Stoke City chairman Peter Coates says they're yet to draw up plans for the January market.

Coates says he remains open-minded at the moment about the possibility of serious business being conducted by Stoke during the January transfer window.

"No, I don't know if we will do anything in the January window.

"It depends on injuries and the like. Obviously we will be assessing what, if anything, we will do," he told The Sentinel.
