The winter transfer market is about to begin, with several teams looking to do everything possible to strengthen their squads by addressing the various issues each has in their respective rosters. Among them is Milan, which has already made a move by acquiring Fullkrug, a striker owned by West Ham, who is moving to Italy on a loan deal with an option to buy set at 5 million.
The German, who hasn't scored since April due to numerous physical problems in England and limited playing time in various starting lineups, has decided to wear the number 9 jersey during his time with Milan. However, it is well known that this particular number doesn't always bring much luck to those who wear it: in fact, after Filippo Inzaghi, as many as twelve players have flopped with this jersey, except for Olivier Giroud, who managed to break Super Pippo's curse.
