"Offers have gone in for three forward players at the moment," said manager Nigel Clough.
"We're still waiting. It's a little bit of moving the goal posts where you think you've got a deal agreed last week and then somebody comes back and says 'we want a bit more' or changes the deal, so we're at that stage at the moment.
"[There's] A few days to go, and we're waiting on the answers back on those three offers. I think now, we're in a position with the injuries that we're picking up and everything that we probably need more than one.
"The chairman has been brilliant and has given us the green light to go for them. If we end up with two out of three or something like that [that would be good].
"We're trying to do business. We have done for the last week or two but it seems inevitable that people leave it until the last minute. We're in other clubs' hands, players' hands and agents' hands so there's nothing more we can do than just wait."
On potential outgoings, he added: "It will depend on who comes in. We have had enquiries for one or two but it all depends on incomings."
