Pace to burn

We are blessed as a team because we have pace to burn. Even with the departure of Monkey boy we still have a number of road runners in our squad:
Walker, Lennon, Townsend, Rose, Defoe are all very quick indeed.
Vlad has also made a couple of amazing last ditch tackles for us by being very speedy in recovery. Hugo is rapid off his line as the sweeper/keeper.
I don't know how many of you saw Sky Sports Goals on Sunday last weekend with Jermaine and Andros as guests, but they were asked which current Spurs player would be quickest over 60 yds. They said Kyle Walker, but then added that Younes Kaboul would be very close as well!
So how much have we missed Kaboom's pace this year? Especially playing the high line with Dawson and Verts not the quickest, it is a risky ploy for us.
In our last couple of games I've seen Kyle get himself out of trouble with raw pace (he has also been playing very well by the way).
But if we had a back five of Lloris, Walker, Kaboul (if/when fit), Chiriches and Rose, would that be the quickest defensive line in the Prem?

Is Verts that slow?

I agree that this is a seriously quick back 5 and really feel that with Kaboul's injury we've never really seen the best of AVB's high line.

Still not enough for a top 4 finish is it?
