Admittedly our 'extended' season may have only just finished but I notice several clubs have already published their retained lists and begun releasing players/offering new contracts in preparation for next season.
Ahead of Dos' 11th season here, it will be interesting to see who he wants to keep/let go of the current squad that have performed such heroics this season. If I remember correctly a fair few of the lads are contracted until May 2019. Dos usually prefers to get his business done early so I expect we'll hear some news in due course (especially of outgoings).
Does anyone foresee many personnel changes happening during the close season? Likely outgoings?? Realistic signings??
Feel free to add any official transfer rumours/announcements/tweets to this thread.

Testament to Butler that he's more than filled the void left by Worner's absence.

I heard we were running with two keepers next season . It's a tricky decision for number 1. Butler is a little short for a keeper but has done well & his kicking is excellent plus he sweeps. Worner is the better shot stopper and his height is better.

Agreed about Worner, he’s a great keeper and personally I’d prefer him over Jamie if we was to go up and would like to see a full season with Worner in goal. I know people would think different.

I think the biggest thing here will be retaining everyone we want. Some of our players will no doubt be in demand.

Some of our players will no doubt be in demand. Yep I think the club might have to brace itself for bids for John, Eastmond, Taylor and Wright in particular..

I'd be surprised if we get any bids for at least 2 of those. Eastmond has been brilliant this season and top of the consistency pile for us but is unlikely to go for a league 2 side (like last season when he turned down Barnet). Taylor although he has had flashes of brilliance has probably under performed this season (mostly due to personal events to be fair to the lad) - I think he could well be picked up in January after a couple of months of trailblazing. Which leaves Louis and Tommy. Maybe the fact that we have Harry, Tom B and Ross who have all moved on and ended up back here may give them a little advice about making sure if a bid comes in, it's right for them rather than just jumping at the first thing that bites.
Although not directly involved in the game on Saturday, I did spot Dan Spence on the pitch in the warm up. I don't think I spotted Moses or Jeffrey. I think that could tell it's own story.

Difficult to know who might get tempted elsewhere. As someone said we've had players returning having played in the league. We've always given players a shop window though.
Of the players who I'd like to see arrive the one I did like was Hanlan who was on loan at Bromley. The trouble with players on loan is you don't know whether the parent club has any interest in them. Do they want to give them a good run - like we did with Terry Thomas - and take them back when they're ready or just can't get rid of them.

Wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if Josh attracts interest. He’s a brilliant player. I don’t think his absence for personal reasons will be held against him. He came back strongly in the last few games. I also wouldn’t want to assume anything on Eastmond. Every chance he could get an offer he can’t refuse, plenty of sides in this division and above have far deeper pockets. Just because Barnet weren’t the right club for him it doesn’t rule out others. Hope not in both cases though! Fingers crossed.

I see Leon Legge has been released by Cambridge United - I was impressed with him when we played them in the cup back in November. Wonder if he'd drop down to the National League with us..
