Can't you even cheer up over the Christmas period?
Christmas is over, if scanning the clubs profits brings you festive joy then pull a cracker and leave the realists to it.

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?

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.
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.

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.
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.

CJ Egan-Riley has been playing regularly for Burnley at centre-back this season and seems to be really impressing based on a few tweets I’ve seen. Burnley have the best defensive record in the country too (6 goals conceded in 17 games)
Would like to see James Trafford back as number two to StefanFurther to this, Burnley have only conceded 9 goals in 24 games with Egan-Riley and James Trafford playing every week. The fewest goals ever conceded in a Championship season is 30 so Burnley are well on their way to beating it
