Pato yet to make debut, exposing Chelsea's transfer flaws (The Associated Press)

FILE - This is a Friday, Jan. 11, 2013 file photo of former AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato as he poses wearing a Corinthians jersey during his presentation as Corinthians' new soccer player in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Putting all the blame on Jose Mourinho for Chelsea's rapid downfall is easy _ but wrong. After all, Mourinho isn't the manager who signed Alexandre Pato, the forward who seems no closer to making his debut after more than six weeks with the club. The only sign of progress at Stamford Bridge since Mourinho was jettisoned in December is an unbeaten run in the Premier League that removed the threat of relegation for the champions.
