Jerome to stay an Eagle

Stoke striker Cameron Jerome looks set to stay at Crystal Palace after Eagles boss Tony Pulis played down talk of a rift.
Pulis signed Jerome during his time at the Britannia Stadium, but the former Birmingham and Cardiff striker struggled to play regular football and was critical of the Welshman after completing his loan switch to Palace.

Jerome's heart must have sunk when Palace confirmed Pulis as their new manager last week, and reports immediately suggested the player could head back to Stoke.

However Pulis says there is no problem between him and Jerome and was actually impressed with the way he performed during the 1-0 win at Hull last weekend.

"I've not spoken to any player personally," said Pulis. "What happened, happened. You get on with it. I've been in the game long enough to take a bit of stick and if I have to dish it back then I'll dish it back.


"That'll all be done between me and the player and hopefully it will be sorted out.

"Watching the game at Hull I thought Cameron did really, really well when he came on. He was doing what he was doing at Cardiff a few years back, running around causing havoc for the whole back four."
