On another note. Brazil can do US a major favor this summer. If the go on to win the Olympics with pato featuring it will be a huge boost for him. Cuz in all honesty even our of form Pato will score you 15 goals per season.
MGM together with Allegri should decide how important he is to our team. He needs trust, and he needs to start the season as Ibra`s partner otherwise sell him, Pato is not a player that will stay on the bench and wait for his opportunity. Menez is preparing him for nr. 9 in Brazilian NT that will play in WC in Brazil.Brazilian players live for that now, and it would be foolish to believe that Pato will through that away,to warm the bench in MIlan so Ibra can be as comfortable as he wants ( cheap shot)
If we bench him, guaranteed he will want to leave in the winter for sure. That way we will not be able to get the most of it. Neither money nor a suitable replacement. So Allegri needs to make a decision from the gut. If he believes he can make a set up that will incorporate both of the great, If not then sell him (though my heart will be broken).
I understand mgm and why Ibra is preferred, that is why I am asking them to make up their mind on Pato having in mind that Ibra will ask to play 100% of the time,beside those 3-6 games suspension. (I know another cheap shot, so sue me :D)
I don't think we'll sell Pato, simply because of his relationship with key figures in Milan. If anything, I can see Berlu saying he has to play if fit. Allegri has also come out and said Pato will be counted on a lot next season, though really it's difficult to not take the comment with a pinch of salt.
As normal there are quite a few new rumours today. Before I start I'm starting to understand why Brasileiro's so keen for us to look at Oscar, given his recent performances for Brazil.
Onto the news...
Gazzetta says we're interested in Balzaretti for LB, which is ok, but doesn't really interest me
Corriere Dello Sport says we're looking at Zapata as a new potential CB, which again fails to excite me
New news on Ganso, as his agent has said Milan have had an interest in the player for a long time, and the feeling is mutual (i.e. Ganso likes us). I'm unsure precisely when he said this, but the report was on forza football italia just yesterday.
From milannews..
We're looking at Kyriakos Papadopoulos who is highly rated and worth about 10m. He's our alternative to Acerbi.
We're still looking at Christian Eriksen, but his price is a problem as he's valued at 20-25m.
Strootman remains a favourite of the fans, with PSV keen to hold onto him. However, with quite a few offers coming in he could go for 10-15m.
M'Vila seems set to join the Premiership (namely Arsenal), with his value at 15-20m. If a part of the management, I'd do what I can to scupper the deal with Arsenal and get him, as I really do rate him highly.
Andreas Granqvist is the Swedish CB at Genoa. For 5m we could get him given our relationship with Preziosi.
