Dyche admits Burnley being priced out of transfer market

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits they're being priced out of the transfer market.

Dyche admitted on Saturday that Burnley want new blood, having used only 23 players in the Championship.

He said: "The challenge is obvious - how much have you got and how much can you spend? Everyone wants the prices up.

"Some Championship clubs pay more in wages than we do now in the Premier League. The biggest challenge this season has been the McCormack deal. I think that surprised everyone.

"I respect him as a player, of course, but the finance that was put into that deal raised everyone's level. Anyone who is sub-£11m (clubs that would not normally spend £11m on a player) is affected by that."
