He had 2 or 3 good seasons with Milan and he was a young lad too, bit harsh to call his time there shíte

Also he was very unfortunate with injuries

The likes of El Shaarawy also looked very good for a while but haven't done much since they burst on to the scene.

Plenty of players are unfortunate with injuries, but still have proved themselves to be class players when fit, such as Sturridge or Ramsey. Pato hasn't done anything to show himself as worthy of another crack at Europe, let alone the PL. He was loaned out from Corinthians last year, which shows how highly they rated him.

Was amazing initially at Milan, then injured/poor. Poor/average at Corinthians then better at Sao Paulo. Huge risk to sign him and especially for big money as Corithians have admitted it was a mistake to sign him.

Corithians chairman -

‘I regret buying him,’ De Andrade reportedly told ESPN Brazil.
‘But the failure is his own fault. At the time no-one was against it. Everyone knows that we’re praying day and night, hoping to sell him.’

Agree he is a risk but Spurs would really be in trouble if Kane was to get injured, badly need a number 9 back up and for Europa League

injuries are only part of Pato's story. His social life in Milan was a significant factor that and his playing style being easily nullified. Sometimes a player bursts onto the scene terrifying opposition teams. Then they figure out how to stop them. The player while skilful never adapts and the appearance is that they declined.

Pato got some horrific luck with serious injuries, there can be no doubt there. Where there is some doubt is how much other factors also affected his form.

Brighton signing Elvis Manu is a bit of a coup right? 14 goals for Feyenoord last year from inside right and still very young.

Was between them and Watford.

Had huge impact a few times coming from the bench.

All or nothing player and i am rather sad to see him go. But wouldnt get a first team place this season again and after having been on loan and now 2 years at the first team, it just appeared he just isnt 1st team material for Feyenoord.

ASOT · 30-08-2015 11:06AM

Chris Forrester signs for Peterbrough from pats, quality player hope he does well over there!

Nope, sold to Basel weeks ago.

Elia is the one who is going to do it.

Contract was running out, didnt want to sign a new one.
Off you go then.

Same was about to happen with Vilhena, Sampdoria and Feyenoord had an agreement but he doesnt want to leave.
He doesnt want to move abroad for personal reasons.

Very understandable if you know the reason but he also doesnt want to sign a new contract.

I suppose it's always the danger when you've a squad full of young prospects, when they all do well at once, you can lose them all at once, like Southampton.

Yes, Feyenoord has been paying but at the same time receiving for having the best youth academy 5x in the last 6 years.

Could have a team now that would easily win the league.

Yep, De Bruyne confirmed.

City really going for it this year

JPA · 30-08-2015 03:29PM

What's KDB like? Don't know if I've ever seen him play full game.
Who's he comparable to?

Harry Palmr · 30-08-2015 03:42PM

Well that's that then, City have to do something truly stupid or literally die in a plane crash not to win the league. Chelsea have pretty much handed it to them already.

He's a good player but doesn't really have the pace to be a winger and won't get in that team ahead of Silva - will probably play as part of a front four in place of Navas though

Arsenal's lack of & Liverpool/United's poor transfer business the last few years helps too. £58m is a bit of a laugh of a price but it's going to be more common in the PL the next few years.
Valencia signed Abdennour from Monaco. Good signing that.

30-08-2015 05:43PM

Playing KDB on the wing might mess with the system that's worked so well this season. Having 2 wingers providing proper width has given Silva a lot of room to work with, playing another #10 on the wing will change that.

Only really seen him against Arsenal last year but he did impress in those games.

Good signing considering that plenty of sides need good centre backs.
Following the De Bruyne move Wolfsburg have signed Dante & apparently Draxler too.

Harry Palmr · 30-08-2015 08:00PM

Hernandez to Leverkusen deal done according to chatter.

Van Dijk in Southampton to complete move from Celtic.

They seem to have a general "clear out" late in the Transfer Window. Perisic is moving for about 20 mil Euro to Inter.

MD1990 · 30-08-2015 08:18PM

Charlie Austin joining Man Utd is now odds on. Martial linked too

DubDani · 30-08-2015 08:24PM

19 year old Kingsley Coman from Juve to Bayern is an interesting/strange Transfer. They have loaned him for 2 years for 7 mil Euro (5 mil. for first year and 2 mil. for second year), and have then a purchase option of 21 mil. Euro.

Apparently the one player Guardiola really wanted this year.

batistuta9 · 30-08-2015 08:25PM

did they not only buy him from monaco? in January

Strange as to why they only took him on loan. Surely he needs games so going to one of top3 in Europe means he's not going to get much game time.

Austin is originating from some lad on Twitter who is making stuff up...

CSF · 30-08-2015 08:41PM

If Anthony Martial is the signing, after weeks of Pedro, Neymar, Bale, Muller, United fans are going to be seriously p*ssed. Surely United will have to pull something out of the bag to prevent their fans from losing alot of faith in the Van Gaal/Woodward combo.
