West Brom boss Tony Pulis has played down talk of a big January market.

Baggies coach Ben Garner was bullish about the prospect last week.

But Pulis said: “Jeremy (Peace, club chairman) thinks January is not a good window. I've spoken to him and I know the score and the situation.

“He's been very open and honest. Whether I've liked his openness and honesty is another thing. I prefer it that way.

“We'll see about new signings. The best thing to do is wait and see what happens and what doesn't happen.

“I don't want to be laying my cards on the table yet because there's a long way to go until the window opens."
