Personally, I think the formation might be more like this.

----------Boateng-MVB----------
-------Unknown CM/ACM-------
Pato/Robinho-------------Robinho/Cassano
---------------IBRA---------------

I know this is not the formation that won the league for Milan and why would Max change a winning formation....but this formation can work and most importantly, Milan only needs to sign ONE GREAT player to upgrade the starting 11.
I also know that Max tried it last year and failed, but it was mainly due to not having a player like MVB and injuries.

That leaves only one backup of two wing-forward position (two of Cassano/Pato/Robinho play and the rest is a sub), we need to buy
somebody else then. Okay you may count El Shaarawy, but that's still too risky, one sub for each wing and that's all we have (no other player at all). And from this fact I know that this won't be our new formation: management wanted to swap Cassano for Montolivo (if goal.com can be trusted). No way we plan to use two wing-forwards if we sell one we have and don't plan to buy new one... And even if it's true (we sell
Cassano and then buy other wing forward), your argument that we only need one more great signing with this formation, fails.

Besides, (Allegri also know that) Pato prefers centre forward role and will not take a wing position too kindly, such as under Leonardo's tenure. Pato often express that he is comfortable in no.9 position, and I
agree with him, he won't fulfill his potential on the wing.

The midfield might look like this
-------------Robinho/shawaary-------------
Prince--------------------------------flamini/gattuso/shawaary
------------------Ganso---------------

Does anybody know if he has the tactical discipline to excel in such a role?

I wish this wasn't true, I love kaka and all he's done for us in the past but that's why we should leave it in the past.. We saw what happened with sheva i think kakas return will be similar but we wont have 30 million euros to spend.. I hope we're seriously after schweinsteiger

I think the smartest thing to do would be to buy schweinsteiger as our left midfielder , and try getting kaka on loan for acm to give sharawy some time , once kaka is gone next season buy ganso then we'll have many options
