No big moves for Latics

Wigan Athletic, 12:17, September 1, 2008 ,

Steve Bruce has admitted that he does not expect to do any business for Wigan on the incoming or outgoing front on Monday.

Latics boss watched his current squad of players bring Premier League new boys Hull down to earth with a crash in a comprehensive 5-0 mauling at the KC Stadium on Saturday. And, with Middlesbrough ruling out a deal for Egyptian striker Mido, Bruce looks like settling for what he has got until January, despite losing Kevin Kilbane to a depressed fracture of the cheekbone at the weekend.
Bruce told Wigan Today: "I don't think I will be active today. I don't envisage doing any business at all, I hope not anyway.
"I have been saying for weeks that I'm happy with what I have got, I think I've built up a decent squad here.
"We should have Paul Scharner back from injury soon to strengthen us, it's just a shame we lost Kevin Kilbane to a fractured cheekbone on Saturday.
"He's having an operation and I should think he'll be out for six weeks, you could see the dent in his cheek when it happened.
"It's a shame for the lad because he'd got back in the team against Hull and is a very good player."
