January Transfer Window 2016

[smilezzz]

Why couldn't he make the Brazil squad for the World Cup when they had Fred and Jo up front and the likes of Bernard playing? The current manager hasn't used him either despite average Brazilian league forwards regularly called up.

Because their manager was a daft, snide cunt intent on battering other teams and hoping Neymar would pull out something special, instead of building a side with the plethora of skillful players available to him.

A lot of people wanted him but he's not got the best work rate, for one thing; plus he wasn't scoring many goals anyway. Dunga wants Brazil to grind it out, not be flashy. In some ways, Pato is a throwback to earlier Brazilian football, not the equal of but similar in style to someone like Careca.

 

I can't see it happening, really. What on earth connexion is there between Klopp and Pato, for example? But I do find the idea kind of intriguing.

Kaka gets picked over Coutinho, Brazil are a mess.

[Frankenhooker]

I'm kind of coming around to this, £14.2m is kind of a cheapish risk these days.

Pato had played more footy by the time he was 20 than most pros do in a career.

[Carvalho Diablo]

He's scored more than a 1000 goals in Brazil.

The Corinthians president apparently said it's done, though I haven't seen anything yet in the Brazilian press.

 

He's a really skilled forward. Him, Coutinho and Firmino would be something. It's true he's played more in Brazil and was injured less but the referees call everything in Brazilian football so it's a lot less physical and definitely less frenetic than the PL.

 

If true, could be an inspired signing, really. Or not. Corinthians will win the league in a walk. He's on loan to Sao Paulo, which is weird enough but Corinthians are the richest team in Brazil and if they balk at his salary no else will take him. For less money than Joe Allen? Even half fit he'd be worth it.

@zizouology said its bullshit.

[Ginny]

Hearing it's a done deal

Same thing was said about Mario. No more punts.

Up on wiki - fuck a duck

I know what you're saying. Can't really take a punt when we have Mario still on our books and Sturridge being Sturridge.

 

Seems a tenuous link anyway.

[Heinze]

It's bullshit.

LIVERPOOL have agreed to sign Alexandre Pato in January, according to Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade.

 

De Andrade has revealed that the deal is all-but done and Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web say the Brazilian will cost £14.3m.

He knows where the net is. Good with his head too.

Unfortunately that is a duck of a different feather.

[Gym Beglin]

Id sign him, then again I'm a romantic and i'd also sign Ronaldinho.

[Jay86]

So far this window, we've 100% already signed Neves and Pato, can't see either being true to be honest but they'd both be good signings.

[Boss]

He's shit, Ings is better than him. Why do we need some total crock of a once promising talent 8 years ago? May as well bring in Freddy Adu while we're at it.

I want us to get Kerlon.

[El Dangerous]

Unfortunately that is a duck of a different feather.

Should have looked at Ganso as well but he's pretty much goosed already.

[Jairzinho]

Does Damiao still play football? Sign him.

[Phoenix]

Adriano is around somewhere too.

 

We have a psychiatrist at the club.

[Lee909]

Look lads if you want mental and Brazilian stop fucking around and get my man on the phone
