Bolton Wanderers hero John McGinlay is convinced Wigan Athletic signing former Trotters goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi on the cheap.
The Oman international faces his old club this weekend.
McGinlay told the Bolton News: "Wigan got Ali Al-Habsi too cheaply in my opinion - but I still don't think he'll be enough to keep them up this season, or keep Wanderers out this weekend.
"I was quite surprised we let him go in the summer for what we did. He's an excellent keeper, and I'm also surprised a bigger club than Wigan didn't come in and try and do some business. Lord knows, Arsenal could have done with someone like him.
"But after spending that time on loan and getting his taste of first team football, there was no way he was going to come back as a number two.
"Ali definitely deserves his shot, but I think he's going to have his work cut out if the Latics are going to pull off another miracle escape, or stop us getting a win on Saturday. "
