It's official. He's signed.
With Pato and Falcao, we just need to Benjamin Button them a few years and we're all good.

Finally this is over.
A one in three scoring record in Brazil recently. Awful injury problems have blighted his career. I don't think this one looks good for Chelsea.

Always been a fan of Pato. Really hope he does well in England, the football gods really owe him some.
Why couldn't we have signed him on loan?
Why would you want to?
It's a clever, win-win signing for Chelsea.
Why does Putin siphon half his wages or something? I suppose it will keep Roman alive for a few weeks longer at least.
Him being shit for 6 months, taking the place of a potentially better player and then fecking off to China or America is not a "win".
He looks very plump. Certainly looks to be living the life in Brazil.
Not sure why Chelsea of all teams went for him when they have a proven back up striker in Remy who hardly plays

He was once a player who would walk into any squad in the world. It's worth the gamble.
He's not old enough to be completely shot like the past-prime Falcao, and it is not unreasonable to think he'll have a second wind.
If he works out, great. You can get him on the cheap.
He ends up a failure, you still have Remy and Costa... and he can piss off to ChinAmerica, without Chelsea having forked out a fortune.
Worth the risk on a loan, he's a has-been but we start one of those every week so we could have added him into the rotation for the RW.
I think he will surprise you. Still a good player.
I really hope so. Just a bit jaded when it comes to once excellent forwards stinking up Stamford Bridge.
Apparently Chelsea are the biggest January 'panic spenders' in recent PL history. This looks an awful panic buy in fairness.
We've not bought him. Panic 6 month loan? Yeah, probably.
The Duck is here, he may be a quacking signing.
Why are we the only club that make these stupid signings? Are we purposefully trying to feck ourselves over? Are the stupid tosspots in charge so arrogant that they think we can self sabotage and still be competitive?
Left Chelsea.
Ok
Did he ever play?
I thought it was interesting anyway
Pointless signing along with Falcao
Being interesting to see how much Chelsea have paid these 2 in wages for essentially doing feck all

You could be forgiven for not realising he played for Chelsea.
Aye. Just came in to ask this. Don't think I saw him play even 1 minute. I obviously didn't watch all Chelsea matches either.
Yep scored a pen on his debut. Then don't think he ever played again. Must have looked bebe-esque in training.
There were some on the caf who were moaning we didn't sign him when Chelsea did.
I watched him twice in the Brazilian league prior to his move and said he is shit, so no surprise here.
Quite a lot of people wanted him here too.
This has disaster written all over before a ball was kicked.

Break the bank....
Wasn't he quite good in his two games for Chelsea?
I don't understand why youngsters are signing for Chelsea.....they will never get a fair chance.....Abraham would have done better than Pato.
And that was 5 years ago.Too many people remember him from FIFA 11:
He's probably crap on Fifa now too.
I thought so.Wasn't he quite good in his two games for Chelsea?
You called it.
That goal vs Barca in 11/12. So out of the blue. Could have been a really special player if it wasn't for those injuries.
Thanks to Moyes that you didn't sign Rooney in a 5yr 300k/wk contract. You lose some, win some.
Yeh. That's the last good memory I have about him.
