Oh, I knew you were pulling a fast one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That thread is from 2007, the time when I joined. And like you, I too have the scanned image saved somewhere on my old PC. If luck is on my side, I will see to it that I upload it. But really, for a fleeting second I thought you were talking about current times, Galliani mailed you like last week.

looks like the middle section of the stadium , hospitality boxes in the red zone below.

I think they're being unfair to Pato.

He's been through hell with this club. And don't tell me it's not the club's fault because his issues all stem from the way in which his body has been treated by this club from day 1!

And now for our mediocre coach to not play him so he can play Boateng as a right winger or CF FFS it's pretty ridiculous and Pato cannot be blamed if he wants to talk to his agent so his team and the club can come to an understanding about his position at Milan. I personally don't see what he said as an intent to leave but him wanting to air things out with Galliani mostly as he clearly doesn't have a very good relationship with Allegri

Hell? I wouldn't say hell. I really don't think the club is responsible for him. Surely, the doctors could have been better maybe, but the main fault is his body constitution. Allegri shares some of this responsibility as well. But saying he's gone through hell with us is really too much.

I think it is hell because you are trusting your health and care in the hands of the club. And it is hell to be so great one day and return a year later after injury on top of injury and you can't find your feat again.

I think for a prefessional player it has to be one of the worst feelings when you can't even trust your body anymore.

His physical composition was holding up just fine before they started messing around with his physique by trying to bulk him up.

He never used to get injured in his first 2 seasons, at least not with muscle injuries.

There's no doubt the club (MilanLab, fitness coaches, whatever) was at fault for his problems, but it seems he will have to worry less about injuries as he seems to be somehow cured (maybe not fully but he's not the player that couldn't last 10 minutes in a game anymore). it's now up to him to show character and win his place back. I know it's hard with Allegri being as stubborn as an @ss sometimes, but I hope he tries.

Because he was played too much when not fully fit.


Because he's not fully fit.

You can't have it both ways.

But that would mean that Allegri isn't the devil and isn't responsible for everything...

as with everything I fully agree with han (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

He was fit these last few weeks. He only took a knock in the Anderlecth game after a very heavy challenge on him. And I don't think he was played too much, yes we were dependant on him during the Leo season when the first issues started to crop up but you have to see how his injuries were treated then and if he was being pushed too soon then once again, you have to look at the medical and fitness treatment he was receiving from the club doctors.

I remember quite a lot "not fully fit players" whom Allegri played.

It's Anderlecht (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

When ever i think of Pato this goal comes to mind , hope to have him back soon !

Indeed. If I'm not wrong, it was also one of his last goals prior to the infinitive injury calvary of last season.

And he has played 5 games in the past month, starting 4 of them. It's not like he's not playing. I think Allegri is managing him fairly. He's hardly been great when he starts, certainly not to warrant being picked for every game. I mean Pazzini has only started 1 game in that team - in which he scored in - yet doesnt get to start. Don't see why Pato should be any different when he's not playing well.
