WANDERERS will be in the hunt for “three or four” players in the January window, says chairman Ken Anderson.

Phil Parkinson is on the lookout for attacking cover and primarily targeting players who are out of favour at Premier League clubs.

Anderson told supporters at the Macron on Tuesday night the club was still losing around £5-6million a year and hoped more supporters could be encouraged to the Macron to help fund transfers and salaries.

“The way this league has gone, the teams have got much bigger squads, more resources, and more cover. We have to go that way,” he said.

“The problem is, yes, funding it. It is a much more difficult league than it was when we were in it two years ago and you have teams like Forest who sell players for £15million to another Championship team. That would never have happened in the past.

“You look at the teams we have tonight and the teams we’ve played so far, I see teams with people sat on the bench and it’s £10-20m worth of players. That is going to be difficult but we know the type of players we want.

“We are still going to be involved in the loan market and there’s the possibility of bringing in other loan players.

“The difference now that we didn’t have in August, or the summer, is that teams who have got players who are not making the starting squad, not sitting on the bench, top Premiership players, are becoming available because they want to play.

“Little bit older – 25, 26, 28-year-olds – a bit like the Karl Henry situation – more experienced, and rather than going a whole Premier League season without playing are looking to go out on loan.”
