So, let's see what will happen here. I doubt there will be much competition.

Zlatan, we wouldn't have won the league without him, simple as.

QUOTE (Danny @ Jul 19 2011, 07:21 PM)  I'd just really like to see Pato TRULY step up to the plate this season and FINALLY realise his potential. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, if I were you. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) At least not this season. If he stays on till 25, that is when I believe, he will be at his absolute peak and injury-free, so we can expect great things from him then. Any sooner, would be a bonus, that's just my opinion of course. Something about Pato tells me he will take his sweet time.

Agreed to a degree, but I'd like to give his body a chance to fully develop. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Maybe he'll brush off these injuries by then, or at least lessen the frequency once his muscles fully grow. Irrespective of that, he'll still have the perfect blend of experience, strength, and mental toughness then to really shine. Sure it could be sooner than that, or even a bit later, but most players do have a golden season at their peak.

I agree with acid
Also I voted for Zlatan, but I think some under estimate how influential Pato was for us in the 2nd part of the season. Ibra was more influential, but Pato also stepped up with some big goals for us. And I think it's unfar to say that he is yet to fulfill any of the potential he had.
he's yet to be a 20+ scorer for us, agreed that is a disappointment, as well as his CL performances (aside from the Real game), but in the league this season he truely stepped up when we needed him the most.
As for The 20+ season, I think it will come once he has a season where he's injury free, or at least only has slight injuries that don't sideline him for months on end like he keeps having. I'm also hoping the CL performances will come through experience. Taking into consideration that he's only really played 2 seasons in the competition you can expect miracles out of him

Injury prone players are prone to injury. It's not going to stop. He may hit 20 in all comps if he has an amazing season, but like RvP, he just can't stay fit so will probably never hit 20 in the league. But if someone else can do that, it doesn't matter so much.

I think if he's 25 and still having such issues with muscular injuries then we can talk about it plagueing him for his entire career. I feel it's too early to say since his body was/is still developing. QUOTE (acid911 @ Jul 25 2011, 08:49 PM)  Totally and wholeheartedly agreed. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I thought no one would notice. When Iba lost his mojo due to injuries and suspensions, it was Pato who stepped up. Big time. The brace in the derby match vs inter was stuff that makes legends. Yep, and the performance against Napoli, the goal vs Chievo and so on.

Though what Kurt says is also true, once an injury-prone player, always an injury-prone player. There have been exceptions to this rule, but you never can tell.

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) And the shirt off, and fist pumps and all that.
