Very interesting story here:
http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=391462
According to Capello (and I believe the man) we could have got Pato for 2 mil. Also we had a bid for Chivu in April worth 6 mil. And it was all done. But here it comes, Mijatovich said, 'He is too young' and about Chivu he said..'WE dont like players from Italy'. I'm not that suprised, but our board are a bit childish. (Marcelo was 18, Higuain 19. So why dont you get Pato who was 17?) O well f*ck it, we have a superb squad.
