Sorry for the scare. Agreed on the video not capturing all of his 'very' best moments, but I was still so touched I just had to post and share it. I also hope he can make a comeback some day with us &. I wish him all the well regardless.

No point in celebrating if someone leaves the club for €15 million when he could have been sold exactly one year ago for €35 million.

The difference is by selling him to Corinthians we got ourselves the right of first refusal.

Is that official?

I believe you both. Which brings me back to knowing nothing.

I believe it was just reports from various outlets, of course these things are never really made official

First injury for Pato in Brazil: a sprained ankle.

MilanLab's fault.

LOL, what injury?

Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato has admitted he will 'never forget' the support of the Milan fans.

The Brazilian forward left the Rossoneri in January after six years at San Siro, but he has insisted that his mind is focused on the present, and has ruled out a return to the club.

“I will never forget the support of Milan,” he told reporters. “They were a team that gave me so much.

“I got there when I was 17, but I have never said anything about a return.

“I have a four-year contract with Corinthians and I am very happy here.

“My head is on the present.”

What kind of injury/how serious is it? any idea?

Pato on target but injured in Corinthians win

SAO PAULO, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Brazil internationals Alexandre Pato and Paulinho were both on target as Corinthians defeated Tijuana 3-0 in their Copa Libertadores Group 5 clash on Wednesday.

Former Milan striker Pato bundled in from close range after Renato Augusto's fierce strike rebounded off the bar before Peru forward Paolo Guerrero made it 2-0 with a sublime first-time turn and finish following Alessandro's cross.

Midfielder Paulinho scored the Brazilian outfit's third at the Pacaembu Stadium stadium by heading in after an Augusto set-piece.

The victory was soured slightly by the latest setback to the injury-prone Pato, who was substituted in the first half with a right thigh strain.

The 23-year-old was playing in his 11th consecutive match, a feat he had not achieved since 2009 due to a series of muscle problems.

Defending champions Corinthians are now second in the Group 5 standings, two points behind top-placed Tijuana.

In other matches on Wednesday, Ronaldinho's Atletico Mineiro overcame The Strongest 2-1, Olimpia trounced Deportivo Lara 5-1 and Toluca held Barcelona de Guayaquil to a goalless draw.

That's a bad miss I'd blame it on The Big Phuck for not calling him up for the Conf. Cup

Every time there's a new post in here I click expecting to see the news of a bad injury but no, that stuff only happened at Milan. injury prone player my thumb.

Not to mention all his injuries have turned him into a mediocre player.

He was doing fine in the "tough" Serie A before the bulking up... we messed him up through bad treatment. that's what still bothers me.


Sad but true. I'm still hoping he can pick himself up. it's only been ~5 months since he's been free of injuries and playing with some regularity. I'm not sure if someone can lose their talent so as long as he can make full physical/mental recovery he should be fine. if he doesn't have the strength to do it then what a waste.

+1
Don't worry SES-Pato-Balo = the invincibles
Coming soon

Dreaming of that day!

When was that?

Milan to recall Pato?
By Football Italia staff

There are reports Alexandre Pato will return to Milan this summer due to Giampaolo Pazzini’s injury, just five months after joining Corinthians.

Pazzini will be out of action for four to six months after undergoing knee surgery this week.

It leaves the Rossoneri with a striker shortage and rather than bring in another new player, the Corriere dello Sport claims they will recall Pato.

Milan President Silvio Berlusconi was always adamant the move to Corinthians was temporary and that he’d return to San Siro in two years.

The calendar could be moved forward by the Pazzini situation, at least for six months until the Italian international can return to fitness in January.

Pato requested a move to Brazil so he could regain his fitness ahead of the World Cup and because he missed his homeland.

The 23-year-old is still dating Barbara Berlusconi, the daughter of Milan President Silvio.

Other options include former Milan forwards Alessandro Matri and Marco Borriello, now at Juventus and Genoa respectively.

I do like Matri and he reminds me a little of Pazzini in that he never actually gets a chance and when he does he more often than not will get you a goal. I think it also says a lot of how crap we are at developing players that Matri is about the best Milan academy player out there right now.

The best out of the academy are with us already. Abate and DS.

Matri, as I've always maintained is pretty mediocre. Pazzini is easily the better player between the 2, and you know I was never a huge fan of his. But at least with Pazzo you know what you're getting. Consistant, hard work and effort. Matri is simply a poacher who goes through erratic patches of form.

Eliminated from Copa Libertadores.
