Jay Jay Okocha has urged Sam Allardyce to bring in new faces before the transfer deadline and thinks a bigger squad would cope better with the amount of football forecast for the forthcoming season.
"The squad needs strengthening," the Nigerian midfielder told the Bolton Evening News.
"We have been together for a while and we know each other very well but I still think we need a couple more players.
"Europe is going to be a new experience but we must not get carried away and forget to do well in the Premiership.
"We must try and find a balance but we need a big squad to do it with."
