Pulis prepared to wait in transfer market

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis is prepared to bide his time in the transfer market if necessary.

The Potters, who are in Croatia ahead of Thursday's Europa League third qualifying round second leg against Hajduk Split, have only recruited former Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Jonathan Woodgate so far this summer.Pulis refuses to be drawn on the identity of his targets, though, and insists he will wait until near the end of the transfer window to make further signings if it seems the best thing to do."We'll do our business with the clubs and people might be surprised who we do eventually end up with," Pulis said."We will improve the squad before the window closes. But we've always done our business later in the transfer window rather than earlier."We have to make sure that we do our business at the right price - that is something that we have always maintained and something that we will always try to do."
