Stoke boss Pulis: Jones can be as good as any striker in league

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis says Kenwyne Jones has the ability to be the best striker in the land.

Pulis reckons he would rather have the Trinidad ace in his ranks than the likes of Didier Drogba as Stoke head to Blackpool today.

Pulis said: "Kenwyne can be as good as anyone in the league. He's got everything and on his day I wouldn't swap him for anyone.

"But you have to show patience with forwards. Kenwyne's from a different planet to what we're from, he has a different attitude and approach to life. It's a case of accepting that and trying to get the best out of him."
