Wigan boss Martinez denies missing Cleverley, N'Zogbia

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez denies they've been caught short in the transfer market after defeat to Tottenham.

Martinez admitted his side were once again undone by two "very, very soft" goals, but deflected suggestions that the summer departures of Tom Cleverly and Charles N'Zogbia had left his squad severely compromised.

Martinez said: "We have replaced them with players who are here at the football club. I don't think we are the sort of team that can replace players in the transfer market.

"We have to work with our long-term ambition."
