Coyle warns Wigan over Al-Habsi
olton boss Owen Coyle has warned Wigan that they will not be able to land goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi on the cheap.[LNB] The 28-year-old joined the Latics on a season-long loan over the summer, in a deal worth £1million.[LNB]He has excelled since moving to the DW Stadium, with a number of assured displays moving him above Chris Kirkland in the first-team pecking order.[LNB]Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is now keen to strike a permanent deal in January, having been suitably impressed by the Oman international.[LNB]Coyle, though, insists there is no guarantee that an agreement will be reached, as he will be looking to bring in a sizeable fee for a player of Al-Habsi's pedigree.[LNB]"The only way they can keep him for good is by paying our club a large transfer fee, if indeed that's acceptable to us," said the Trotters manager.[LNB]"Wigan can make as much noise as they want.[LNB]"Ultimately I will decided whether Ali Al-Habsi is a Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper or not."
