West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace stops January sales spree

The head coach would like to add several players to his squad in the new year.

Pulis would like a full-back, a central midfielder and a winger, but he and Peace have different opinions on the importance of the upcoming window.

"Jeremy thinks January is not a good window," said Pulis. "I've spoken to him, I know the score and I know the situation.

"He's been very open and honest, whether I've liked his openness and his honesty is another thing, but he's been very open and very honest with all he's said.

"I prefer it that way."

Pulis may get more money to bring in players should Saido Berahino be sold.

The 22-year-old striker reportedly has a number of suitors, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Spurs and Newcastle.

Peace did not want to sell Berahino in the summer, but with his form blowing hot and cold this season, the chairman could decide to cash in on his prize asset.

Valued at £20 million, Berahino's sale might free up Pulis to do more of the business he wants to in January.

"I think the best thing to do with that one is to wait and see what happens," said Pulis.

"I don't want to lay my cards on the table yet, there's a long way to go until the window opens."

Hoping to stay at Albion for the next few years, there are things behind the scenes that the Welshman would like to change.

"The difficult thing was towards the end of the season the chairman was in talks to sell the club so you hold back and wait and see what's going to happen," he said.

"Luckily for us, and I mean this, the club wasn't sold and Jeremy kept hold of the club."

"There's stuff that I'd like — given the opportunity — to tinker with and move a little bit if I could," he added. "I don't think that's for me to discuss, I think that's for me and Jeremy to sit down and talk about."
