Unsettled Dave Kitson is considering his future at Stoke after just three months.

Kitson, used to Reading's slick football, was subbed for the sixth successive game in the Potters' 2-1 defeat at Portsmouth on Sunday.
And Kitson has told pals he is not enjoying life up north at the Britannia Stadium, where he earns £25,000 a week.
The brainy hitman has a successful clothing business in London called Chateau Roux which he is devoting increasingly more time to.
