Bolton boss Megson blocks Sheffield Utd move for Speed
Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson wants Gary Speed as part of his first team plans.
The Daily Express says Megson has blocked Gary Speed's loan move to Sheffield United.
Gary SPEED, the only player to have netted in every Premier League season, is a double shy of 100 career league goals (Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton).
SPEED will be extending his record breaking number of Premier League appearances to 534.
Speed will make Blades switch in January

BOLTON, England (AFP) - Bolton's veteran midfielder Gary Speed is set to join English Championship side Sheffield United on loan with a view to a permanent deal.
Bolton´s veteran midfielder Gary Speed, seen here in action in 2006, is set to join English Championship side Sheffield United on loan with a view to a permanent deal.
Speed, 38, will complete the move in time for United's New Year's Day fixture against Wolverhampton.
The Wales international has been unable to convince Bolton manager Gary Megson that he can still play in the Premier League, forcing him to drop down a division to prolong his career.
Blades manager Bryan Robson told his club's official website: "I tried to get Gary before the season started but Bolton wouldn't release him.
"Since then I spoke to (former manager) Sammy Lee before deadline day and then Gary Megson but got the same answer so it has been an ongoing thing."
