Dont need pace if you can read the game so well.
Who the hell started this bullshit rumour about Demichelis' pace being slow?!
Are you absolutely blind... you don't even have to have watched him for a season to know the man has a really good pace on him...
Watch the vimeo vid a blue posted on here about 5 pages back and you will see the majority of his tackles/interceptions were when the opposition was on the counter...
He even match Ronaldo for pace over the first 10 yards on one of the clips...
I think most blues on here want a big name defender and don't realise this defender is seriously top end with CL experience, named in the La Liga 1st XI team, undestands how Pellegrini works and what h wants in defense not forgetting that he is Argentinian should settle pretty quickly within with the Spanish speaking lads and given he is Argie is no doubt a hard b*stard as well...
Exactly what we need in place of Vinny and at times possibly with Vinny giving out defense a rock solid foundation...
Missing Pepe and getting Demichelis is a blessing in disguise...
Somebody please post that link of Demichelis anytime someone whines "but he has no pace" PLUS, the lad can read the game very well (which can be seen with his multiple interceptions) and will prove very important in the UCL games as well the PL... good signing!
