Megson: Keen to strengthen
With the money I've got to spend I could probably bring in 10 players but they wouldn't be the right ones.
Megson on transfer plans
Quotes of the week
Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has confirmed he would like to make two more signings before the transfer window closes.
The Trotters have already snapped up the likes of Johan Elmander, Fabrice Muamba and Danny Shittu this summer, but Megson still feels he is light on numbers.
Megson has confirmed he has money to spend on strengthening his squad, although he concedes he would rather have quality than simply bringing in bodies for the sake of it.
"I'd like to bring two more in," Megson told the Bolton News.
"We've got a good nucleus of a squad now but we're a little thin in terms of numbers if we get injuries.
"With the money I've got to spend I could probably bring in 10 players but they wouldn't be the right ones.
"We want to bring two in, I'm hopeful of getting one but, if we don't, we'll just have to go with what we've got."
Bolton have been linked with a move for Fulham's Jimmy Bullard, although it seems unlikely Roy Hodgson would contemplate selling his talismanic midfielder.
