CRYSTAL Palace boss Tony Pulis has revealed his transfer intentions for the final week of the January transfer window.
The manager is hoping to bring in "four or five" new players if he can – but he insists the Eagles will not be breaking the bank either.
And he doesn't want anyone just strolling in and not buying into what he is trying to achieve.
Pulis admitted they are making enquiries for players and is hoping the club can get a bit of luck in landing their targets before Friday's deadline.
"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."
