However, Pato is taller, stronger, in fact as we say in America "Jacked", and seems to be very fit. But the idea of pulling hamstrings as much as he changes underwear is more than worrisome. Something needs to be changed about the way he's preparing immediately. We are also noticing other Milan Players injured a lot as well, and certainly not to the degree as Pato, but we've had 2-3 Injury crises in the past 2 seasons, and something needs to be rectified here.
As for troublemakers, it doesn't seem we have those, and our style of football and family atmosphere seems good. Ibrahimovic, perhaps our most talented player is the only one who sticks out a bit, but many seem to look up to him, as opposed to secretly disliking him. However, one never knows...
You're correct we don't know Pato's lifestyle, but as with most clubs I also doubt the club itself has too much control over his personal life (as should be the case). What I'm saying is the club should make a decision with him to try and resolve his injury issues by making an agreement with him to focus on his whole life and try to avoid injuries, but only with his agreement (we can't force anything). I think we've started such actions given we sent him to the US for treatment and scans to understand his problems.
I totally agree about sorting out our medical facilities at the club, the number of injuries in general are far too much and it affects our performances.
Also agree about troublemakers, most players in our club seemed to be pretty settled family men, so it's unlikely Pato will be getting the Ronaldinho/Deco influence at Milan.
Even though he didn't score tonight, I hope that he got his confidence back. if he could score against Barcelona (again), he can finally kick start his new season. 
I too think he was great today.

He was fine against Fiorentina, I don't understand why people were disappointed in him for his 20 minutes.

Pato's words after Fiorentina
Quote:"I could even have played before this match. I’ve been training well and I’ve missed the pitch in these last two months. I felt great this evening because I was able to play like I wanted to. I was a bit unlucky hitting the post, the ball just wouldn’t go in but maybe it’ll be better on Wednesday. In the last two months, I always got to training early, 8-8.30 and I was doing double sessions every day. It was good for me. I have to thank the doctors and the physiotherapists that helped me get back playing. I’ll be working hard from now on to avoid any future injuries. I’m happy, I’ve been working on my muscles and my head. Often the injuries can be beat. I worked with a smile on my face because I wanted to get back. I got back today and now I’m happy for it. It was just a shame not to have scored. I’m not worried about the coach’s choices for Wednesday. I’ll be waiting and working hard and if I play, I’ll do my best against Barcelona because it’s an important game. Of course I want to play, anything else would be unthinkable but I have to respect the coach’s decisions. He’s the boss and makes his choices for the good of the team. I don’t judge referees but I don’t dive either. I thought it was a penalty but that’s the way it goes. You just have to think about the next game. I hope I’ll score on Wednesday.”

Come on Alex! You have all the talent to be the best in the world!

Yes, he has the talent; there is nonetheless a long way to go if he wishes to become the best in the world. Self-discipline and intelligence and luck are all needed there.
But his talent is still mouth-watering. I would rather have him with us than against us. 
I guess the question mark is back on now after Barcelona game. I don't think Pato's talent is the question, but everyone can see that Pato was nearly useless in the game. I just feel that Allegri needs to come up with something (sorry for being vague, as I don't really know what this "something" is. It could be a new system, some special training, pep talk, whatever) to get the most out of his enormous potential. Otherwise, it is like we play 10 men against 11.
Just to be clear, I am NOT asking that Pato be sold. But if we do not have a plan for him, we may as well sell him to help the team seeing how cash-strapped we are. And he still has high market value at this moment. Of course, we should keep him if we could afford him. It is better that he be one of us than one of our enemies.

This again?  Binho was invisible for the entire second half as well (and missed from 1 meter), so was Seedorf. Aquilani was terrible today. I don't see you raising question marks over their roles in the team. Pato played out of position (in favor of Ibra). Pato participated in our second goal by the way.
It's turning into a trend - going out to crucify Pato for every bad / average game. Yes, he gets crucified even for average games lately.

come on, man, how can Binho be "visible" in the second half?  Typo?
I thought Seedorf was fine. I did think that Robinho was disappointing in the first half and Aquilani was horrible thoroughout the game, and already voiced my grump in the game thread.
I didn't try to crucify Pato if you read my posts carefully. It is frustrating, but I still feel that it is not all Pato's fault, and believe that Allegri should do something to utilize his tremendous talent. If that fails, we should still try to keep him in the squad if we can afford to do so financially.
Relax, my friend.
