He said: "We've put in for many players at lots of clubs and asked about them, but either the price or the availability means that a deal isn't going to happen.
"So, we keep looking and we keep moving on, but at present we have one or two deals in the pipeline and hopefully they'll come to fruition shortly.
"We are doing everything to get the right ones, although with a limited budget you have to try and spread that cash as best you can with several Bosmans, some smaller transfers and some loan situations - which we are also trying to arrange."
Moyes added: "I'm probably being offered on average 15 players a day by different agents, but I can only tell you that they're players from all over the world who nobody knows anything about.
"The way I do my work is that I like to see the players; I like to know the players, know what I'm getting, so from that point of view, most of them aren't suitable."
