Burnley's operational director Brendan Flood claims the club are in no rush to reinvest the money raised from the sale of Andy Gray to Charlton Athletic.
The Turf Moor coffers were boosted to the tune of £1.5million following the sale of their top-scorer last weekend, but the Clarets are in no rush to find a replacement.
Burnley have been linked with moves for Celtic's Derek Riordan and Dundee United midfielder Barry Robson in recent weeks.
"Chairman Barry Kilby and I are committed guys and we're continuing to make further commitments to the club, I think everyone can see that we are getting a better squad and we're not going to do a QPR," Flood told the Burnley Citizen.
"It's a medium to long-term plan to get Burnley established one day in the Premier League.
"Charlton are probably fairly ruthless because they've got the parachute money to play with.
"They must have a less focused attitude on how they buy players. We buy them with a view to keep them for the length of the contract.
"We can't afford to make short-term decisions like that."
