I agree with you for the most part. However, there's been no lack of effort from him all season and his patchy form is probably more due to him not getting many minutes, formations leaving him isolated and teammates not being on the same wavelength. I'd be open to the idea of him staying with us if he fits into our budget.
Does Daws get credit for KvV? He was already well known to Alexander and Spittal? He was well known in the SPL.
No argument about Biereth and Stam though but hopefully the latter will remain injury-free and show us what he can do.
