Genuinely think he'd rather keep them and build the team up, rather than starting from scratch in June. That will piss off a lot of people. However, in his view, and it's not an entirely incorrect one, our issues have been injuries and gaps in the squad that have cost us this season. Especially since Clement took over.
I wouldn't be stunned if Goldson left, but I'd be a little surprised if Tav goes. If both left, it leaves a huge gap in our defence and with people still being so uncertain on Ridvan and Souttar, we'd basically need to rebuild our entire defence inside one window. With the focus being predominantly on signing younger players, losing a tonne of senior ones does leave things in a precarious position next season. Young players aren't always the most consistent, and neither is our patience.
I get the eagerness from the fans to refresh and renew the team. I, myself, am really hoping this is the last summer I'm saying 'we need to rebuild', but due to FFP and the current state of the squad. We won't be able to rebuild inside one transfer window. It's going to take at least a couple, especially if we want to be competitive and relevant next season, never mind dominant or victorious.
