Burnley boss Steve Cotterill admits they're on the outer over a deal for Aston Villa midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba.
"With Eric, we will leave it as late as possible, we will leave a window open there, but we won't know what work he will have done in pre-season then.
"We would have wanted to have him in with the rest of the lads for pre-season if we were going to have him on a longer-term loan, but I don't see that one happening at the moment."
