According to Mirror, our 5 fastest players....with Shane the fastest in the EPL. Shane Long, 35.31 km/hr Maya Yoshida, 34.78 Ryan Bertrand, 34.5 Virgil van Dijk, 33.92 Cuco Martina, 33.91
That's rather odd. Last season, if someone had asked me who was the fastest at Southampton I would have said Mane, then, Long. Obviously, Mane just looked faster, but in reality he wasn't. Maya doesn't surprise me. I've been deceived by his speed before and learned. Bit surprised that Virgil isn't even faster because he always manages to catch strikers, even if he gives them a couple of yards start. Also, I'm a bit surprised Stephen Davis isn't somewhere there. I've seen him rocket up the pitch, on occasion, during support for a counter-attack. And Josh Sims is no slouch, with or without the ball.

I can see this. Watch THE goal v Liverpool for the 2009th time from the edge of the area, and what the rocket known as Shane Long
I would imagine Josh will record some decent speeds, watch the acceleration from the half way line at Anfield.
Ah this may prevent me coming in at CB and I've realised there may be quicker posters available. Fats in normal training mode ......4.76 km/hr Fats at dinner time, lounge to table .... 5.76 Davecg from pub window to bar (someone there buying) ...... 6.85 Theresonlyoneno.7 from St Mary's to Old Farmhouse when told dinner bought..... 7.62 Tom (typing speed) when ref abused..... 7.98
As has proven the case already, our squad was woefully short on numbers (including a striker from day 1) for the number of games we had to play but won't go over this again as it has been done to death
Not to forget Beddy on the promise of a pint..........4.00km/hr or faster if the wind is behind.......
Someone on the 'Nazi's Love Football' forum said that Martin Caceres has turned down Milan's offer and is looking at the Premier League with Southampton or Sunderland being his destination - anyone got any more information on this or is it, as most things with our club at the moment, utter doo-doos?
Martin Caceres I can't speak Italian so this is Google Translate which mean's it is word-for-word and makes no sense http://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/milan-caceres-dice-no-allofferta-rossonera-le-ultimissime Milan-Caceres , a marriage destined not to be celebrated. After the lack of response of the player in recent hours the offer of Milan, in fact, the former defender of Juventus has declined the proposal of the Rossoneri. Fades, therefore, its future in milaniste colors. It can, at this point, that the next target of Caceres is in the Premier League : today, in fact, is expected his departure to London, where the same Uruguayan defender hear various offers. On his trail, there would be the Southampton who, after trying for Mexes (but did not convince from a physical point of view) is looking for a defender. Can also be a concern of Sunderland . Before the medical examination, then the agreement to look on how to engage offered by the company (between 200 and 250 thousand euro to 25,000 euro more fixed base for each presence). Finally, the 'no'. Martin Caceres away the return to Serie A in his future (maybe) the Premier League.
He's got to be worth a look. If I read that correctly, he wants €200,000 to €250,000 to sign, and then €25,000 per appearance. That's cheap as chips IF he's any good. And we have such a good record with Uruguayans!
They said he had a trial at Crystal Palace but he didn't impress - so sounds like our type of signing...
Well there you go, people who think that Google Translate and general word translation works just don't understand language at all. I think this translation proves the point. To sum it up: We think he's coming over to England to try out for a Premier League club and we've guessed and picked two teams that are not on top form at the moment.
