Alexandre Pato Thread

I think it is safe to say that Pato is a player that every team would want. I am just sincerely hoping that we can hold on to him for as long as we can. After the sales of Shevchenko and Kaka, I am no longer that optimistic with the management.

I think Pato is a player of Sheva-Kaka caliber, a player that you build the whole team on him. If he stays and continue like this he will leave a legacy behind him.
The problem is if managment won't invest in the team Pato may leave elsewhere...
Pato-Kaka-Ronnie may had been legendary, like MvB-Gulit-Rijkard... Ronnie still has some magic in him, did u see his passes? He is definately the best passer in europe.

Pato can surpass both Sheva and Kaka. Whilst both are legends at Milan and will remain legends in footballing history, Pato is without a doubt more naturally talented than both.

With Pato, we're talking about a talent that can reach the kind of status that I would say only Ronaldo (the Brazilian) and Zidane have managed in around 15 odd years now (only speaking of attacking talents), as literally one of the true greats of the game. Whether he reaches those heights depends mostly on his ability to gain maturity and consistency in his game.

I reiterate what I said before too, in that I really genuinely believe the only player with Pato's potential right now is Messi.

well it's too early too speak, but he's surely in the right path. His winning goals vs Roma and Real had shown that he is a player that can decide (big) matches on his own, and that's a quality that only great players possese.

Without a doubt, his potential is frightening. But will he still be here when he becomes the best striker in the world like Carlo predicted, is another question. Considering the way B&G run the club now, I fear that he will leave to a more ambitious club. At least I would, if I were him. I mean, when you're the best striker in the world, you want your team mates of the same calibre, don't you?

I really hope that he'll be playing for us many, many years to come, cementing his place as a legend when he retires. But if there's something that I learnt from Sheva and Kaka is not to expect too much. Let's enjoy and support him while he's here

Let us evaluate the situation. How great did Sheva do after he left us? Pathetic. Kaka? Flattered to deceive in RM. So far, we have been selling players just past their prime. I don't see us selling Pato, B&G are not stupid. They will only sell him when Pato has reached the top and is on the way down.

Just read on milannews that Pato is now also in doubt for United on Feb 16. Bad news all round this week.

I still believe that Mr. Pato will leave ACM soon. So the best option is to sell him now and use the money to bring in G.Rossi (ACM fan) plus a decent versatile defender like B.Ivanovic, who could play both as a CB and as a FB. That will be called as a super business strategy

Rossi? Not playing good quite frankly.....

Sure, Ivanovic would be great, but I think if Bonera is fit and Astori is returned to us, the defence would be fine.....

I think getting those two players is not worth seling Pato for.....

No Alexandre Pato in Brazil's World Cup squad... I hope he doesn't blame Milan.

can't say that I am surprised. The only tiny chance that Pato might have was ruined by his own injury. Had he stayed healthy this entire season and helped Milan win something, I am sure that it would be a much more difficult decision for Dunga to drop him.

too bad they were born in Brazil. any other country would have died for their services. Too bad for Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Pato. I don't care for Adriano, so what the heck.

better for us. he will have time to recover to full fitness. even if he will have a little bit of a cry this summer watching brasil on tv this summer...

i just cant believe someone with this much pace and match winning ability wont be able to show the world

No, my friend... Ronaldinho and Ronaldo don´t deserve Brazil NT anymore, and imo it was a right move by Dunga. Adriano too...

Regarding Pato, since Olimpycs it was clear Dunga really "hated" Pato. I don´t really know the reason, but like with Hernanes, Dunga benched Pato after the second game and it was clearly our Pato was out of his plans...
