Pato

[Hitman]

last night in the Coppa, it was the worst performance I have ever seen from a striker.... he was truly pathetic in every manner. The goal was good, but he was annoying as feck taking all the freekicks (none of them were close), and all the shots in the area were pathetically off-target. Very sad performance from him. His time is running out, all these chances to play and he hasn't found form / confidence yet, I dont know what more does it take... people like to blame Ibra when Pato plays bad but last night there was no Ibra.



edit:

Paolo Maldini:

What do you think of Pato?
"Pato is blessed with talent. But when you're aware of that, your progress can be more slow. The day that I see Pato carry the team, not only with his goals but also with his attitude, then I will consider him a super-champion. For now, Pato is a talent who has the potential of becoming a champion."

so is it confirmed that he will be out for a month? if so, damn. (we need a facepalm here)

It's really annoying. He took a specialized double-training session everyday for two months and after two or three games where he didn't even play the whole 90 mins he was injured again.

Obviously some factor was missing. Perhaps apart from calory-intake, physio tests, and all that techy stuff, MilanLab should take into account his extra-curricular activities with Barbara before setting up a rehab program

I am glad that at least someone still find amusement out of this situation.

Maybe Milan is cooking up something really big for Arsenal game. Look at it, Aquilani out for 30-40 days, Boateng out for 30-40 days, Pato out for 30 days. Want to bet that none of them are injured, and Milan is actually preparing some secret weapon and just when Arsenal thought they weren't even going to play, bang! all three jumped out and annihilate the opponents?

ah, no, I probably don't want to bet on that myself.

Hey hey flame, are your accounts being hacked or what? Stay cool man, most of us here agree with you on this matter even without you cursing like crazy here. No need to do that, we all know where we stand on this issue. And even though hitman is crossing the line, sorry but you still don't have rights to call him in such language... and you don't need to.

And maybe I will sound ridiculous and self-righteous to say this but please hitman, if you read this, no need to retaliate.

Alright, I chilled down a bit and corrected the post.

That looks like Hector Cuper on May 5, 2002 .

We all want Pato to succeed because his success means Milan's success. I don't think any of our agendas could ever eclipse the communal good of the Rossoneri, yes?

So please take what I say keeping that in mind...we should have sold him to PSG when we had the chance. His umpteenth injury could perhaps be tolerated at a club with a long bench, but not at ours. He is out for a month! We could have had Tevez training by now, absorbing the club's culture and tactical outlook. Instead, we have to endure Pato in the infirmary and a 1001 inquests into Milanlab.

Tevez has a better football brain than Pato. He may be stubborn and unprofessional, but that is easier to manage at a club like Milan than constant injuries and erratic form.

Now we're stuck with Pato, and PSG will probably snap up Tevez, a better player.

Thanks a lot Berlusconi.

Why not Buy Tevez NOW. Then, wait until June to allow more teams to bid up for Pato, so we can get 35-40 Million for Him. Then, we can spend the difference from the purchase of Tevez on a Midfielder. Doesn't that make more sense. And still having Pato for UCL, if he can be healthy at all from now until June.

I've been trying to hold onto Flame's argument to keep Pato for so long now. I love Pato. His Goal vs. Barcelona was mesmerizing. I also think Hitman's analysis of Pato every game is so biased and over-exaggerated. However, the injury part (more than his lack of quality or effort in games) is what bothers me.

I will officially say I'd probably cash in, but for the right price and only in June as it makes more sense tactically and financially. Big decisions should be made in June. Especially if Tevez comes here and fails or acts up, or Cassano never ever recovers (knock on wood). This way in June, we can make the decision with a clear head and understanding of the overall situation.
