Banter 2009/2010

I'm sure it's not true. But these rummors will come up every summer just like they did with Shevchenko and just like they did with Kaka. We will have to deal with this at the end of every season.

My opinion is that Milan won't sell Pato now. Not this soon and not untill he is around 26/27. He'll obviously cost much much more then. Until then I don't think anyone has a chance of buying Pato unless they offer crazy CR money like Real did.

As bad as it sounds....I don't expect Pato to stay here for years to come and definitely not for him to stay here past his 30s. He'll definitely leave, but I don't think it'll be for another few years.

UNLESS.......Leo leaves and so does Ronaldinho. I think Pato is happy with Ronaldinho on the field. It's obvious. They have an understanding with each other and expecially Pato looks happy on the field and enjoys playing alongside Ronaldinho. Leonardo is also a good presence for him, being the man that brought him here and now his coach that stands behind him.

So with Kaka leaving last season........Milan not being as competitive (as amazing as that sounds it's true even though we are still in the running for the Scudetto) in bringing in great players to keep up with the European Powerhouses......and the couple of things that obviously keep Pato content (Dinho and Leo) leaving......we might see Pato ask to leave too after two years of dissapointments on and off the field.

I don't know how true or acurate my opinion is, but it's just that. An opinion on the Pato situation. Anyhow, like Geo said......nobody is irreplaceble. After Shevchenko, I learned to not care about the players and only love the colors no matter who stays, goes, or comes in.
