BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche says Andre Gray is not the finished article, and is looking forward to enhancing his development.

The Clarets have already seen an impressive return on their club record £6million investment with eight goals in 11 games from the striker.

With two scored for Brentford before his August move, Gray sits top of the Championship scoring charts.

But Dyche is adamant that the striker could become even more potent as the season progresses.

“I don’t think he’s been overly surprising, that’s why we brought him,” said the Burnley manager “We thought he was very good and we could get him better working how we did.

“He’s shown very good signs, but I think there’s still more to come.

“The open-mindedness to keep developing is a big thing about how we work here and Andre is a big part of that.”

But Dyche said the same approach to improvement applies to all of his players.

“If it’s Duffo (Michael Duff), with his age and experience, we still work with him, as we would with a 17-year-old to try and continually get the best out of people.

“I wish I would have known more about it when I was younger.

“Joey (Barton) as well. He’s been as good as anyone about accepting some of the changes and been very open-minded in terms of some of the ideas I’ve got in terms of him and his play.”

Dyche is pleased with the recruitment process this summer, having had money available for the first time in three years as Burnley boss.

But, he said: “It’s not an exact science.

“We all know the stories from down the years, before I was involved in management. You all see players who you would put your life on going to a club and doing great, and they didn’t.

“Some move for millions and millions of pounds and it didn’t happen.

“Equally, you’ve seen under-the-radar players who you were not sure of that did great.

“You’re in an industry where your staff are important, your recruitment staff are absolutely important, then your own opinion and moulding that into what you need.

“The players that come in are still human, they don’t know everything about what you want to do.

“You’ve still got to educate them in how you want the team to work and their role within it and get used to the cultural changes, different voices, different ways of working, different protocols, rules, “It all takes time but I’m very pleased the players that we’ve brought in have adapted very quickly and moulded into the group very quickly.”
