Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Orlando City signed Alexandre Pato a little over a month ago. On the face of things it’s a good move, especially since it wasn’t a Designated Player deal, and reportedly didn’t require much, if any Targeted Allocation Money. Now that he’s here though, the question is: what can, and should be expected of him during his first year in purple?
That’s not the easiest question to answer. For one, Pato is a player who has battled injuries throughout large parts of his career, which can sap any player’s abilities.
