"Do you think he could be the right man for Allegri's Milan? "It depends on how he's doing, basically. Because that's his problem, in the sense that a good portion of his career has been plagued by serious injuries, short breaks, and not feeling great. "He's actually so used to recovering from injuries that he has usually been good at recovering quickly, but he's not getting any younger...""
"What type of player is he? "He's a fighter, a team player. He knows how to keep the ball and he gets the team going. When you're desperate, you send long balls forward and he keeps them alive. "I have to say that he has also improved a lot from a technical standpoint. At the beginning, he was quite rough, but he has made significant progress.""
"That Dortmund side reached the Champions League final but did poorly in the league. I remember Füllkrug in the Champions League matches, and he was crucial. Maybe he didn't score, but he worked incredibly hard for the whole team. He fought. He was someone who truly gave it his all. I would say he's a bit like Mandzukic in the sense that he's someone who sacrifices himself, lays off the ball, makes runs, and fights."
Niclas Füllkrug completed medicals and moved from West Ham to AC Milan after a quick agreement and flight to Milan. The 32-year-old has a career marked by serious injuries, intermittent layoffs, and recurring fitness issues that create uncertainty about consistent availability. He often recovers quickly and shows resilience, but age adds risk. He offers a combative, team-oriented playing style, can hold up play, and has improved technically. His Champions League role with Dortmund demonstrated high work-rate and sacrifice, providing a physical, hard-working option for a team needing forward reinforcements.
