From our current team was my point, Pato is the best scorer. Pazzini did look good, but come on, right place right time. And sure, is that a skill........... debatable.
Pato vs inter, barca, madrid, chievo napoli etc. He does it when he is fit. And these are all games that have helped the club, either in the public eye, or in the league.
I know Pato being injured is of no use to the club, but when it comes down to it, would any of us rather have a 23 year old with these stats who when plays is deadly?
Or would we rather have 4 more constant/nocerinho/urby/muntari type players?
I know that in my train of thought, having Pato adds hope to the team, and possibly a world class player. Even if he doesnt play, having him makes me feel like the club still has hope.
For the money we would get..... say 20 million, who could add such hope?
no one.
actually what's highly debateable is thathe's a better goal scorer than pazzo. He's more technically gifted. Capable of more spectacular... doesn't make him better.
you forget to point out, pazzo has had 3 seasons where hes scored more goals than pato's BEST season.
you forget to point out, pato's best season, where he scored 15... he had the worlds 2nd most technical midfield (and it's debateable if it was #1).
Pato had kaka, pirlo, beckham, seedorf. That had it's defensive shortcomings which is why we didn't win titles but it's ability to create is unquestionable.
Pazzo on the otherhand scores a hat trick with NO ONE who touches any of those 4 technically or vision wise in midfield. why? Because he is a fight and yes that is a skill. He knows how to move around the box.
Pazzo scored goals more regularly on 2 teams which were FAR less technical than anything Pato has played with.

My biggest pet peeve in the world, is people dismissing pippo, higuain, falcao, and strikers who understand proper box movement, positioning, and reading of the game off ball as 'luck'
IMO this is the most important skill of a striker and hardest to learn. Much harder than 'decisive pass'
edit- Pato has 'the talent' to be the best forward on the team. He's not their yet. Now, the question is, what indiciation has he given you he'll ever get there? His attitude is disgusting, imo. Really little commitment, little respect for the club, little work ethic. Mostly, he seems immature as fuck. He needs to fucking earn it, and not be given a starting spot 'for politics'
setting him to succeed or maybe he wont even finish that 2 minutes on his two legs
he was always fit before they made him bulk.
for being defensive god as a RB
lol
