Big Sam plans Ewood evolution
Instead he is looking to add about "four or five players" to the group in the hope of improving the team's prospects.
Tugay, Andre Ooijer and Carlos Villanueva are all departing at the end of the campaign and one or two others are likely to follow.
Allardyce is looking forward to wheeling and dealing in the transfer market in the summer.
He said: "While we are all affected by the worldwide financial crisis, we are protected somewhat by the fact that we are in the Premier League.
"It will be a busy summer as we are going through a transitional period with players coming and going.
"Perhaps four or five players would be sufficient provided they are of the right quality. It is about getting a bigger and better squad for next season.
"It is nice to start planning, knowing where we are going to be now our safety has been secured."
At 38 Tugay is expected to call time on his career and Ooijer is returning to PSV Eindhoven. On-loan winger Villanueva will continue his career in Dubai.
Turkish playmaker Tugay will start - and maybe captain the side - on Sunday when he plays his farewell game at home against relegated West Brom.
It will bring the curtain down on his career at the club, spanning eight seasons, after he arrived from Rangers for £1.3million.
The match will be a celebration of his special skills and Allardyce is backing a testimonial for the fans favourite.
Supporters have been snapping up Tugay T-shirts and face masks as a token of their appreciation.
Allardyce said: "Tugay will play, no doubt about that, given his form in the last few games. I am sure he will get a fantastic send-off by the supporters.
"He has had a great eight years and if there was to be a testimonial I would be in full support of that."
Skipper Ryan Nelsen has been ruled out of the match because a torn calf muscle, sustained in the defeat by Chelsea.
On-loan full-back Gael Givet is expected to recover from a calf strain as is Ooijer with a hamstring problem.
