If every club could sign one former player...

[Ade's folks are ok really]

Interesting article. At least the author has taken the time to actually consider who might be the best fit for the current system and circumstances. Would've been all too easy to throw in the obvious choice(s).

Tottenham - Luka Modric

Tottenham was a really tough one. It is a mark of how strong Spurs are in certain areas that the likes of Jimmy Greaves, Gary Lineker, Paul Gascoigne, Glenn Hoddle and Gareth Bale didn’t even get much of a look-in for us. We think the place to strengthen for Tottenham is central or defensive midfield, and that meant a toss-up between Danny Blanchflower, Luka Modric and Dave Mackay.

Modric tended to play in more of an advanced role at White Hart Lane, but he has proved himself as probably the finest central midfielder in world football at Real Madrid. For that reason, it’s Modric who gets the nod for us, coming in for one of Spurs’ central or holding options whether that be Dier, Sissoko, Wanyama, Winks or Dembele.

Modric all the way.


Would be very useful for mentoring Winksy for starters.

 

[Daisuk]

Modders would be good, but I reckon Bale has got more years left.

 

[Baleforce]

Gascoigne would have a strong argument if the goal is to strengthen in CM

 

[Lemonade Money]

The answer is always Hoddle.

 

[Baleforce]

The answer is always Hoddle.

what if the question is name a competent premier league manager?

 

[StephenH]

The answer is always Hoddle.

And Greaves
And Gascoigne

But today just fancy the chicken hater!

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Jimmy Greaves end of.

 

[StephenH]

what if the question is name a competent premier league manager?

Or pundit (Mr know-it-all)

what if the question is name a competent premier league manager?

Or just a competent manager. Or even a rational human.

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

Modders I don't know how to use the like button, anyway. Although looking at Dier and Wanyama recently, the player we seem to be missing most is Carrick.

 

[StephenH]

Modric, Carrick and Dembele for my midfield

what if the question is name a competent premier league manager?

Or how much Goldblum is enough Goldblum?

Hoddle is as reasonable an answer to that as any other. It's like ICM's question about which politician respondents trust "to get a good Brexit deal".

 

[Baleforce]

Hoddle is as reasonable an answer to that as any other..

yes, yes it, a Hoddle of Goldblum.

I'd trust Goldblum with Brexit over Hoddle

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

I'd trust Goldblum with Brexit over Hoddle

Yes, but who would you cast in the role of an ubergeek who hacks into an alien spaceship to save mankind? Hoddle, every time.

One of the many beautiful things about Goldblum is his ability to multitask.
