Megson hints at Anelka exit
Last updated: 1st January 2008
Bolton boss Gary Megson has given the clearest indication yet that he may
be forced to sell star striker Nicolas Anelka this month. The France
forward has been linked with a transfer-window move to Chelsea or
Manchester City and Megson revealed he already has contingency plans in
place should the 28-year-old leave.
"I don't have to sell anybody to bring people in and there haven't been
any offers for Nicolas Anelka," Megson said in the Daily Express. "But
there is no point in Nicolas coming out and saying he will stay here
because if Real Madrid suddenly offer to pay him ￡25million a year, that
changes everything.
"We have got a list of players we would like to bring in, though, and we
have contingency plans for every position. We do know the players we would
like to bring in if certain things happen. However, the timescale depends
on whether a certain person is allowed to leave us."
Megson believes the chances of Anelka - who signed a new four-year
contract earlier this season - departing could depend on the "domino
effect" of other January activity, such as Dimitar Berbatov quitting
Tottenham.
"Will Berbatov moving have a big impact on the transfer market?" Megson
reasoned. "Well, somebody, somewhere will do a big deal and once that
happens it can set off a domino effect.
"At the moment, people will be saying certain players are not available.
But once they start doing business elsewhere it tends to have a knock-on
effect."
