Beattie wants Stoke stay after patching differences with Pulis

James Beattie is ready to snub the advances of Blackburn and Sheffield United and fight for his place at Stoke City , reports the Daily Mail.The former England international insists the rift between him and Pulis is no more and that he is fully committed to playing for Stoke this season in the Premier League .Speaking exclusively to Sportsmail, Beattie said: Whatever happened between me and the manager has all been swept under the carpet now, it's history, we've moved on.I have heard all the reports of interest from Blackburn, Wolves , Wigan and Sheffield United but I want to stay at Stoke and I am happy to stay.I know there has been interest from Championship clubs but, while I'm flattered, I want to play in the Premier League . I last played in the championship two years ago and I don't really want to go back.The Premier League is what it's all about and I'm confident I can still ply my trade there - and with Stoke.Pre-season has gone well so far and I have figured in the games so the manager has certainly made me part of his plans.I'm working hard, I feel great and I definitely want to be part of the team for the first game of the season against Wolves .The 32 year old added: I am on 90 career Premier League goals and I believe I am capable of getting more for Stoke this season.I'm confident I can get another ten at least and get the century under my belt. The fans have been great to me at Stoke and I'd love to hit that 100 landmark and celebrate the occasion with them.
