West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has kept the door ajar for one more signing today.
Allardyce admits Ricardo Vaz Te's transfer demand has forced a change in his thinking.
He told whufc.com: "I keep telling everybody that, budget-wise, we've come to an end and we roll with what we've got unless something happens going out.
"One thing is for sure - at this late stage we have 48 hours and there is probably enough time to complete the process of bringing somebody in on its own. The transition of one out and one in, the timing has to be perfect because the player we're allowing to go out cannot go before the player we're bringing in has signed.
"If the player goes out and he's gone, he's gone. If the one coming in changes his mind or someone else rings him up and offers more money, then we're absolutely finished so we cannot allow that to happen.
"That's why I think it'll be very difficult to bring someone in, but we'll always have a look and if someone wants to buy one of our players for the right fee and they want to go - for example, Vaz Te at the moment who has decided he wants to leave - we'll have some funds to bring someone else in."
