Burnley boss Sean Dyche has admitted frustration with the rising prices of transfers this summer.
Financial limitations are making recruitment difficult with Burnley's summer spending just £3.6m so far with only Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Nick Pope coming in.
“We know who the players are, it's doing the deals, that's for the chairman to get on and do," Dyche told the Lancashire Telegraph.
“The market is challenging, I'm a broken record but it's the truth, it's not just us, when you see the numbers flying around it is a big challenge.
“There's certain clubs spending a lot of money, which is probably surprising in another way when people see the amounts on certain players.
“Then there are others who are sitting tight and keeping their cards close to their chest.
“We're in the middle somewhere, trying to get deals done which we think are appropriate."
