Bolton manager knows he needs to increase numbers in his squad
Owen Coyle hopes Bolton will provide the funds for a transfer spree in January as he hopes to cement their place in the top six.
Coyle has transformed the fortunes of the Trotters this term and taken them up to fifth, ahead of some of the division's more illustrious names.
This feat has been achieved on limited funds and after 13 games his side already have more points than his predecessor Gary Megson's achieved in 19 matches.
Bolton are currently £93 million in debt - the majority being owed to owner Eddie Davies - but Coyle feels his side need three new signings to continue their momentum.
Freshen
"I would like to freshen things up," he told the
Daily Mirror.
"I have got my eye on a couple of players. Finance will dictate if we can do it or not.
"Our scouts have been out and about around the world and I could reel off a few names but that would only alert our rivals.
"I would love to be able to bring some in."
Smallest
With one of the smallest squads in the league, Coyle knows that a combination of injuries and suspensions could easily derail their promising start.
"We are operating with 19 or 20 players and I believe in all of them. But if we are able to add one or two we would like to do it.
"When I first came we brought in Stuart Holden n on a free. We signed Vladimir Weiss and we brought in an unbelievable talent in Jack Wilshere."
