Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has claimed that he is unlikely to make any more signings before the summer transfer window shuts on Tuesday.
The Potters have signed 11 players so far, with £12m man Xherdan Shaqiri and Bosman Ibrahim Afellay among the summer recruits.
With just two points from a possible nine in the Premier League, it was suggested that Hughes could make last-minute adjustments, but the City boss admits that his business is more than likely complete.
"In previous years there have been a lot of late deals but we don't anticipate there'll be too many this time," he told a press conference on Friday.
"I like to get the deals done early, but if something comes along that we hadn't expected that is right for us, then we might have a look.
"We've brought a level of player in which will help us move forward, but of course it'll take time for them to settle, you have to take that into account when you bring in players. Some go through that process quicker than others, some will have to be patient, but there's no reason why they won't be very influential for us."
Hughes has also recruited the likes of Joselu, Shay Given, Glen Johnson and Philipp Wollscheid, as well as a host of young players.
