Pulis gives up on Jones

(GSM) – Stoke manager Tony Pulis has admitted that signing Kenwyne Jones from Sunderland is not going to happen. A deal for Jones to join the Stoke squad demands more money than the club can afford.

Kenwyne Jones has triggered interest from Stoke, Liverpool and Birmingham this window. But Pulis has now ruled out the prospect of signing the Trinidad & Tobago international.

“The Kenwyne Jones one, that is not going to happen, and Victor Moses, that was never going to happen anyway,” Pulis said.

“We had Kenwyne here when we first started, quite a while back. I know there has been interest from Liverpool and other clubs and rightly so, he’s a good player.

“But he’s on a lot of money at Sunderland and they want a lot of money for him, it’s been well documented. So we won’t be in that market.”
