Curtis Davies is quick, and was very good at times next to Laursen. It all fell apart when Laursen got injured and he was asked to be the primary CB and he just became marginally better than a pub player

That's how bad we look.I'd say Mellberg was the last decent and quick CH. He'd still roast Clark, Vlaar and Baker in a foot race even now I reckon.

Dunne's deceptively quick imo.

Look at McGrath, Laursen and Mellberg - none of them were particularly pacey but they knew where to be and when to be there.
