Sean Dyche thinks Burnley are moving in a positive direction after the summer transfer dealings.

The Clarets chief added five new faces, including highly rated winger Maxwel Cornet.

"I think overall it has been a good one (window) and we are trying to mould further than the immediacy by bringing in players who are younger and newer to the challenge of what the Premier League brings and hopefully they will all do very well," said Dyche, via LancsLive.

"We are trying to map out the strengths of what we have now and adding in the next layer of players like we did some years ago and we are trying to readdress the investment situation that should have been made over the last couple of years and you can't do it all in one window.

"But I think it has been a good window and an important window and we want these players, if they can't literally hit the ground running, then to get up to speed and join in with what we do very quickly."

He added: "I spoke at length when they (ALK) came in and explained the last few windows, and what occurred, which put us slightly behind the curve, nothing too dramatic.

"I think we have definitely affected that on paper. I say a good window, but you never know until the players get active.

"But certainly on paper and business wise, it looks a good window. I am pleased with it, but I've never been naive enough to think that just because you spend money and bring new faces in, it will all work immediately.

"It takes a platform for these players to grow and develop, so we'll see how that goes."
