You just cured her tic zd. Good on you! She was bursting to say quack quack for weeks!!

Pato? Loaning? Please be kidding...

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? 

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

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.

How much goals do you think he will score this season?

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

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. 

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.

[before his debut, I predicted 10 goals, and he scored 9 btw]

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

Nice pictures. wish they didn't have those stupid watermarks on them...

Alexander Pato... When he was 16.

Yeah... You inspired me to do so...

PATO: "I'm happy to start a new season"
7/16/2008

MILANELLO - These are the declarations of Alexandre Pato on the day of the team's gathering at the Rossoneri's sports centre of Milanello: "I'm happy to be here to start a new season and I'm happy about the arrival of Ronaldinho. On Monday I will start my olympic adventure with the shirt of the national team and I thank Milan for offering me this opportunity. First I want to do well with the national team and then with Milan."

Pato: With Dinho we can win it all

Sunday 20 July, 2008

Alexandre Pato trusts with Ronaldinho by his side he can win the Olympics, Scudetto and UEFA Cup.

The Milan starlet will be in Beijing with his new club teammate next month for Brazil’s Olympic squad and believes it’ll be the start of a beautiful partnership.

“With this team, we can win it all. Kaka and Ronaldinho are both very important for Milan, but they play different roles,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Ronaldinho tends to spread out wide more and if Kaka does too, then they’ll both give me the ball in the centre to score. Easy, eh?”

The Selecao trio has sparked a wave of enthusiasm with more than 10,000 season tickets sold since Dinho’s £18m move from Barcelona was confirmed.

“I am ready to train up as a centre-forward. If Carlo Ancelotti sees me in this role, then that is not a problem for me,” continued Pato.

“I am young and want to learn many things, the secrets of the sport. I scored nine goals in half a Serie A season, but I know I can do more. Much more.”

It will be his first full campaign with the Rossoneri, as due to age restrictions he could not sign the contract until he had turned 18.

“The most difficult thing to face was tactical, as in Brazil I was accustomed to running forward and waiting for the long ball from a teammate.

“Ancelotti asked for a different movement, as I have to go towards the ball and then run into space. It took me a while, but I’ve got it now.

“I am happy the way my first Italian season went, but Milan were unable to qualify for the Champions League and that made me very angry. Now I want to help my team get back into the competition.”

Now Pato will have the support of Kaka and Ronaldinho, he pledges to bring a Selecao sensation to San Siro.

“I haven’t changed, but I have grown up and learned what it means to play football in Italy. I can guarantee I’ll improve. You haven’t seen the real Pato yet.”

^^^ madrid sign marcelo, milan sign grimi. that about explains the recent situation...

What about this? Milan sign Pato, Madrid sign Higuain...

In the end we got the best talent.

what about robinho?

sneijder?

diarra?

ramos?

Drenthe's got potental. hes still just 21. Higuain agreed, Robinho didnt even start performing till 2yrs ago

[Robinho? Pato is way better IMO]

Well, Real buy a lot, but not all of them succeed. *cough* Drenthe, Higuain, etc. *cough*.

Marcelo is certainly not a great player right now. Far from it. But he's very good and if he keeps improving he's certainly going to be among the best.
In my opinion Drenthe has huge potential but he took the step too early... same as Higuain minus the potential...

Of course... Brocchinho is da man!

i dunno how pato is currently better robinho, he was key factor in real winning the league. arguably their best player last year. although i do belive pato has more potential and will be a star for the future.

point is we need more young talent. we arent going to get by with just pato.

anyways i dont buy into this everything real touches turns to shite outlook. for a while their management was retarded and they can still be asses but they've been buying lots of quality players, all of whom have been contributing.

the only one i can really think of that has been a disapointment is drenthe and well they have so many wide players on the left side of midfield, not much room for him. but he will improve.

You don't like Higuain? I think he's awesome. He was quite amazing towards the end of last season especially.
