Rovers are still waiting to bring in Argentinian striker Hugo Pavone, who bought out his contract with Real Betis to become a free agent. Reports emerged that owners Venky's had been forced to slash the transfer budget in order to pay off some of the club's overdraft. However, Kean stressed they are awaiting news on two "sizeable" bids and he has not been instructed to sell before he can buy. "That has definite 100% not been mentioned," he said. "We have not had any bids in for players from other clubs so we couldn't have put any bids out there in case they were accepted if that was true. "We have got two active bids out there and we will see if they are accepted, if not other bids will go in. "They are not small deals they are sizeable bids. I imagine they will come to a conclusion within the next 48 hours, if they happen - great, if they don't we will put other bids out and attract other players to the club. "The facts are we know where we want to strengthen and that there is money available. "Finance is not the stumbling block, there is certain paperwork that has to be done. "I can totally understand the fans' frustrations and I hope they bear with us because it is not a case where we are twiddling our thumbs and not doing any work. "I have a good relationship with the owners and we have a management panel in place. There is activity. "I am possibly frustrated we have not managed to finalise one. It is a lot harder to get them done than I first thought." Kean said there was a general misconception that because Rovers sold defender Phil Jones to Manchester United for £16.5million last month that money was ready to be spent straightaway. "The Phil Jones money was not all in one payment," he said. "Some was up front and the rest comes in at different times. "I have a good budget to work with and by the time the transfer window finishes everyone will know what the budget was and what money was invested back in. "It is difficult to say how much we are going to spend because we want the money to spread as far as we can. "It is a budget that we will try to stretch and get as many quality players in as we can. "We will try to get value for money so if there is a little bit left over that could be added to improve someone's contract or bringing in another young development player."
