So Pato is finally going to make his Milan debut tonight against Napoli, how do you think he will fair and do you think all the hype is justified?

Do you think he'l score 30goals in 6months like Berlusconi said?? He also said he would get a brace tonight but he only scored one, what an idiot Berlusconi is, clearly he knows nothing about football if he truly thinks that.

I think berlusconi was joking when he spoke about the 30 goals, without considering he is old and a little out of mind

Pato is the most promising player I've seen in many many years, more than Messi and Ronaldo. if Milan works him well he will become huge, I can see him getting the world's best player award in a few seasons and it scares me Shocked

He impressed me. Great technique and pace seems promising to me. And he also scored a beautiful goal imho, wasn't an easy one with the pressure of the CB of Napoli

the way he dominates that dificult ball, the way he calmly pulls it to the net with his foot, taking away from the keepers range...that is what differs him from mortal players

Now that I saw him play, well honestly I am not that impressed. He had good control, but that goal was not difficult.

the difficult part of the goal wasnt the finish itself, it was to dominate that long ball, which was rather a 'clear off' ball than a long pass. few players have enough class to receive the ball, keep it away from the defender and under control with a single touch

He's an excelent player.

I'm a huge fan, since he debuted playing for Internacional in a match against Palmeiras.
