Wigan boss Bruce hoping for quiet summer to maintain stability

Wigan Athletic manager Steve Bruce is planning for a quiet summer in regards to the transfer market in abid to maintain stability at the improving club.

The Latics have made massive inroads this term and are pressing for a top-eight finish and Bruce hopes that there is limited action in the summer transfer window.

"I hope there is no need for a big turnaround but you can never tell," Bruce told the Wigan Evening Post.

"We have big decisions to make with the people we have on loan - Mido and Amr Zaki - and obviously there are players we want to bring in.

"It's easier to do business in the summer, I like to do mine quite early, although things can change when players report back for pre-season training.

"Sometimes you get a player who falls out with his club which creates an opportunity, or someone comes back out of condition and that creates a ripple. But I'd like to think I can get things done early.

"We do our homework well on players and try to make sure we bring in signings of the required standard to make us stronger."
