Jerome seeks talks over Stoke role

Cameron Jerome feels he has been the victim of an "unfair" selection policy at Stoke and is seeking talks with manager Tony Pulis about the matter this summer.

Since signing a four-year deal with the Potters on transfer deadline day last August, forward Jerome has endured a frustrating time, starting only 16 games in all competitions. Although the 25-year-old's opportunities have been limited, he has still managed to contribute a fair share of goals, adding another in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Everton.

That strike - coming two minutes after his introduction as a substitute - took his tally for the season to eight and Jerome believes he should be getting more of a look in. He told The Sentinel: "I have not been given a fair crack of the whip - what I think would be a fair run in the side."
