I'd love us to be in a position though where we aren't signing a **** load of players every summer though.

I can't remember the last summer where we weren't signing 8 or more
Didn’t help until getting promoted from L1 we didn’t have anyone extend more than a year either
 
That’s true in our case now as we are keeping the main core of the side. In previous years we’d sign that many to become the new core

That's whats going unnoticed. The core of our squad is tied down for a while with all the renewals. Adding in some quality with loans whilst frustrating isnt the end of the world

Continuity is pretty much what Luton got promoted on the back of. If you don’t have parachute payments it’s pretty much how you’re going to eventually get promoted. They didn’t really have any big sales over the years either
 
Could the attacking player be De La Fuente or is that dead?

I keep wondering about him. He's mentioned surprisingly rarely considering we know we would've signed him months ago if we hadn't missed a deadline.

Which is why I suspect we’re no longer interested, otherwise surely there’d be rumours all over?
 
Would seem odd that we would just no longer be interested at all when it’s a position where we are critically endangered.

Yeh it's a strange one, if we are in a position where we have to be looking to sign players that we can sell for profit, he seems like one that has the potential to massively pay off.

This type of approach proper scares me. He was identified in Jan and we wanted to do the deal but a few months later we don't. It doesn't make sense

It just makes it look like a panic signing

Can’t say I know much about him, his CV with Marseille and Olympiakos (I think?) is worth getting excited about, and with a name like Konrad De La Fuente he sounds like he’s going to be good.

I don’t know if he did anything in the second half of the season that raised his stock too high but considering Preston seem to be in running I would expect not.
