Wigan boss Martinez rules out Sunderland move for Figueroa
Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez has ruled out Maynor Figueroa moving to Sunderland.
Martinez, who is set to recall Figueroa after injury, will tell Bruce he is looking to increase the size of his squad, not reduce it, in during the transfer window.
The Spaniard said: “We don’t want to lose players especially as we have a thin squad. It pleases me when other managers and other clubs show interest in our players.
“It means we are doing something right. But we don’t need to sell to balance the books.
“We’re in a middle of a big process and we don’t want to lose anyone.
“Last Sunday was a freak result but it has made me more determined to succeed. We want to get into Europe in a period of two or three years and I think we can.”

oh well, thats figueroa staying at wigan, because when martinez says someone is definitely staying put....thats what will happen . . . .i mean when he said cattermole was staying at wigan look what happened !!!!
regardless of what anyone at wigan comes out and says, IF brucie wants figueroa he will get him . . . it all depends if he wants him enough ?
martinez once again shows he is far too inexperienced to be managing at this level . . . maybe he doesn't realise oney talks ? probably because wigan don't actually have any !!!!
the bottom line is if bruce wants figueroa sunderland will sign him . . . end of
