Phil Gartside says Bolton Wanderers will be active in the January market.

"We have never had a transfer window in which we didn't invest money. Ever," the Reebok chairman stated. "There has always been movement in or out. And there has been more players coming in than leaving us, so January will be no different - we'll be looking.

"Whether we find anybody is a different matter. We did our business early in the summer but if we'd waited to sign someone like Elmander in August, we would have been up against it.

"The big clubs are raising the bar so high by bringing this foreign investment in. And that is where it affects us - wages and transfer fees."
