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.

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 ….
