Kevin Davies has suggested he could take on the role Nicolas Anelka had at Bolton in the wake of the Frenchman's move to Chelsea from Bolton. Davies will now be expected to help provide the goals that will be missing afterAnelka's departure.
"It's a role I probably prefer," he said. "I've been asked to do a job on the right or the left. But the first couple of seasons with me at the top we had a lot of success and a lot of the lads scored goals off me. So that's probably the way we're going to be unless somebody comes in. Who knows? Last game I played I got brought off at half-time."
His boss Gary Megson said: "We've got a top-class centre-forward playing wide on the right who'd have been at centre-forward if we hadn't had a real superstar in Nic.
"He's a world-class player but it's a good piece of business for the club, they've made a great profit. We feel we'll be okay. We're moving out of the mess but he's not done it by himself. He gets the goals but he didn't bring other things to the team, the work-rate and things like that, so maybe whoever comes in can bring different attributes to help the team."
