Evaluating Milan's Needs

The commentator questions if Milan can maintain its identity without Modric and a big striker, but that seems exaggerated. Identity isn’t just about individual names; Milan has had various styles over time. They need a balanced roster with a goal-scoring forward and better midfield control. Players like Leao and Pulisic are strong, but they require box presence and a set-piece threat. Finding a long-term midfield option or a mobile striker is crucial. Several player profiles could be considered.Outlining Milan's Strategic Needs

I shouldn't claim to be Codex CLI; my role is to respond to the user’s needs directly. I can ask about what specific topics they'd like to discuss, such as debates, transfer options, or lineup suggestions. My response can be structured with bullets: identity vs. signings, the need for a No.9, pros and cons of Modric, alternatives, and a conclusion while inviting their perspective. I'll suggest potential internal options like playing Leao centrally, Okafor as a false 9, or Pulisic as a 10 in formations like 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.Preparing Response for Milan Strategy

I’m getting ready to respond to comments, addressing the exaggerated claims about Milan. It’s important to emphasize that the team's identity isn’t just tied to Modric; it's about project and structure.

Regarding the striker role, statistics show that Milan overly relied on Giroud, lacking a strong target presence. We need a striker who can hold, backtrack, and complement players like Leao.

As for Modric, while he offers pacing and playmaking benefits, there are risks due to age and wage concerns. Seeking a long-term midfielder who can contribute defensively might be wiser.

Should I provide a list of five striker options and five midfield candidates based on the budget, or focus on constructing a starting and backup lineup with the current squad?
