'Luton did their most important business in the summer'

Ollie Kay, We Are Luton Town

Ah transfer deadline day! One of the high holy days of the footballing calendar.

As a Luton fan this day used to fill me with dread. Back in the conference days, with transfer wheeling and dealing bringing such esteemed players like Collin Samuel. who has since gone down in Luton folklore brought in on deadline day but only make one appearance.

However, compared to how deadline day used to be, our dealings now are of such a standard, it has Hatters constantly excited to see what we can pull off.

Last season our deadline deals saw Marvelous Nakamba and Cody Drameh come in. These two players who I originally expected to be the difference between getting into the playoffs and missing out. Instead they ended up being the difference between getting promoted or missing out.

This season, I cannot see too much movement. We have added Japan international Daiki Hashioka to give us depth for both wing-back positions as well as an option in defence.

The likelihood is we will see no more than two other players joining, one development player and one more for the first team, potentially to cover for Tom Lockyer, or provide an additional option further forward.

The squad is now in a really good place and is 98% there. We have the right amount of depth and a team that is hitting its stride, unbeaten in five matches. The reality is, Luton Town did their most important business in the summer window.
