Chelsea also wanted Kaká back in '02-'03... I hope we get him and he becomes the next big thing!

Yeah, it is the same situation,...I have faith in Leonardo and our strong brazilian community,...

His agent is in Milano? Then... Moratti will hijack him.

Though I think we'd be a major hit in Milanello... brazillian/italian core would be very important for his development. Not... argentinien group in the other side of Milano.

Id love to have him, one for the future rather than now, but he could explode at any moment ala kaka

He wouldn't suit Chelsea, or the Premiership, at all.

I'm a bit bias here, but it would be best for his career if he moved to Milan over Chelsea, after all, how many Brazilian's have succeeded in England?

Pato for Milan!

Leonardo would convince him to move to Milan. Inter = Argentina and Brazilians usually don't go to the EPL. He has example of many his countryman who succeded here and I'm sure good advise from R99 or Kaka would follow...

Advice from Kaka? So... Pato is going Real??

Pato can be Kaka's Messi !

Italian reports that he's in Milano for talks with... Inter. Not Milan.

Gosh! What is happening??

Signing for Inter?

Most probably that, I believe.

...what the hell are we doing then...pursuit left-overs like Cassano and Motta??

In todays market you can't be picky. Be thankful we've got already got a good striker, and are linked with guys like Cassano. Arsenal/United/Liverpool only have one top forward between them.

Just watched Pato play, he is pretty skillfull, but didnt have a good game

He should improve later on though

Are you from Canada then?

Shockingly bad result for Brazil, lost 1-0 to Poland U20s. >_<

He's 17. Still a decade to improve...

Whoa. Did someone curse the Brazilian national teams or something? Two losses in a week.

No, i watched it on Eurosport



Yeah, thats why i wasnt too critical of him

I'm sure Milan will take advantage of him being here even if he came for Inter! We will definitely have talks but we would surely lose him to Inter if we entered a bidding war.

ya thought the same, he got one good shot in from in tight but it was partially blocked if not it was probably going in.

iv watched the duck before and hes amazing for his age. He played amazingly against al-ahli. These are the type of players we need !!! Gourcuff , Nasri and DUCK !!

Well, though porty's post kind of turned me off, pato is much closer to Milan than the merda.

The merda already have like 6 strikers of top quality, pato wont commit suicide.

Plus .. If Milan really want him, they will get him

I wish that were true, as European Champions I thought things would be different from last season. But Abidal turned us down to move to Barca, Suazo turned us down to move to Inter and alot of top players have been heavily linked with Inter this summer.

They definetly have the pulling power over us, if they want somebody, we may as well look elsewhere. Maybe with Pato's age he'll be different, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to sit in the reserves for 5 years.

That's alot of money for somebody that young.

But I don't understand, why pay E25m? When they only have to pay E15m?

Moratti is so stupid! No wonder Inter is in such a big debt!!!

I better hope inter get him. Not any one can be kaka. Ancelloti was right when he said "we have to be patient here[regarding pato]"...Inter are just bloody fools...

HAhah
Rossonero!!!

I agree with you Samarth, he can't possibly become as good as Ricky but he could become a great nonetheless!

You see .. The problem here is that we (milanfan.com) are sitting at home and reading from several sources to get a feel of what is going on, in regards to Milan. And the info that we are fed are usually the bottom line info, no details.

I mean, Suazo and Abidal look for HUGE contracts, especially since they both come from clubs that have a low salary cap. What Milan offered was what it offered to it's average team players (I know this, cuz it is what the club has been saying for the past decade). That is why they choose Inter and Barca over Milan.

But if Milan really wants a player, they will reel him in. Take a good example from Nesta, he was bound to leave, and all the top clubs were hovering around him like vultures .. Madrid and Juve were in the bidding and they probably offered him really high wages, but Milan and Berlusconi wanted him, so he is playing in Milan today

It doesn't take much to acknowledge this .. I mean, who are Abidal and Suazo ?! Sure they are good players (and don't get me wrong, I do rate them highly..), but they aren't world class players. What you fail to see is Milan is on the verge of building a world class team

Sure .. They will let these buys go - referring to Abidals and Suazos- but they wont let players like Ronaldinho go by, cuz for players like Ronaldino (world class players) Milan is always first in line for them

Maybe we are just too anxious, but be sure that this club is #1 and Europe and Berlusconi's aim is to keep it that way, no matter the odds. This is the same Silvio Berlusconi from 86 till 07 and hopefully for another decade

I suppose you're right.

That's the best thing I've read all day.

Great post..

Typical merda
