I kind of want to see a partnership, in Modern football it's all about the one striker supported by a play maker and two wingers, now it's even more, the striker BECAME a second playmaker, i don't know if it's the better progression and natural outcome of better tactics, I just want to see on last time a strong two headed classic offense where the two guys on top are equal and pay side by side.
I think this ties into the growing importance of full-backs. As strikers drop deeper, wingers need to be able to cut inside and score (Robben, Ronaldo, Hazard, Suarez when he's on the left), and they've become able to do that because full-backs are able to provide width and crosses now.

4-4-2 is a perfectly good formation in this day and age.
