    I think it's almost guaranteed Hatate leaves in the summer, and it might be the right time to let him go.

    I think we'll lose one of Maeda/Kuhn, not both but I'd be surprised if we kept both.

    Taylor already pretty much gone.

    I think we'll keep CCV but I think next season will be his last with us.

    Simple answer is no.. this is Celtic and our business model won't let it..

    I've come to terms with that for the most part, it's just the way it is... when we get offers that double or treble our money etc said player is gone.

    As long as we keep reinvesting it in top younger players and done with punts I'm OK..

    need a rebuild from the top down. Sack the board, sack the players just get everyone sacked and I guarantee success.

    I think we might lose the likes of Hatate and Khun in the summer. Unfortunately, Maeda's recent scintillating form will be drawing attention, and that would be a right boot in the balls if he went. I also think McGregor's age is beginning to catch up with him and we will need a suitable replacement of a high quality. We know what's happening with KT but I also think we need back up for AJ. We can't stand still

    I’ve accepted we’re losing Hatate and Taylor.
    I’m actually confident enough we can keep Kuhn a bit longer, this is his first real break out season and been to a few clubs now.
    I’m more worried about the lads who have been here a while now. Maeda, CCV, Johnston

    Hopefully not because we need to keep up-cycling or we’ll stagnate. Is the long and short of it.

    What calms me down is that i think the signings are 95% found by the scouting team and not the manager. A few years ago we was hopeless in finding the right player and now we seem to get it right most of the times. Keeping Rodgers, CCV and Maeda is absolutely a must imo to improve.
