Stoke boss Pulis admits likely sales in January

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis admits he may sell in January.

Pulis bolstered his squad considerably over the summer by making five signings - including the late trio of arrivals Peter Crouch, Wilson Palacios and Cameron Jerome - and has indicated it could be a fairly quiet January transfer window for the Potters, with the focus more on outgoing personnel than new recruits.

"We think we have got a decent squad," he said.

"If people become available who we like, then if we can do something, we will.

"But there are one or two in the squad as well that actually need to play some football.

"We have to recognise that and see if we can do some business there.

"So there might be a few going out - whether or not we bring a few in will be determined by if we feel it is right for the football club.

"It won't be as busy as it has been."
