Summer mercato 2012

Regarding the PSG rumours for Thiago Silva, apparently Milannews suggests they will offer 68m for both Thiago Silva and Pato. Personally, I wouldn't sell either right now.

We all know Thiago Silva's value to this side and we can't afford to lose him without having to completely rebuild the backline (again..)
.


As for Pato, I have faith we will see him fit next season. Jean Pierre Meersseman is in charge of rehabilitating him and if there's someone we can trust, it's him. He was the one in charge of milanlab when it was considered the leading medical facility in world football. Since then he took a step away from it and we know how we've suffered with injuries since. On the downside, it was Meersseman who said Pato was fit for Barca, only for Pato to last less than 15 minutes, but I remember Meersseman coming out afterwards to say he'd only worked with Pato for 3 weeks on a problem ongoing for 2 years. Thing is, I think if someone can genuinely help with Pato's case, then Meersseman is the man.

I am with you. At this moment, I would give Pato another fresh chance. Also, Galliani just announced that San Siro will install the new hybrid turf which should solve all the current pitch problem and hopefully much of our related injury problem, I am hopeful that Pato could stay away from injury and have a second chance with us.

Agreed, I too am all for giving Pato a second lease of life to prove himself. He's been decent for us with his 0.5 per game average and all the running he puts in when he's on the pitch. If we can somehow work him back into the team properly for the long term, we're gonna have a whole bunch of dancing Brazilians once again.
