Wigan team `starting to gel' - Martinez
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez insists he has no concerns about fielding Charles N'Zogbia against the team that came close to signing him this summer.
The France international is expected to be part of the Latics team for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash against Birmingham at St Andrew's.
Wigan accepted Blues' bid for N'Zogbia last month but the parties could not agree personal terms and the winger returned to the DW Stadium.
The 24-year-old has a reputation as a difficult player to manage but Martinez could not be happier with his contribution since the deal fell through.
He said: "I think that's well in the past. The transfer window brings you that sort of speculation but once the window closed I've been very happy with the focus and concentration of the players, especially Charles. We forget the players are human beings and the transfer window being open while the competition is going on is really wrong.
"But I've been really pleased with his reaction, the players have been really happy with his attitude and his behaviour and the way he performed on Wednesday showed the talent that he's got. I don't think it's going to affect anyone. It doesn't concern me at all. What is important is the way we're starting to gel as a team."
