Christmas is over, if scanning the clubs profits brings you festive joy then pull a cracker and leave the realists to it.

Well yes, why do club profits excite you? Are you living vicariously through them?
Are you one of those happy fucking clappers ?

I'd like more academy players in the first team but what about Phil Foden? Rico Lewis? Oscar Bobb?We hardly catch any, my point is that why do fans get excited about an academy which is just there to earn profit whilst the club put the prices up anyway?
What benefit is it to us as fans?

Oscar Bobb has made 14 appearances for us so far (He could have made more who knows but for his injury) Rico is the only one from the new bunch and we have gotten rid of better.
Even during this unparalleled injury crisis youngsters have been warming the bench while old legs have struggled, at this very point in time we should have used more.
Buying other teams and players as assets just leaves me cold.

I don't disagree. I think we dropped the ball with Romeo Lavia and especially with Cole Palmer. Both were ready to play. We may well be doing the same thing with McAtee right now.Oscar Bobb has made 14 appearances for us so far (He could have made more who knows but for his injury) Rico is the only one from the new bunch and we have gotten rid of better.

We could have used Liam Delap too but that one is more understandable for me, he needed some regular gametime at the highest level or else he was never gonna play/have the confidence he has now.
Other than the ones mentioned though, none of the lads we've let go would be helping us that much. Maybe Morgan Rogers, Jeremie Frimpong, Aleix García but all 3 needed a significant amount of time away from the club playing week in week out to reach the level they're at now.

What's concerning is the injury crisis and if rumours are true Pep would rather play players who are carrying a niggle than players sat on the bench mate.
I can't get excited about the players we buy and loan out or ones that are in the academy if there is very little chance of them coming through, and I can't see the point in fans getting giddy about the club making money while they keep putting the prices up either.

Totally agree with this post. Ks is I think Southampton’s relegation was unfortunate as the buy back had not kicked in at that point. I suspect we would have had him back if they survivedI don't disagree. I think we dropped the ball with Romeo Lavia and especially with Cole Palmer. Both were ready to play.
