We can afford to carry two or three less mobile players, but when you've only got three players with genuine pace in your entire squad, then that's a problem. Adding more of the same will not resolve that problem. From what I've seen of Bentley, he's pedestrian over more than three to five yards.
Why did Benitez take so long to work out the importance of pace? And has ANY manager bought so many pedestrian players?

Alonso, Crouch, Pennant, Morientes, Garcia, Kuyt, Josemi, Pellegrino, Aurelio, Zenden, it's fucking astonishing.
