In the meantime, record numbers of football fans have been taking to Football Manager to get their fix. For a bit of fun, we've fired up the popular management sim and sent the game into the future, to have a peek at who the Hatters are predicted to sign over the next two transfer windows.
9. Ryan Tafazolli - 89k - Hull City
A good option at the back for Luton, here, who land the ex-Peterborough United man for a bargain fee. He's a determined and resolute character - just what is needed to get promotion.
10. Jon Flanagan - Rangers - Free transfer
Back in form after a great spell at Ibrox, Flanagan is ready to kick-start his career in English football again. That 19/20 'aggression' rating might see the odd red card, mind.
11. Michael Hefele - Nottingham Forest - Loan
Flash forward to January, and the Hatters are straight back into the transfer market. They bring in the German defender to bolster the back line.
12. Cameron McGeehan - Loan
An familiar face returns to help Luton with their promotion push, in what is now his third loan spell at Kenilworth Road.
