he will shine in time i have no doubt about kaka's contributions.

Anyway... back to Alexandre Pato.

Here's a video where Pato visits Nike HQ (in Oregon - USA): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh5pcuEpJYw



And here's a clip on our official youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ld-tLOZ4W4

Nice video. Cheers Porty.

Thanks Porty

It's 4 goals actually.

And 999999999992189739176491769469163 games.

Thank you again Porty, for both posts.

Thanks, Porty, for two excellent posts - the images in particular.

someone ban this guy and delete his posts!!

What he said about Pato?!

Something like.. Pato still hasn't scored in the CL, he isn't fit to shine Gila's boots!

My.. whatever they speak in Serbia isn't great, though. So I could be wrong.

LOL

Well Pato proved a lot of people wrong. [even you were not so sure about his abilities at first ]. I know it's too early to say that, but he will be the next big thing in football.

He certainly has proved alot of people wrong, including me. I thought he'd maybe get 5 goals by the end of the season, but not only has he done that in 8 games his performances have been fantastic.

His future certainly looks very bright. Unfortunately he'll probably peak very early, it's very difficult to stay this great when you start so young. Just look at Raul the last few seasons.

Honestly I don't see a reason for that to happen. there are a lot of players who started brightly and never really peaked. I mean why Raul? I'd rather compare him to Ronaldo, because there are a lot more similarities between the two than him and Raul. of course every player has his ups and downs, no one can always stay at top. but that's different to some players' case who peaked and never managed to repeat the top form they once had, like Raul or R10. be optimistic!

If he is like Ronaldo, let's just hope he avoids all of those injuries!

You also thought he will make as much of an impact as Ibrahim B...



God!!...

You just don't know anything about the influence Ba has in the dressing room!!

I was certainly wrong there. But, we haven't seen Ba play yet, maybe he's even better than Pato?

Yes, he's kept as our secret weapon

LOL

Poor Ba! exactly what's his role in this club? to play around with Yoann?!

I love what we are doing with Ba. He wanted to end his career with Milan and we're doing him a favor... that's all.

A shame it's a 18 yo kid the only player with motivation in our club. Though he's a phenomenon.

He truly is. To be honest I never believed he would come out so good. I had seen him before and knew of his potential but to see him play like this?? And he gets better with every game...

His technique is stunning, and the better part: he can only improve!

Wish he had scored that volley, it would have been a stunning goal!

I'm really concerned that yesterday was like the second or third time his ankle injury seemed to have been reaggravated.

Could it be his night? He's getting better with every game...

He can cause a lot troubles for them. maybe scoring a goal would be too much to ask, but anything can happen. he's destined to make differences.

wow hes improved so much. At the youth world cup(i live in canada) i watched him and he wasn't all that good. I mean he was good but i mean no phenomeno ****. But what the coaches and carlo have done with him he's amazing now. He blows bojan dos santos and all the other young players out of the water.

He lacks sharpness in front of goal and could make better decisions at times. All will be improved with time. He got first two CL games out of the way, many to come!

2 matches in CL 07/08, no goals.

I'm sure he'll score next season in this competition.

today he played like a school kid.

He was among the few that played good... what more could he have done with such little support.

He really is our biggest victory of the season!!!

^^^

It's always how an era ends, with one small spark to light the way to the future.

For Man U it was Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsenal it was Fabregas..

@ Bluesummers

I'm not saying it was his best game, but I don't think he played like a school kid either. he's showing his great potential in every game.




Couldn't agree with you two more

Today vs. Empoli, he scored his 6th goal in Serie A (10 matches).

6 in 10... what more can I say than 'wow'?!

his new shoes are cool, different than other people's shoes. Because most people wear the orange but he wears the red which suits him

New pato compilation , the effects suck but its ok...

the school kid seems to be scoring in almost every match

Pato and Kaka were called up by Dunga for Brazil's upcoming friendly v. Sweden.

Ronaldinho was NOT called up.

Will Pato be a first team player for Brazil in 2010 World Cup? I think so.

Oh! And the gossip papers are quoting an interview given to a Brazilian journalist (Porty, you may want to look for this) saying that Pato and the lovely Sthefany are engaged.

YES!!


Don't even doubt about it.

I hope he will make it this time!

Why should he?


Will the sky be blue in 2010?


That's great!!! YES!!! I want him to get settled as soon as possible. Like my grandpa says, marriage is conformation.

no, it'll be red and black cause we gonna destroy this world with our skill.

Amen to that, mate. Hopefully, once that happens, you'll update your nick to RedandBlacksummers, cause Blue will be history by then.

Boy, this grandpa of yours seems like a fun little character. Too bad I don't have either of my grandparents both from my mothers and fathers side. I was at most five when the last one passed away, so can't recall time spent with any of them. You are one lucky duck, dst.

You just ****ed up my point!


He is a truly great man! Too bad you did not have the chance to meet them at a more advanced age, grandpa's are almost always great guys!
