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 Terriers are predicted to sign over the next two transfer windows.
9. John Guidetti - Alaves - 3.4 million
It's summer Deadline Day, and the Terriers provide some late drama with another signing from Alaves. Goodness knows who the Spanish side are going to play up top now!
10. Jake Bidwell - Swansea City - 5.25 million
Flash forward to January, and Huddersfield are back on the recruitment drive. The relentless left-back should prove a fine addition to the back-line.
11. Brendan Galloway - Peterborough United - 525k
A bit of an odd one, this. The Posh flip the ex-Everton defender as soon as they signed him from Luton. Still, he's worth a lot more than what Huddersfield paid.
12. Ryan Bennett - Wolves - 2.5 million
Wolves let the veteran defender go on the cheap, as the Terriers secure a great deal. His 18/20-rated 'long throw' is a deadly weapon.
