We MUST keep most of these to have any chance of play offs. Add the rumoured interest in BP and the exit door could be busy unless agreement can be reached.
Never mind incoming,outgoings need to be minimal.
 
Robinson won't sign.

Extending Barkhuizen's deal should be a priority.

Bodin, Gally and Clarke have to earn an extension for me, Bodin is still unproven and off the back of a bad injury, Clarke's injury record is getting worse and Gally is getting on, no room for sentiment, if his performance levels drop then we need to look for an improvement.

Can't see Barkys deal being extended if as it has been said on here he was done over in January.
Hope I'm wrong as he is a key player in ANs set up.

Done over in what way?

From that list I'd expect Bodin to sign a new one once he's proven his fitness and Gally will be based on his performance levels this coming season. I expect the rest to not be here.

Robinson is a priority, but I think we have to say it's 50/50 at best.
Bodin played a handful of games and showed flashes and then has been injured: needs to prove himself this season before a deal is offered.
Gallagher, if he contributes again this season can expect a deal, but not before Christmas I think.
Clarke's time is probably coming to a natural end, good as he's been for us. Wouldn't begrudge him another year if he were to fight his way back into the side and impress though.
Rudd we're actively looking to replace.
Barkhuizen I'm in two minds on. He's a grafter but he doesn't seem the player he was when he first came into the side. Could we do better? He's worth his place in the squad as things stand but it wouldn't be catastrophic if we lost him I don't think.

it was reported on here that a deal was agreed then TH blocked it.
 
I may be a lone voice on this one, but I genuinely think Rudd is a decent keeper who just had a dip in confidence last season.
Think back to some of the saves he made and they were outstanding - stopping a close range effort on the opening day against QPR was one of the best I've ever seen.
Yes, he needs to command his box better, but I don't think he's the worst keeper we've ever had and with the right defence in front of him I think he's good enough for top six all day long.
Ripley looks the part and may well come good this season but with those two, I don't think a new keeper is the priority for us that some think it needs to be.

I think all of our keepers suffered from changing the defence too often and Pearson's suspensions, inexperienced players like Storey and Rafferty were often caught wanting with little or no support from our wide players (after Barky was injured). We have nobody to sit in front of the back 4/5 when Pearson is absent and this causes so many problems, if Gallagher could tackle he could possibly fill in here if and when the yellows and reds pile up for Pearson.
 
I'd expect Bodin to be given until November to prove himself. Hopefully Robbo will extend another 12 months. Barky is a priority.

With the others I'd be very much wait and see.

Pretty well what I would say as well though in all honesty I doubt that either Gallagher or Clarke have more than another season at this level left in them.

Gallagher is as fit as a fiddle, you ageist plank.

I suppose 35 year old Grezza was deemed surplus to you, too.

Gallagher will prove you wrong - again.

Nothing much to add to what has been said.

Hemming’s doesn’t rate Barky as much as the manager.

Callum is no different to what the paper have said, his agent is touting him about and what talk new contracts.

I’d expect Bodin to get an extension.

I’m a huge fan of Gally but he was badly overrun at times towards the end of last season, Reading away being the one that sticks in my mind. Still, he’s got plenty to offer.

Depends how much Barkhuizen wants I suppose. If he's asking to be one of our top earners then I'd tend to agree with Hemmings. If he's asking for an extension on the same terms then Neil and Barky both have a right to be frustrated.

if I'd agreed a deal I would want what was agreed, no less.
If TH won't pay I expect Barky to be sat in the stands as DJ was last season,then it's who blinks first.
No deal and he either gets sold or (as I understand it but may be wrong) waits until Jan then can sign a pre contract agreement and go for free.

This is what really pisses me off. The owner shouldn't be the one that decides if a player is or isnt good enough. That is what the manager and the advisor are for.
