Moses irreplaceable for Wigan –Martinez

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez believes that Victor Moses is irreplaceable, following the attacker’s switch to Chelsea.

Moses completed a move to Stamford Bridge last week and Martinez has revealed that he remains open to adding to his squad before the end of the transfer window in light of the departure.

The Spanish boss does not expect to be able to replace the Nigeria international with another individual, however, and says he will simply remain on the lookout for opportunities that might arise.

“It’s a case of finding the players we want to try to improve the squad,” Martinez told reporters. “That’s been a case of whether we’re going to lose any players or not. We have to cope with moving players on. I think Victor Moses was such an influential player and such a special player for us I don’t think you can replace him with another individual.

“You probably have to replace him with another way of playing in that attacking third or find another way to get the players to fulfill his responsibilities. As a whole I’m really pleased with the players we’ve got but I wouldn’t be doing my job properly if I didn’t keep my eyes open because sometimes in the last 48 hours you get opportunities you can’t turn down.”

Martinez added, however, that he had completed the bulk of his transfer business earlier in the summer.
