I've always been a sucker for signing players with pace but it's not the be all and end all for me when targeting a player. Certain players use their intelligence and positional prowess to mask their lack of pace, i.e. Xabi Alonso. Others solely rely on their pace and more than often don't have the brains to go with it, i.e. Djibril Cissé
I read Gene's post about him wanting a 'pacier Frimino'. Frimino is a good example of a player who many on here deem to be slow. I don't know if I agree with that. He isn't as fast as Mane but it doesn't deem him slow. We are quick to pigeon hole players into two camps; fast and slow. I don't want to go all Glock on this but it's like there is no in between anymore.
Side note - Andy Robertson continues to surprise me with his jet healed runs down the wing. I did not expect him to have pace to burn.
