Correct. The best players in the world are the ones who have both pace and technique as well though, generally, so I think we need to be looking for a combination of the two if it's possible.

Bentley is just another random average English player who would choke at a big club. I'm amazed that anybody actually wants us to sign him, because the mistakes and lessons to be learnt are there for all to see.
