Cardiff City head coach Brian Barry-Murphy says it is "impossible to say" whether or not the club will be doing any more business before the transfer window closes.

So far the Bluebirds have only brought in Copenhagen goalkeeper Nathan Trott on loan, while 11 senior players have departed since last season.

Centre-back Jesper Daland was once again not included in the Cardiff matchday squad for their 3-0 EFL Cup win over Cheltenham.

Barry-Murphy confirmed the defender, who signed for around £3.5m from Cercle Brugge last year, is in "advanced discussions" with other teams.

"As things stand he is still a Cardiff player and we see so many times the unpredictable nature of this window," said Barry-Murphy.

"He has been training exceptionally well but he has not been fully active the past few days as he's been engaged in advanced discussions with other clubs."

As for incomings, Barry-Murphy dismissed rumours linking the club to Sparta Prague defender Patrick Vydra and would not been drawn on reports surrounding Auxerre defender Gabriel Osho.

"We have people in mind that remain consistent and constant," Barry-Murphy said.

"Our priority is to got those people in and if we don't then work back from there.

"I think there will be some [incomings], but it is impossible to say."

The transfer window closes on Monday, 1 September at 19:00 BST.
