Burnley manager Sean Dyche says he is bracing himself for what he expects to be another tough summer in the transfer market.
The Clarets chief struggled to draft in the players he wanted for last season and expects it to be no different this time around.
James Tarkowski, Nick Pope and Johann Berg Gudmundsson have all been a success while Dwight McNeil has come through the ranks at Turf Moor, but apart from that, success stories are somewhat few and far between.
"It's getting more and more difficult," Dyche said. "The obvious ones for us are Tarky, Popey, Gudmundsson, it's different with Dwight coming through the system, but they are not as easy to find anymore. And if you do, their clubs say they want £29m or something, a lot of money.
"Business models in football have gone out of the window, so no one really deals with the business model, they just say 'give us this number or we'll keep them'.
"You might think they're not in that great order, but they're not bothered, therefore pay the money or don't. It's getting harder and harder to get the deals done."
Burnley are 13/8 to be relegated from the Premier League next season.
