Fans had the excuse of ignorance when it came to demanding big transfers fees, but following this season, and the revalations at Portsmouth, Hull etc., I would think fans have a different outlook these days.
Whatsmore, it’s been the smaller, less hyped transfers that have proved the most successful for Latics.
Gohouri is a great free transfer, hopefully James McArthur will sign for around £1.5m, still leaving us with a significant transfer budget to work with.
