Pato #9
I'm loving that. That number suits his style better than #7. Maybe a change of number will give him a change of luck

Number 9 means one thing, he wants a new start, and he wants to score a lot.

There is hope for Pato this season. He has been on the pitch for 3 minutes and still no injury!!!

I disagree about his dribbling. He gets eased off the ball, he doesn't beat his man consistently, and when he does his decision-making is very poor. The only time I'm impressed by his running with the ball is when he's got enough space to really open up his stride and use his pace (see his goal v. Barca and the one against Roma when he destroyed Mexes).

Couldn't agree any more with you. All he does is run into people when he tries to dribble. His passing is embarrassing too. But he does know how to score goals. Yes, he's good at it.

OFFICIAL: Pato will be wearing the #17 shirt with Brazil in the Olympics. Gabriel will be wearing the #22.

Gabriel has #1. only 18 on a roster....


liking Pato getting the #9 shirt. Binho switching to 7 if he stays maybe?

For me, Pato's movement in the box is his biggest strength, even if he still hasn't pulled his head out of his arse and realised it. Playing with Cassano might change that though. I can't see him reaching his potential as anything other than an out-and-out striker.

Do agree with everything you said,but i remember he was better at dribbling when he first came here.Maybe my memory is messing with me,but i remember he just got progressively shittier at it each season.

He wasn't the best out there,but he didn't just run into people and loose the ball like does now.Pato can become a upgraded version of Pippo.By that i mean he would have a better physique ,thus could utilize a bit of strength in some occasions and better dribbling skills.

I'm sure he always wanted 9 - the fans wanted him to be the new Sheva but he always wanted to be R9

has anyone seen Pato play yesterday? was on for about I think 12-15 minutes, and he touched the ball once or twice. He was again on the bench.

We sold Ibra, will sell one more of Cassano/Robinho, and put our hopes on him next season. Yep, looking forward to it....

So you blame Pato for Neymar being incredibly greedy and Brazil being complacent?

Good to hear!

Maybe he starts from the bench because his fitness is a big question mark and they want to ease him back in to football.

Exactly!

Liar!

He hasn't been a worthwhile player in a long time. Might as well keep him on the bench. He will get injured next game anyway.

Biased bullshit. He would have scored a goal if Marcello didn't fuck up a basic pass.

He could actually score more than one if Neymar tried to pass at least once instead of running into defenders and losing the ball time after time in the second half.

Pato did well to find space and make himself available in the area. Too bad he didn't recieve adequate service.

Wow.

So he is the only CF we have now? No competition? No superior player smothering his development? Apparently all fixed up and the misalignment in balance all gone? Got the shirt he always wanted? Probably focal point of attack? San Siro pitch made all pretty and nice?

Wowowow. :eek: :eek: :eek:

He is gonna burn shit up this season. :proud:
