Mario Melchiot Says Goodbye Wigan Hello Umm Salal

The 33 year old defender has been a fans favourite during his three years at the Latics and since his arrival from French club Rennes he has been a virtual ever present in the side and was installed as club captain during his first season.

He added a touch of class to the back line but I think its the right time for both club and player for him to move on

Even though he had a pretty average year, I was still sad to see him go. Best of luck Mario.

Good luck in Qatar mario. It's a shame we didn't try and get mamadhou dabo on a free transfer.(just joined sevilla) maybe we can get el muhamadi or maybe boyce and gohouri will be given a chance to earn the rb spot
