      Good luck to the lad. He certainly divided opinion and never looked up to the pace or physicality of the Premier league (even Bobby mostly played him from the bench). However, when we dropped down his technical ability shone in the Championship no doubt. Certainly didn’t deserve most of the stick he got but he, like the majority in our squad ain’t irreplaceable either. Let’s hope Uwe can bring some quality in.

        May isn’t done and our best player’s gone

        If he does go, I doubt whether any stick he’ll have taken off the Latics faithful will have had any bearing on his decision – he signed a 3 or 2 year extension whilst Bobby was still here, when he wasn’t a regular & he probably got more stick than he gets now.

        What will make him move is the contract offered elsewhere as opposed to the pay cut that he’s undoubtedly been offered by Latics.

        I agree with Latics offer (we can’t pay with money that isn’t there) & I completely understand Gomez’s decision if he takes the best money offered

        Money talks, I’m afraid.

        No idea where you get the idea that he would have been asked to take a pay cut to stay. I suspect he was simply offered more money at Sunderland than any improved offer on the table from Wigan. That, plus the opportunity to play in the Premier League, plus that chance to stick up two fingers at the neanderthal knobheads at Wigan who didn’t understand him because they know nothing about football… no brainer, I would have thought.

        Good luck Jordi, and thanks.

        Yep..he’ll do reet at Sunderland. He will stand out there ;)

        Or more likely lie, looking for a free kick ;)

        Well, well Mr Martinez; is he not good enough for Everton ?

        Good luck Jordi !

          WTF does Martinez have to do with Gomez going to Sunderland???

          Gomez was a frustrating player for me but as others have said, his quality shone through at this level.

            It’s an assumption to be honest, but one based on the fact that his last contract was signed whilst Latics were still a premier league club raking in £40mill in TV money & with an average attendance about a third higher & when advertising revenue & corporate income was undoubtedly higher. I’d be amazed therefore if the club which has seen it’s income at least half just in TV rights alone is offering players who are coming to the end of contracts signed in the premier league, equal or improved deals.
            Different player & at a different stage in his career, but I read that Gary Caldwell has been offered a new contract which is more than a 50% cut

              Bruce’s style of play will not suit him.

              As we saw in the Cup Final, Bruce now plays the ball through midfield.

              This midfield played in front of the back three;

              Ahmed Elmohamady
              Jake Livermore
              Tom Huddlestone
              David Meyler
              Liam Rosenior

              Figueroa was on the bench.

                It’s noticeable in his farewell message on the club website that he thanks everyone at the club – management, backroom staff, physios, fitness trainers, etc and only thanks the fans who voted him player of the season. Think that’s at least some of the reason he left.
