Tony Pulis says no to Ivanovich and Wilson and that Albion will not splash the cash (I assume on over priced alternative options).

It might be a typical Albion bluff but I get the feeling we will batten down the hatches, maybe take a loan player or two and see out the season with what we have.

A shame but at the end of the day why spend over the odds for a player who you'd not really want in the squad that starts the 17/18 season.

TP lines up a loan player....that'll go well then, Stairs. I agree we should not sign players unless they improve the squad. My concern is that we said the same in last January's window and that we should wait until the summer 2016 but that turned out be a massive disappointment as well. Do we have any confidence that hanging on until summer 2017 will result in the players we need and want? Previous experience might indicate otherwise

Before many people start slating TP over our 'lack of ambition and signings", etc etc., I'd just like to point out that, pretty definitely and obviously, TP WOULD like to spend loads and bring in several players; what manager wouldn't? His hands are obviously tied, and the level of business won't be dictated by him but by those above him.
I'm pretty sure he would have his targets, and if he doesn't land them I imagine he'll be even more pee'd off than any of US, so let's be realistic about where any frustration and negativity should be aimed at

(Still think that we'll get a couple in before the circus ends though
