We need pace

There is nothing denying it, we need to inject some pace in our squad. It could have been said other years that we had a weakness on that side, but currently it is even worse. The games Kaka don't play it can often look like we play at a snails pace. Of coruse this is not helped by several players looking uninterested and/or possible exhausted players due to WC and injuries.

The new player Gourcuff hardly is a speedster either, but at least he have good movement.

We need both pacy fullbacks and some really fast forward, our current forward line pretty much never burns opponents on pace. Currently we have only Kaka and Serginho (which pretty much is out for ad infinitum), that is pretty much the only ones in the squad. Possibly Oliveira, but maybe his injury have set him back?

It is so much harder for the opponents to defend if we had more pace in the squad and we would actually begin to score in counterattacks again. And maybe just maybe our fullbacks would beat their opponent instead of entirerly relying on Pirlo passes.

Another issue together with this is the lack of off the ball running...
