January 25, 201610 yr I'm not really sure what your getting at. If he can run 100m in 11s he will be quicker than at least 90% of the players in the league, so I'm puzzled how you would describe those figures as not that quick. I was thinking match conditions not rather professional set times, 11s seconds in a match is roughly a top speed of 31km/h which is within reason for a good amount of footballers. Pato getting 11s in a professional set time now, however, is highly unlikely. He must have set it when he was 14/15 like most of the footballers in that article.
January 25, 201610 yr does any of this really matter? we're not looking for a sprinter otherwise we would sign usain bolt - we want a goal scorer lol.

I think you lost the argument a few post backs. Sorry.
January 26, 201610 yr Falcao won't be leaving, he will more than likely stay with us until the end of the season. It's a shame he cannot stay fit as I'd love to see him get more game time. I'd be happy with Pato if he comes in, we won't be paying silly money for him either. We all know Costa is first choice, but having a fit & decent back up will help.

January 26, 201610 yr Can we go back to arguing over which footballers can run a tenth of a second quicker than each other over 100M please, I was enjoying that. Edited January 26, 201610 yr by mclovin83
January 26, 201610 yr His agent has apparently said we've agreed a 6 month loan and Pato will arrive in London tomorrow.
January 26, 201610 yr His agent has apparently said we've agreed a 6 month loan and Pato will arrive in London tomorrow. I hope the first thing we do when he arrives is to get him to put on a pair of football boots and make him run 100M. I think we need some clarity here.
January 26, 201610 yr A loan deal seems fairly sensible - if he amounts to anything the option to sign him will be there, and if he's complete toss we can quietly escort him out of the exit.

January 26, 201610 yr confirmed by the new indykaila, felipe massa https://www.instagram.com/p/BBAV5e8HLYn/?taken-by=massafelipe19 welcome pato
January 26, 201610 yr nice goal for milan vs barcelona after 24 secs. shows the pace he used (maybe still has?) to have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=artTKcYwRpg&feature=player_embedded Edited January 26, 201610 yr by enigma
January 26, 201610 yr Six month loan deal is fairly low risk. Should be enough for the club to assess his form and fitness. Doubt he'll be much use to us this season, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong. We're due one of these signings to come good.
January 26, 201610 yr Six months loan is good business, means if the new manager don't want him he's not lumbered with him. Hopefully provides some competition up front as sick notes Remy and Falcao have been a big disappointment this season.
January 26, 201610 yr Confirmed by his agent: http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2016/1/26/10832504/chelsea-fc-alexandre-pato-transfer-loan-agent-confirmed

January 26, 201610 yr Okay. He is incredibly fast. Bloody hell. Well, at least he WAS incredibly fast... I think we just found the perfect replacement for Falcao
