Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson says they've begun sounding out potential January transfer targets.
"We know what players we want to bring in and there's been a few phonecalls," he said. "But it doesn't always follow that you can do what you want to do.
"A lot of football clubs want to improve their squad - there's very few that are looking to ship players out so it doesn't make it the best time to be trying to sign players."
