Megson: No Anelka offers

Bolton Wanderers manager Gary Megson insists he has received no offers for France international striker Nicolas Anelka.
The former Arsenal and Real Madrid star is expected to leave the Reebok Stadium in January, but Megson is not so sure.
He said after his side's defeat at Sunderland: "It's been going on for so long, and Nicolas is probably more used to it than most players in the country, I suppose.
"But from my own point of view, it becomes normal, actually, because all it is, is speculation.
"I would tell you if a club had actually come on to me, or if the chairman told me a club had come on to him.
"I would tell you because there is no point hiding the fact. But at the moment it just seems to be things that are in the papers and in the media that you have to cope with.
"But I think most people will be in the same boat.
"Nobody at Bolton Wanderers wants Nicolas Anelka to go anywhere, and I mean nobody.
"If Nic isn't of the same opinion, then we will have to deal with that as and when. But we are not at that point yet."
