Bolton boss Coyle cannot rule out selling Cahill

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle will not rule out selling defender Gary Cahill before the transfer deadline falls.

While it will be business as usual for Bolton until such time as any official approach is lodged, Coyle accepts they will not be able to hold off suitors indefinitely.

"There has been no offer. He is my player and I have to make sure he delivers in each game," said Coyle.

"As a manager, I want the best players available for me, but I have also got to be fair to Gary Cahill as well.

"If it is the right thing for Gary and the football club, then that is something we have to look at.

"We are not one of the elite clubs who can be holding onto players, we have always been known as a selling club and that is not going to change.

"It needs to be the right business for everybody involved."

Coyle added: "There have not been any concrete bids, but as people get closer to the end of the window, and they think, 'He is the right one for me', then I don't know. You will have to ask the other managers."
