Just because we did well last year without much pace up top it doesn't mean we don't need it or it wouldn't improve us.
Don't see how it's so hard to understand what options pace there would add to the team. More options for through balls, better outlet when under pressure, another dimension to trying to pass through teams etc.
The good thing is that the lack of pace is testament to our strength in other areas of the game. It's the final piece almost.
I get the feeling people are pissed off with the over hyping of speed merchants (and beasts) and the FIFA culture of "99 pace" etc and thus going the opposite way and saying it's not needed. Well it is, especially at this level and it doesn't make you a romantic or purist to dismiss this attribute.
