The Milan Derby is this weekend and will likely be lit up by its cavalcade of stars. The man I'm most interested in watching? Alexandre Pato.
'The Duck', as he is known, is still only 19 but his pace with the football, his direct yet creative play and his goalscoring exploits are reminiscent of former Milan and Brazil forward Ronaldo.
Currently, Messi, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo are the undisputed top-3 performers in World football. Beyond this, the likes of Steven Gerrard, Franck Ribery, Michael Essien, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Aguero, Fernando Torres, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and quite a few more reside. Pato is on the verge of this second group but, within a couple of years, might be amongst the very, very best.
By the way, Wesley Sneijder is set to sign for Inter for about 15 million Euros. Is it just me or is a steal? Indeed, Jose Mourinho may have done the best business of the summer with the Zlatan mega-deal, the acquisitions of Etoo, Diego Milito, Thiago Motta and Lucio. This was hardly an impoverished team last year.
