Stoke City: No loan moves for Kenwyne Jones and Wilson Palacios, says Tony Pulis
STOKE City have rejected approaches for Kenwyne Jones and Wilson Palacios from Leicester City and Hull City respectively.
Manager Tony Pulis has declined to let either go out on loan because he insists both still have a potential part to play at the Britannia.

Staying put: Wilson Palacios
Jones has just two substitute appearances to his name in the Premier League this season and has only started five this calendar year.
But Pulis stated: "Kenwyne will not be going anywhere."

He added: "I haven't seen any other Premier League clubs selling players. There's been lots of inquiries about lots of players, but at the moment we want to look after ourselves.
"We had 25 in our Premier League squad and then let Jermaine Pennant go on loan to Wolves, so we don't want to be letting others go and then picking up three or four injuries."
Hull boss Steve Bruce, who managed Palacios at both Birmingham and Wigan, inquired about taking the Honduras international on loan.
But Pulis has decided to hang on to the 28-year-old midfielder, at least for now, after seeing a rapid improvement in training.
That culminated in Palacios returning to the matchday 18 last Saturday, for the first time since the end of August, and then appearing as a late substitute at Old Trafford.
"He's trained really well over the last six weeks and got his levels of fitness up again," Pulis revealed.
Glenn Whelan trained tentatively without any reaction yesterday as he begins his comeback from a recent hamstring injury.
"He will be touch and go for the Sunderland game on Saturday," said Pulis.
DEFENDER Danny Higginbotham has had his loan spell at Ipswich extended for a further two months.

“Aston Villa 600 million in the same 5 year period and are no better than us,Sunderland spent 32 million in the summer yet they do not look 3 times better than us.Southampton spent more than us in the summer and are miles behind us.It is only about Money in the top six and a good solid dressing room can often compensate for it.What it also proves is that you still have to spend money just to retain your place in the Premier league”

“Still trying to convince himself nobody knows who he really is
That is the truly pathetic person we have to put up with.
I can respect most others who dislike our Manager and complain about matters SCFC even if I do not like what is said, but from this numpty - no, dont see why we should have to accept anything said by a lair.”

“You have friends PP?
What a bundle of laughs that will be then.You/soccerfoot/SCFC4EVA, Latthing and jswords presumably?
PS-What's a snow job (or have you inadvertently let another 'Americanism' slip in along with your road games and offense?)
Would you be happy with a 2-0 canter tomorrow or will you be baying for blood in front of that 60 inch plasma of yours?”

“You people do make me laugh, so predictable, so lame talking to your imaginary friend from what I can see doesn't ever even post on here, then making comments like this ""So posts that talk about team spirit and support of our club get red arrows and everything soccerfoot and his friends say gets green"
You don't mean like when you and your friends put red arrows on everything I say do you ?? nooo, can't mean the same thing can it ? I'm passing around the phone to my usual friday night mates at the pub to read and they all thank you for the big laugh, it is much appreciated on this cold night.”

Seems our american friend still knows how to manipulate the arrows as he was so keen to brag about not so long ago!”

“Liam, why on earth are you comparing us to the big six ? Come on man, try being realistic for once and compare us to the rest of the league that are all on our level. Why compare apples and oranges. Believe me with shirts (even one for my dog), scarves, tickets and beer I have donated plenty.”

“Compared to the money spent by the big six, we've spent little.
How much have you put into supporting the club?
That's right, not a dime.”

“Liam are you serious ? A relatively minor outlay of money ?
We have spent upwards of a 100 million in the last 5 years just on players alone ! Add to that buying the Brit, building a new training facility,player salaries, traveling around Europe and America etc. and you come up with a really really huge amount of money the Coates' have spent.
Apparently you have absolutely no concept of what a lot of money is !”
