Pulis waiting for transfer window

A recent spate of injuries has seen Stoke struggle and a dip in form has followed. Particluar areas of concern are up front and in midfield where the combined absences of Mama Sidibe, Dave Kitson, Liam Lawrence and Salif Diao are having an impact.

Pulis believes that with the right activity in the window the Potters will be in a better position to cover injuries in these vital positions and maintain their push to remain in the Premier League.
