'd be as big a hit as Emerson.. I was wrong.
