GARY Megson has spoken of his frustration so far in the January transfer window as he looks for talent to help pull Wanderers away from the relegation zone.

The Bolton boss has identified several players he thinks can take the club to safety, including Iceland international full-back Gretar Steinsson and Sweden star Johan Elmander.

But sealing the deals, claims Megson, is a task made more difficult both by the Whites' precarious league position and the fact he has widely-publicised funds to spend from the sale of Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea.

And though Megson is not short on ideas as to who he would like to bolster his squad, he freely admits the mission is made more difficult by his side's continuing inconsistency.

"It does make it harder to sign players," he said. "But it will make Roy Keane's (Sunderland boss) job more difficult and Paul Jewell's (Derby manager) job more difficult.

"I have been in this situation with West Brom. You know the players you want, but you don't always get the ones you actually need."
