Living up to the hype it would seem 
3 goals and 1 assist in 3 games. Lets see how he gets on against the goonars (assuming he's eligable to play CL football?) will be a great test for him.
class little player. cant wait to see his 2 goals on the highlights show on sat

I just finished my first season on FM08 with spurs (won the league, uefa cup and fa cup) and Pato on it is amazing, hes a signing i'm going to try and get, depending on price tag and my budget 
Do the treble and they still be tight badgers

He went for 22 million Euros how ever much that was worth when he was sold.
Although does his name not mean something like Alex the Duck.

cruz?  do me a favour mate cruz is a good forward - and maybe a bit under-rated. but cruz wasnt doing what Pato is doing when he was 18!! Channel 5 better show an AC milan game soon, to show a full game of pato. thats it im complaining to channel 5.

Let's look at the goal tallys shall we Squeegee?
We could always pull Crespo off the bench if needed and of course Adriano will come back once he's regained his form in South America 
Champions for the third year running? I think so!

pato's only played 3 or 4 games
tbf a 3rd title in a row is a foregone conclusion. i think it will be an unbeaten season too. only team i can see beating inter is roma and milan (bias lol) but roma have their off days too regularly, and milan will get a draw at best

His name is Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva, he comes from Pato Branco in Caxias do Sul, Alegre. Pato in Portuguese also means 'duck' and Brazilian footballers tend to tribute their home town by including it in their nickname, pay homeage to all the residents of where they're from. Alex Pato gained the nickname 'duck' after all this was created.
