Asmir Begovic has pledged his future to Stoke City.
The Bosnian keeper had a bust-up with boss Tony Pulis after his failure to appear in a Carling Cup tie.
Yet now Begovic, 23, is back in the team ahead of Thomas Sorensen and content again - ending fears a January bid from Chelsea would see him exit.
He said: "The main thing when you are playing is it answers most of the questions. That's what makes me happy.
"There is a lack of fulfilment when you are not playing. But now I am playing and I am happy."
