Stoke City have rejected loan offers for Wilson Palacios and Kenwyne Jones from Leicester City and Hull City respectively.
Potters boss, Tony Pulis has declined to let both players to go out on loan as he believes they both have the potential to become a vital part of life at the Britannia.
Jones has made just the two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season and started only five games this calendar year but Pulis has reiterated that the Trinidad and Tobago striker is going nowhere.
“I haven’t seen any other Premier League clubs selling players. There’s been lots of enquiries about lots of players, but at the moment we want to look after ourselves,” Pulis told the Stoke Sentinel.
“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 City boss, Steve Bruce who managed Wilson Palacios during his time at Wigan has inquired about the Honduran international mooting a potential loan move.
But Pulis has decided to keep on to the 28-year-old midfielder as his performances in training have improved.
“He’s trained really well over the last six weeks and got his levels of fitness up again,” he added.
Last Saturday was the first time since August that Palacios made it into the 18 man squad and even came on as a late second half substitute against Manchester United.
