Which issues regarding Milan can Fülkrug resolve, and which ones can he not?
Something that’s been on my mind after watching a couple of recent Milan games with friends is how many different problems fans expect one striker to fix. I remember a similar situation years ago when everyone thought a new signing would magically solve build-up, finishing, and even pressing. With Fullkrug, I’m trying to be more realistic. He might help in some areas, but I doubt he’s a cure-all. It made me wonder which issues he could actually improve and which ones are clearly deeper team problems.

If you look at it calmly, Fullkrug could help with things like hold-up play, aerial presence, and giving defenders a reference point, but he won’t suddenly fix chance creation or make the midfield more creative. That’s how I see it from watching different leagues over the years. I read https://sempremilan.com/few-goals-lots-of-games-missed-what-questions-does-fullkrug-answer-for-milan
recently, and it lays out pretty clearly what he can bring and what expectations should probably stay in check. From experience, transfers work best when fans accept limits as well as strengths.
