Tony Pulis wants more West Brom additions, but refuses to rule out Nacer Chadli sale

Chadli played his first minutes of the season in a 3-1 victory in the Carabao Cup and was part of a strong team put out against the League Two outfit.

But Pulis is still open to selling Chadli, who declined to go on his pre-season trip to Austria, if Albion's £25m valuation can be met.

"We'll have to wait and see," he said, when asked if Chadli would be sold. "I thought him and (James) Morrison showed really good attitude, I was pleased with Boaz (Myhill).

"They've all put a shift in, they've been very professional at a ground you could easily slip up."

Pulis admitted he needs to 'fill quite a few areas' before the transfer window shuts and said he played a strong side because 'it's the only team we've got'.

He's hoping to be handing debuts to new players against Stoke City at The Hawthorns this Sunday.

"People around the club, including the chairman, they all know we need to get some players in," he said. "We've got eight days to do it, but we really need to fill quite a few areas of this squad to compete in the Premier League this season.

"We've got to start doing some business. I'm hoping it's not frantic, I'm hoping we'll be getting them in before the weekend, but we'll see."

Albion are still waiting for Pulis to green light a £15m fee for Tottenham defender Kevin Wimmer but Crystal Palace have made their own £15m offer for the Austrian in an attempt to swoop in on the deal.

Morrison returned to the side from his knee injury in the 3-1 win at the Wham Stadium that included goals from Salomon Rondon, Matt Phillips, and Jay Rodriguez.

"He deserved to score," said Pulis, of Rodriguez. "He played really well today and worked really hard. I really thought the front two, him and Salomon, were good tonight. They could have scored a lot more.

"I'm pleased with the attitude of the players because it's a difficult place to come.

"It's so far away from the Premier League experiences they encounter every week with the ground.

"The showers couldn't be turned on afterwards because the lights had to be turned off. "Brilliant, absolutely fantastic. I love all of that. I was brought up at the beginning of my managerial career with cold showers dripping after games. That won't do these lot any harm."
