Before Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Brentford, Rowett said: “We are six or seven weeks in now and we still have players here who will maybe move on.
“Most players who I have had a conversation with know where they stand within the group. I just want to focus on the team I have now. In terms of who goes out, I, of course, have the final say, but I will leave the logistics of doing that to other people.
“No club wants to let players leave if the deals aren’t right, especially with no emergency loan system. I am sure there will be players who are keen to leave and seek a fresh start – that is how football operates.”
Stoke were favourites to win the Championship before a ball was kicked. They lost their first match of the season 3-1 to Leeds and could only record a 1-1 draw at home to Brentford on Saturday.
