Bolton boss Coyle: I never planned to sell Cahill to Chelsea
Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle insists they never planned for Gary Cahill's sale.
Cahill joined Chelsea during last month's market.
"So I think it was inevitable, if it didn't happen in August, it was going to happen in January, and so it proved. It is up to us, me as a manager and us as a football club, to adjust to that. That's what we've tried to do by getting the ones we've brought in, they're young, exciting players, Tim Ream, Marvin Sordell, Ryo Miyaichi: these are young, talented players, all with pace, and I think all open to improvement, which is great for us."
Coyle told Absolute Radio: "Well, you always have plans. I never ever planned for Gary leaving, I've got to say that, I wish we still had him because he's an outstanding, quality player, but we obviously understand the business side and the practicality of it.

Not another winger please and if we have to get one hazard would be better than this guy who at 27-28 will be worth no resale value. More urgently we need a keane type of player and i was gutted to see us not go for arturo vidal or yann m'vila they would have been excellent additions.
