Didn't realize this lad was out of contact in the summer and he's definitely leaving Wigan. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Colback as a midfield pairing next season
Certainly be a good bit of business if we offloaded Gardner for what we bought him for and brought Diame in for nowt. There's some pretty good freebies going this summer. Id also take figeuroa and rodellega both free. Kalou is free but out of our reach. There some other decent strikers, Ivica Olic and Mladen Petric both free and both miles better than Wickham and Ji

Roberto Martinez expects all his out-of-contract players, which includes Hugo Rodallega and Mohamed Diame, to leave the club. Martinez has said he would like to keep the Colombia striker and the Senegal midfielder, who cost the club more than £7million in combined transfer fees. But both are out of contract next month and can leave the club on Bosman free transfers. Former England goalkeeper Chris Kirkland and Ivory Coast defender Steve Gohouri are the other players whose contracts are set to expire and they will also depart the DW Stadium. "There are four players out of contract and I expect them all to go," Martinez said. "The idea is to keep the same squad size as we had this season, so we need to bring four players in.
Would love us to go for Diame and Rodallega Diame is a fantastic CM and I would move on Gardner, Vaughan and Meyler to make space for Diame and a creative CM like Sigurdsson. As for Rodallega he has been poor this season but the lad does have the ability as we have seen over the last couple of season's, on a free transfer I would bring him in and have him as our 2nd/3rd choice striker
Craig Gordon is a decent freebie for someone too! Agree with shipping out Gardner for Diame, £5million made and maybe £1million spent on signing on etc. Only problem is he would be at the ACON wouldnt he?
I agree Poolie also some other good players i wouldnt mind seeing us go for whos contracts are up Bosingwa Figroll Mathieu Flamini Junior Hoilett Salomon Kalou
I think Martinez will be joining them he'd be mad to turn down another offer to leave. West From would be nuts if he isn't their first choice
he's a very powerful midfielder, has the ability to coast past players with ease, when he's on form he reminds me of dare i say it, yaya toure or patrick vierra, whoever gets him will have a top player on their hands, if they can get consistency out of him
Martinez is a very, very good manager and at a good club could be fantastic! With Emery leaving Valencia they could do a lot worse than appointing Martinez
Wont happen, these blokes are looking for the big pay day. Bruce would have fell for it, but doubt very much If MoN will.
