Jonathan Walters: Team spirit "no problem" at Stoke City

Stoke City forward Jonathan Walters has insisted that there is "no problem" in the dressing room at the club.

Towards the end of last season reports emerged that Kenwyne Jones had thrown a brick at teammate Glenn Whelan's car after a pig's head was placed in the striker's locker.

Walters told reporters: "There's no problem with the spirit. We're all still mates. These things go on.

"Lots of stuff like this happens at clubs that no one ever hears about. It's just that this was something that everyone did hear about. But it's not unusual."

Walters scored 11 goals for the Potters in 42 appearances in all competitions.
