Julian Weigl

Of course it's ideal. Yes skill comes first but enough pace is vital.

Ideal wasn't the best word to use (my fault), but like @Cityfan said it's not essential to have fast defensive midfielders. Fernandinho isn't the quickest yet he's one of the best at what he does for us.
Weigl is only 22/23 and has the world at his feet. With the right coaching from pep (which I think he'd get if he came to us), he'd be up there as one of if not the best defensive midfielder in 5 or so years time.
 
Fernandinho is not slow! Not fast either - but the bare minimum of pace required on the Prem.
 
He's very good and would be a perfect addition to Pep's City but there won't be another Xavi in our lifetime

There won't be; it was just a comparison to point out that Weigl is a completely distinct and special type of player just as Xavi was a distinct and special type of player.
