Sean Dyche is hoping that he can add to his Burnley squad in January.

But the experienced boss knows that it is always tough to add players midway through the season.

His side are 19th in the league and need help if they are to stay in the league.

"I think the first thought is to add some new thinking and new ideas to the recruitment side of the club. That will probably develop over time but that's certainly the first meat on the bones so to speak for him to really get his teeth into," said the Clarets chief to the Lancashire Telegraph.

"We want to add layers to it and get more depth into our recruitment.

"That's one of the key things. The model of recruitment, the depth, the knowledge, the increase in how we can work in order to get the next level of player that we need.

"Don't get me wrong you land with a moment or a bit of knowledge on the player, but what I mean is he's not been brought in for the next three months he's been brought in for a long period to go from window to window.

"We're looking with immediacy of course but there's a longer term view of that side of the club, which the chairman's made clear as well."
