Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits it's difficult working without the loan market available to Premier League clubs.
In previous campaigns as manager he has been able make short-term signings after each transfer window has closed.
"That's why it was important to build a squad. We've attempted to round off a squad with the finance available and we've done that, pretty much," said Dyche.
"If I'm honest, the one key area that we tried to affect and couldn't quite get the one we wanted on numerous occasions was central midfield, because that is a key area in the sense of you do tend to pick up a few injuries there over a longer period."
