The duck flies North

And it finally happened, to nobody's surprise. The most recent young talent from Brazil is yet again sold to Europe. Alexandre 'The Duck' Pato, from Internacional, was sold to Italy's AC Milan for US$ 20 million, after the club paid his buyout clause. With the transfer, Pato will no longer play for Inter. Meanwhile, the rossoneri hope Pato can live up to the expectations created around him since the end of last year. Could he be a new Kaka for the Italians?

    I think Pato will need some time to live up to the expectations.

    It will take him a season or two to be fully integrated into the italian game.

    But for the future, I'm sure it's a good investment for Berlusconi's Milan side. Pato is a great talent.

    Pato will finally play with his idol Ronaldo. Let's hope he doesn't start drinking and putting on too much weight... Ooops :-)
