Fulham manager Scott Parker admits he is choosing not to worry about the transfer market.

The Cottagers have lost their opening three matches this season after returning to the Premier League.

But Parker insists that recruitment is out of hands.

Asked if there would be any new arrivals by October 5, Parker answered: "Honestly I don't know.

"It's got to the point where I just want to focus on the team really. The transfer window has been open for some time and I can't control that.

"I can't control who we're going to get and who we're not going to get. I can give an opinion. We've now only a few days left of it and we are where we are.

"So I don't want to lose sight of what I have to do with the team and lose energy elsewhere. We're in the market of course we are, but we was in the market a few days after Wembley when we went into this league.

"The people in those areas are trying their hardest and hopefully we can get some help."
