Burnley boss Dyche laughs off talk of big money signings

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has warned agents they're not about to start shopping at the top end of the Premier League market.

Dyche's five summer signings so far have cost £2m: Michael Kightly (£1.5m), Marvin Sordell (£500,000) and freebies Matt Taylor, Matt Gilks and Steven Reid.

"One agent sent a message to tell me his player was available at €15million and wanted £45,000-a-week salary, net," he told the Mail on Sunday. "My reply was two words: 'Wrong club'.

"I was thinking, at least do your homework. It's not going to happen at that level at Burnley. I'm not stupid and I know we've got to be competitive but would I do that and rip the heart out of the club? No, it's not my style"
