WANDERERS emerged from a fruitless deadline day looking to resume their chase for reinforcements right away.
Although Ken Anderson failed to land a striker before the 5pm deadline, frustration switched immediately towards recruitment and filling up to four vacant loan spots in the squad before August 31.
MK Dons’ attacker Chuks Aneke is understood to be one of the players being seriously considered, and could be offered a deal which is made permanent in January.
Birmingham City left-back Jonathan Grounds and goalkeeper David Stockdale also remain viable targets.
Disappointment among supporters hit fever pitch yesterday as Wanderers lost out on top striker target Joe Garner, who according to reports, is on the verge of joining local rivals Wigan Athletic.
Phil Parkinson had turned to the former Preston North End man after missing out on Bradford City’s Charlie Wyke but speaking this evening, Whites chairman Anderson said he had been unwilling to “enter into a bidding war for a player whose price escalates beyond our own valuation.”
Anderson said he had made two six-figure bids for strikers but claims the club’s failure to land the players had been down to market forces driving up prices.
“Obviously, this is very disappointing but, under my watch, this club shall never repeat the mistakes of the past and we will continue to operate on a commercial and financially prudent basis,” he said.
