With the club at the top of League One and the team in form as they chase their fifth successive victory this weekend, the likes of Dylan Lawlor, Yousef Salech, Ronan Kpakio, Cian Ashford, Joel Colwill and Isaak Davies could all be on the radar of other clubs eager to strengthen in the January transfer window.
Any departures have the potential to undermine the Bluebirds’ promotion push, but Barry-Murphy has said he is unlikely to be involved in any decisions over player sales.
“It's a conversation that doesn't involve me,” said the Irishman when asked if he expected his opinion would be sought over whether to sell.
“I don't think it's any of my business.
“I think my business is trying to improve the players and concentrate on that and trust that that's going to be it.”

This has been a breakthrough season for Wales teenage defenders Lawlor and Kpakio, whilst Colwill has also made an international breakthrough.
Meanwhile, Danish striker Salech has scored 10 goals so far this season, with three in his last three matches.
Barry-Murphy believes the club’s hierarchy would inform him of any offers for key assets, but he would not be involved any further than that.
“I would definitely be made aware of it, but I don't think that's my focus at all,”he added.
“I think my focus is to look after the players and not get distracted by stuff that may or may not happen.”

As far as players who might come into the club over the next few weeks while the window is open, Barry-Murphy has denied reports in the Swedish media that the Bluebirds had made contact over the potential signing of winger Camil Jebara, but admitted he is aware of who the player is.
Jebara, who impressed at Kalmar FF last season, scoring twice and providing eight assists in 27 Allsvenskan appearances, is a target for the Bluebirds.
"I can never lie, I know who he is," Barry-Murphy said when asked about interest.
"I know who he is, but again, he's not one of our players.
"I don't think I should say any comment about him."
Asked if reports that Cardiff had made contact over a potential move in the new year, Barry-Murphy responded: "That's not the case."
January is set to be a month of incomings and outgoings as far as Cardiff are concerned, with young players also likely to seek loan moves away to aid their playing opportunities.

There have been a glut of players who have broken through so far this season. But now that the club are out of the FA Cup and Vertu Trophy, it's likely some of them will see their game time greatly reduce in the second half of the season.
Barry-Murphy believes it would be beneficial if three players currently on the fringes of first-team involvement head out on a short-term deal when the window opens.
"We've spoken already about Dakarai Mafiko and Tanatswa Nyakuhwa, they stayed in the August window, and Luey Giles, I would include in that bracket, to essentially see how many games they would get within that period from August until January.
"Now, they haven't had enough game time to consolidate what they've been doing in training.
"So, as such, we'll actively be looking for those players to get the right loan moves to continue development and progress.
"The rest of the young lads who are underneath that would be monitored by Gavin Chesterfield and then he would liaise with us in terms of any of the younger ones who, the likes of Morgan Wigley, who has gone to Barry, and other players have gone to the Welsh Premier League.
"So all those players will be kind of looked after by Gavin, but in our first-team squad, Luey Giles, Daks and Tanatswa will be ones that we would probably see going on at this point.
"But that can change in the next few weeks."
