Saints played Chambers as a centre back for the under 21's towards the end of last season when Clyne was keeping him out of the 1st team. Had one of the biggest clubs in World football not turned his head then he may well have played centre back for Saints.

Not that he'd be in the starting line-up, but this explains Gallagher's absence from the match day squad... BBC Solent Sport ‏@solentsport 13h #saintsfc player update: striker Sam Gallagher hasn't featured in the last 2 friendlies due to illness, says manager Ronald Koeman

In which case shouldn't they have left them on for hours in the build up to today's game to reduce the impact on people's eyes?

Is every Premier League side we will play this season at the same level as the 4th best German team? Are you even at the game?

There is a difference between a typo and misspelling someones name for 3 years.

He's been a Saints player since 2011, you could at least spell his name correctly!

#SaintsFC team vs @bayer04fussball: Boruc, Clyne, Fonte ©, Yoshida, Bertrand, Wanyama, S. Davis, Ward-Prowse, Tadić, Isgrove, Pellè. #SaintsFC substitutes vs @bayer04fussball: K. Davis (GK), Ramírez, Taïder, Cork, Mayuka, Hooiveld, Reed, Targett, Stephens, McQueen.

In the under 21 Premier League you can have 3 overage outfield player, plus the keeper can be an overage player. In any case, it was a friendly today and the clubs can come to whatever agreement they want about who plays.

At least give the free demo a try first. Yep, the free demo. You can also buy it for cheaper than £30.

There is a cameras off section of the press conference for the papers to ask questions and not have stories broadcast beforehand.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC With almost 14,000 tickets sold, extra blocks will open for tomorrow’s friendly with @bayer04fussball and #SaintsFC fans can buy on the day. Goes to show what sensible friendly ticket prices can do. With a decent walk-up on the day it should be a very healthy crowd.

Reina to Bayern Munich. He is 32 years old later this month, he is 6 years older than Forster and will have significantly larger wages than Forster. That helps explain the price difference. Why do you think we don't need another keeper? Were you confident whenever Davis or Gazzaniga were playing in 2012/13 or 2013/14? Would you be happy for them to play in 2014/15 if Boruc was out injured for two or three months?

What form are you suggesting the "respect" should be in? I think you'd find it hard to find a Saints fan that doesn't like him as a character or wasn't happy with his contribution in the Championship promotion season, but in the Premier League he is completely out of his depth.

Are you joking? He is 30 years old, some clubs only offer 1 year deals at a time for people over 30. Handing out a 5 year deal to a 30 year old is pretty much unheard of in World football.

Why do you think that? Ryan Bertrand signed on 30th July, trained with his Saints teammates for the first time on the morning of the 31st July and played against Brighton later on the same day.

Twitter isn't a person. It can range from Cork himself, to his agent, his dad, a well informed journalist, an ill-informed journalist, to a random person anywhere in the world. Simply saying "twitter said" is meaningless unless you say who on twitter said it.

Koeman just confirmed we do have an interest in him, so at least we know for sure it isn't merely press speculation.

Because no-one as of yet wants to buy or loan him. His wages will put a lot of clubs off. Simply still being at the club doesn't by default mean he is good enough for the level of the club. Tommy Forecast saw out his entire 5 year contract, largely because no-one else wanted him for the wages he'd be missing out on if he left Saints. So he stayed with us. He is a contracted senior professional employee, what is the alternative to him training with the 1st team when he's done noting wrong? Koeman has now stopped putting him in match day squads for friendlies, does that not suggest to you Koeman doesn't want to use him?

The countdown suggests 3pm, but one of the media staff has said... Tom Coull ‏@TomC_SFCMedia 3m Watch Ronald Koeman's press conference live on YouTube from **APPROXIMATELY** 3.15pm It normally starts later than planned.

He has been at the club for 11 years, made his debut last season in the League Cup and has played in preseason for the first team under Koeman.
