Pato, arguably the most promising young striker in the world, seems to have his career set at Milan, but is this where he should be? Pato is one of many options for striker along with Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Inzaghi, and Robinho so Milan is well equiped at that position. Pato is brilliant on the ball when he's healthy and is one of the best goal-scorers in world but he is only healthy for we'll call it 24 weeks of the season so the question comes up, should Milan hold on to Pato? If Berlusconi were to sell Pato right now or within a season or two, he could get up to 50-60 million euros. With that money, he could invest in another young striker such as Boletteli, Ganso, or Sturridge for under 30 miliion that would be more reliable and almost if not mroe effective. So that extra 30 million or so saved could be used to find a defensive prospect such as Bale or Ramires to help solve Milan's soon to be defensive crisis. With that said though, Pato is one of the most prolific strikers in the world already, even at such young age, and he has atleast 8-10 more solid years in him. After all, when Messi was on his way up he was also extremely injury plagued. What will most likely happen is Pato will stay for 2-3 more years and hit his prime with 2-3 magnificent seasons and then he'll get sold for big money parrelleling Kaka when he was with Milan. The thought of a healthy Pato creates nightmeres for opposing teams but with the injuries is he worth it? It's up for debate.
