Yeah you would think there would be basic conversations to start with.

100%

It’s not helpful to either party to be misaligned at the start and I assume Pato wants to find a club asap as he needs to play to earn a sensible UK based contract in the summer.

I don’t have any inside info on this but I would be amazed if Pato even started training with us with a view to earning a contract unless his package requirements were seen to be broadly ok.

£7k vs £15k is not broadly aligned.

Therefore either GIMOC is wrong or he didn’t join us initially to earn a contract but just to get fit and our view on him changed during those training sessions.

But on the other hand 7k a week against nothing without a contract? I would be happy for him to join on 7k a week but not 15k a week. He would have to prove his fitness and ability to get that much.

I don’t actually think his record is that good over his career, unless I’m missing something?

13 goal contributions last season for Swansea, in what might have been his best ever season in the Championship. Turned down a new deal.

Just the Championship

348 games, 55 goals, 52 assists. 7 goals and 6 assists last season.

That's if he still has it in his locker.

There's no doubt he has been a very good Championship player but he's 33 and been released from an average MLS side . Would have taken him many times over in previous seasons but players can age very quickly so I wouldn't be rushing to sign him and pin a lot of hope on him turning our fortunes round

I think a lot might be focusing on the MLS thing. Just a few months ago people would have been creaming over getting him from Swansea where he had just got 7 goals and 6 assists.

He could well be miles past it but I'm hoping if he is then it will be spotted while he's training with us.

I don’t think anyone would have been excited had we signed him in this summer or the one before ….

If you had offered me a swap for Kasey Palmer I'd have been over the moon. (and I'm somebody who often stuck up for him).

as a midfielder, one goal and assist every 6 / 7 games isn’t bad from midfield I guess, depending where he’s playing

No contract or talk of signing was ever on the table. This may change but he has only been training to keep up his fitness.
He would welcome a short term contract and all, but any talk on here of him signing was never the case.

Id sign him just to stop his scoring against us tbh!

His record when facing us going back to his Walsall days is quite good if my memory serves rightly

I always got that feeling about James Collins. He was a right c**t when we played Swindon away and he scored twice after we took a 2-0 lead.

gave it stacks under no provocation

He is a city fan. A lot of his mates follow us, probably a wind up.
Came to watch is a Villa training top once when he played for them just to noise his pals up.

I actually met him a few years ago when he was a Forest player.. He came to a music festival in the village with his mates to watch his brother who was in one of the bands. My Nottingham born, Forest supporting, grandsons recognised him and we had a brief chat.
