Stoke City winger Liam Lawrence hopes manager Tony Pulis can add to his squad.

He told Sky Sports News: "It's going to be tough, we know that, so hopefully we can sign a few quality players and do our best.

"There's two months left (in the transfer window), so I'm sure there'll be action. It's not a worry.

"There's been lots of changes around the place already. The stadium has been done and the pitch has been done.

"All we need now is a couple of new signings and I'm sure that will happen.

"The nucleus of the squad is good. We finished second in the league and did really well last year. It's just adding to it now and improving as a team."
