MK Dons on deadline day - Relive it as it happened

Things could still kick off at Stadium MK with irons still very much in the fire.

They’re still waiting on a few bits to fall right and then it could all be action stations.

Hold on, it could be a bumpy ride

If there is anything to be announced, remember it could come after the deadline.

But there is confidence in the camp that something might still pull off

The window is closed

And down come the shutters...

... but that doesn’t mean it’s over until I get the call...

MK Dons have landed a striker... Danilo Orsi from Burton Albion.

The striker will be best known to Dons fans for his role in the emphatic play-off semi-final rout against them last season for Crawley Town.

The 28-year-old joins on loan from the Brewers, with an option to buy come the end of the deal in summer.

And that's all she wrote

Well, I think that’s enough for one window, don’t you?

Five out, three in and a whole new complexion to MK Dons for the final few months of the season.

Cheers for sticking around!
