Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant has no plans to leave the Britannia Stadium despite talk of a move away this month. Pennant is unhappy that he has spent time on the substitutes bench this season.
Pennant said: "I'm in no rush to be going anywhere. I've not asked to leave and the club has not given a signal they want me to leave.<br />
"As soon as the transfer window is over then I won't have to answer these questions any more, and everyone will know I'll be here.<br />
"It's frustrating for any player. You always want to start and play 90 minutes, but if it's not happening then you have to keep plugging away.<br />
"If you then get 40 minutes and you make some contribution to the game, then brilliant, like I have done in the last two games when I've come on and made a goal.<br />
"Everyone knows what I'm capable of - I do as well - so when I get my chance, I'll take it.<br />
"The manager and I haven't really spoken about why I'm not playing or when I'm going to play.<br />
"He's picking the team and it's doing well, but I'm sure when I'm needed I'll get that first-choice nod."
