Dickinson had a loan spell at League One side Leeds last season

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis says some of his fringe players will be allowed to leave the club when the loan window re-opens.

Players such as Carl Dickinson, Michael Tonge, Andrew Davies and Tom Soares could be set to leave the Britannia Stadium from Monday.

"Their attitudes have been outstanding, whether they've been in the team or not," Pulis told BBC Radio Stoke.

"If it's right for the player and right for us, we'll let them go."

The Potters spent around £20m strengthening their squad with five new players during the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, the only high-profile departures have been midfielder Seyi Olofinjana and defender Ibrahima Sonko to Hull.

Football League clubs are able to sign players on emergency loan deals from 8 September.
