No one mentioning King? After we shipped 4 goals.
Ledley and Romero would be awesome. One of Gazza or Bale as attacking disruptors and goal scorers. If there was room for one more, Modric would be a help too. But Bentancur is or can be 9/10ths of Modric. And a bit bigger as well. So King and Bale in his pomp please.
I'd say because you only have two choices
Modric would control the midfield, that would take a lot of pressure off the defense, Kane would score the goals from all the chances we create.
King, Bale, Walker, Hoddle, Eriksen all could make a huge impact but you have to pick.
p.s. I agree Bentancur in form/pre-injury is a monster, and I hope we see that version back again soon.

VicarioLoved Modric, but not sure he's as much as an upgrade as these three. Loved Hoddle even more, but don't remember him single handedly winning games the way Bale and Gascoigne did.

Son
I thought we were trying to improve the team.If anything bale on the right son on the left.

Prime Kane upfront, bale right and son left doesn't improve the team?
It does, but I'd take Werner over Son on the left. Son doesn't get crosses in, isn't creative against a low block, and doesn't protect the full back. His first touch is pretty bad, but his shooting accuracy is amazing.Prime Kane upfront, bale right and son left doesn't improve the team?
Ginola and Sheringham.

He seemed to do alright when kane was feeding him though.
That was a different system.
So kane couldn't play in this system? Hold the ball up and lay it off to son? Or get a header or tap in from a cross into the box?
Of course he could, but it was a two man quick break offense.
We’d sit deep to create space in behind, room for Son to run on to accurate delivery from Kane.
Were more often than not attacking sat in defences now, not those on the turn.
They would be my two as well. Comes hard leaving out the likes of Gazza / Mackay / Blanchflower / Hoddle / Cliff Jones / Jennings et al.I think Bale is a definite as he played in a position we can currently upgrade on.
Modric, Carrick or Dembele for the 6 would significantly improve us.
Kane for obvious reasons.
Gazza for either the 8 or 10 role, but we’re currently “ok” there really, other areas are far more in need of upgrading.
I’ll go for Bale + Modric based on the positions in most need of upgrading. Though I think if you dropped Gazza in there he could be winning games on his own.
