Town in a buyer’s market

With managing director Gary Sweet adamant that football is currently a ‘buyer’s market’ Town are well placed to make improvements for next term.

A number of Luton players are out of contract this summer, but Sweet believes they all want to stay and that the club will be able to pick and choose their targets.

He said: “There are a number of players out of contract. I don’t think there’s a single player that genuinely wants to leave this football club.

“Without being arrogant we have the pick of whatever we want there.

“Clearly there’s going to be some changes but Gary’s (Brabin) working on that and thinking on that and who he wants to bring in.

“It’s a buyer’s market out there at the moment as far as football is concerned.

“We’ve built up a good relationship with the players we’ve had. None of the players who are out of contract are particularly secure.”

But Town are also looking to cast their net further than just the players who are out of contract at Kenilworth Road and are busy eyeing up developments at other clubs as they draw up their list of targets.

Sweet added: “We are a progressive club and want to move on.

“That’s something that’s always being monitored. We’ve got quite a good network of people.

“To say we know who we want to bring in would be juvenile when we know other clubs are releasing what they are planning this week.

“We have our eye on a few people.

“Gary certainly knows what type of players and what positions he needs.”
