WANDERERS are preparing to pull up the drawbridge in the final stages of the transfer window.

The Bolton News has learned the club has blocked bids for FOUR different players in the last fortnight and will NOT be listening to loan offers for their top earning stars.

Jay Spearing, Kaiyne Woolery, Josh Vela and Dorian Dervite are all wanted elsewhere but Phil Parkinson has been assured by chairman Ken Anderson that the club don’t have to sell in order to balance the books.

Parkinson has struggled to land two winger targets – one of which is believed to be Middlesbrough’s Muzzy Carayol – but has got offers out for a striker and a central defender and could learn if they are successful next week.

The Wanderers boss could allow some of his fringe players to leave on loan to free up space in his squad and comply with the transfer embargo imposed upon the club by the Football League.

But fears that the Whites may have to allow players out on loan to curb the wage bill have been allayed, and barring extortionate offers in the remaining 11 days of the transfer window Parkinson should be free to retain the squad which has started the season so well in League One.

Wigan Athletic have offered cash for midfielder Vela but two other Championship clubs have also been turned down, it has emerged.

Woolery has also been subject to three cash bids, which have also been repelled according to sources at the club.

Spearing – currently Wanderers’ top scorer and stand-in skipper after Darren Pratley’s unfortunate injury – has attracted two loan bids from the Championship.

Perhaps more surprisingly, centre-half Dervite has been subject to interest from two foreign clubs but his current knee injury is unlikely to make a move possible in the window.
