It's more to do with the fact that the club are desperate to sell him iirc. He has been out on loan, talked **** about them constantly and now faces the prospect of heading back there.

He's got form for moaning to be fair. Moaned about Milan when he left there. Few years on and he doesn't put them down like he did.
I think it was frustration that led him to slag Milan off. I do hope he does well now though, can't blame him for being gutted how his career went. Smashing in goals as a teenager to getting repeated injury's and having to go back to Brazil and start again.
Last interview I read from him he seemed to have a good attitude and wants to prove himself. If Chelsea get 'season 2 Milan Pato' then he is something for defenses to seriously worry about

Another Swansea win.
Getting tighter and tighter down there.

Edging toward inserting the tip. How deep it goes in is to be determined the next 4 months.
It's more like someone trying to mug you with a spoon.

To be fair you just described the modern day footballer.
More like blunt toothpick or ear bud.
Sounds like a quote from Fifty Shades of Grey, you sure we still talkin' about knifes?

Costa looked pretty brilliant today again, so much more like the Costa we saw at the start of last season. I wonder if he and Jose didn't really mesh properly, in the way that you sometimes see people who are "perfect" for another just clash instead. He looks a lot more relaxed since Hiddink has come in, maybe Jose's way of doing things was just winding him up, causing him to pick more fights, drift wide to try and get involved in the buildup and really putting his passion to ill use. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. Would be pretty funny too, if the "ideal Mourinho player" ended up being one that couldn't consistently thrive under him.

I think it is no brainer
But still. That is **** lot of money for him. Those Chinese clubs are loaded. Wonder if it will be reinvested this windows or waiting for new manager and summer.
Are there any more news about Pato? Somewhere i readed that it might be loan deal with option to permaneta deal.

They pay their own players insane wages too, it's crazy how much money they dump into pretty much everything.
Personally I would use the money for the Texeira's deal. Offer Shaktar the extra £3/5m that Liverpool are hesitating on then offer him considerably better wages. Ideal target for us, and stops a domestic rival from strengthening.
Pato, AFAIK, is being stalled a little bit whilst we look into other deals. From what's been said, we'll most likely get him if we miss out on Texeira/another transfer that is apparently in the works.

Did you just call us a 'rival?' Steady wack. You'll be looked down on unfavourably around these parts from some for that.
.But yeah, as soon as I saw that mind blowing fee for Ramires, that was my first fear too. Teixeira. Not sure Boston would drop the wages you'd be willing to. He's making all the right noises about only wanting to come to us (more of that emerged overnight), and we are still negotiating. But money ultimately talks.
This is going to be a tense one right up until the deadline.

We're both going to finish outside the top 4, so rival is pretty accurate for this year at least
It will definitely be an interesting one. I do wonder why you want him though. He's really good playing as a striker in a withdrawn role. You already have that in Firmino, and a big part of what makes those kind of systems work is having a creative player in central midfield to make up for the chances you lose by not playing an outright 10. As good as the Welsh Xavi and Can are, they're not that. Playing Tex, Firmino and Coutinho at the same time would be madness as well, you'd have so little width. Clyne can get forward but what about leftback? It just seems like a weird one really. You'd surely be much better served by getting a new CM, a new LB and looking for a genuine winger.
I can sort of see
----Firmino----
X-Coutinho-Tex
but you would still need to sign another player for the leftwing in that case, someone who will genuinely stretch play. You will also need Coutinho to consistently create pretty much every game.
