“I think we need to bring in four or five players and I’m not talking about spending money on one of them that is extortionate,” said the boss.

“I’m talking about trying to bring players in who have a little bit of experience in the Premier League but also have something to prove.

“That is something very, very important for us because it’s a good group. It’s a smashing group of players here, they’ve worked their socks off for one another.

“We don’t want to bring in people here who are going to stroll around. We want people coming in here who will roll their sleeves up and have a good for us.

“You can go on and on and on about the players who might be available, who might be moving here or there.

“You haven’t got long now to wait to see who we bring in and what we bring in. Just be a little bit patient.”

And Pulis has insisted any new players Palace manage to bring in will be his choice, not from those above him at board level.

He said: “I’ve come to the football club and I like to pick my own players. If I have to pick players on a certain budget, I will do so.

“We have got irons in the fire. We’re just hoping that one or two things will drop for us. The important thing is that everybody understands and recognises the task ahead.

“We have done fantastically well over the last few months, but that’s just the start of it. We know our level and what we can and what we can’t do do.

“I accepted that when I came into the football club. We have to work really hard to get the best that we can get and then get it organised and up and running.”

So what does this/he say?

1. Be patient.

2. I pick the players, if it's within a budget, I work within it.

3. We have to allow for the usual January window shenanigans to allow the deals to happen.

4. He knew what he was joining up for and that a lot of work is needed to maximise ability/talent from budget. (Probably not sign the most obvious and convenient transfer that's presented/available)

As I have persistently alluded, I do not find CPFC2010s voice in any way reassuring on football matters, and I was unsure TP was happy and in control. Now that he has confirmed that he is, there is nothing to pick the bones from. To quote myself, Parish has got out of the way and the voice I wanted to hear has spoken. I'm fine now.

At last a professional manager who conducts himself with great dignity and carries respect. Unlike others before him I actually believe every word he says. Ever since R.Noades started selling our best players off I have never trusted anyone at the club to tell the full truth until Tony Pulis came along, I doth my baseball cap to him and hope we get some new f***ing players in soon.

Nuances. Parish was doing the talking about transfers. When Pulis did talk after matches, he was expressing frustration at our lack of progress ("I thought we'd have players in by now." ) Up to a point, you're right. We did add 2 and 2. But I don't necessarily think we arrived at totally the wrong answer. There may well have been clear-the-air talks between TP and SP over the last 24 hours which resulted in today's comments. He certainly wasn't talking this positively a few days ago. Anyway, who cares now? The great man spoken. Good enough for me. Edited by sydtheeagle (27 Jan 2014 6.38pm) Sydenham by birth.

He went on to say that three parties (two clubs and the player) have to agree a deal and that that's football. His frustration seemed to me to be more with the transfer market in general rather than the board, and if you re-watch the press conference he seemed pretty positive in general. Anyway, onwards we go.

TP has said what everyone needed to hear and I do not believe he is just paying lip service either. The fact that he is committed to the job in hand, still optimistic on signings, claims he want 4 or 5 players in (which indicates there is a realistic chance that 3 or 4 will actually be coming) and more importantly than anything else he has dropped a heavy hint that he is in control of the football side and not beholden to either IM or the owners when it comes to players he wants/needs/signs. Excellent news.
