I'm sure even the most ardent Pato fans (I consider myself one) will concede he's been out of sorts for a very long time. The great goal at the Camp Nou aside, he's only shown his talent fleetingly and has been injured far too much, halting any chance of a prolonged run in the team.

We now, of course, have a unique, and possibly unprecedented situation with our star striker (behind Ibra) not only dating a club director (and daughter of Silvio, the owner) but having apparently fertilised her too.

With that bid from PSG having been rejected (with conflicting reports as to who actually rejected it), is there a possibility that Pato's off-pitch shenanigans could cause some problems in the club?

With him being the reported father of Barbara's soon-to-arrive baby, it puts him in a very strange position where the owner is unlikely to sell him at any price and he may curry favour with the manager as a result - who is also employed by the owner.

It's a very messy situation, and I for one wish Pato hadn't let his genitals do the talking. Yes, she's very hot, but it's created possibly a bit of a paradox of a scenario, and one Milan as a whole could do without.

Laughed too much when I read this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Anyway, I don't think atm there are any problems to be caused, he clearly does not get any special treatment for who he's doing, or as you say, fertilising off the pitch.

The problems would most likely be faced should that relationship end...

Yes.

I'm interested to know the real goings on with the PSG bid, but I doubt we'll ever find out. I'm personally leaning towards Silvio wanted Pato gone, but after Pato said he didn't want to leave, Silvio decided to try and act like the good guy saying he stopped the transfer at the last minute. I'm not Pato's #1 fan to say the least, but I believe his word of Silvio's here.

I don't think this is the case, if you recall, there was a piece before any of the transfer talk started where Silvio talked to the press about Pato and wanting Allegri to play him more. (I think it was posted in the Pato thread IIRC)

The truth is we'll never know what went on behind closed doors, and will most likely never know, ala the Kaka transfer
