Bolton: no Gudjohnsen

Bolton boss Gary Megson has conceded defeat in his chase to land Icelandic international striker Eidur Gudjohnsen. Several were hoping Gudjohnsen would be willing to return to his old club.

"We need a quality replacement for Nicolas Anelka and Eidur would have fitted the bill but unfortunately he's at a huge football club and he wants to stay there," said Megson.

"Maybe in the summer he would deem it the right time to join Bolton.

"I'll be disappointed if we don't bring in a forward but I won't be worried."
