    Wonder if he'd have pushed for a move to Wigan if this injury hadn't happened.

    "I believe that moment has put a lot of things into perspective for me," said Moore. "How l live my life and what I want from my career as a footballer."

    I suspect he realised he had to maximise his earnings while he could, and he couldn't do that at Oakwell.

    Bang on the money mate. He's seen what happened to Ryan Mason who had to retire aged 27 and realised how close he was to that being the end of his own career.

    We could get into the sematics of would we have been in this position had he stayed but if you took both teams as they are now, He's earning more money for a team who are higher in the table than us and on a longer contract.

    He's done well for himself and this article has put it in perspective his way of thinking when the transfer came around in the summer.

    Yeah it's a short career. I feel for them. If it all goes tits up they might have to go out and get a proper job or use the wages they've accrued on normal everyday things.

    Yet his record shows him never hanging around anywhere long

    Not sure he's asking for sympathy. Just makes sense why he would think to maximise his earnings.

    I thought the support he had from the club, team mates, fans and of course our medical team that nursed him back to fitness would have made him more loyal to us and less likely to leave for a smaller club.

    I'd have thought the club that stood by him should have got more of a mention.

    Wigan have more chance of being in this league next season and were willing to pay him substantially more than we were paying him.

    If you look at Wigans and our respective arcs the last 15 years, I think its pretty obvious which club has been more successful

    He's 6"6' fit and strong, every club in the lower leagues needs that kind of player. He scores very infrequently in the championship .He's done well for himself financially and that's his goal. Good luck to him .

    Didn't he get a similar statement like Stendel ? I'm sure I remember very few words about his departure

    More loyal to us? The board were pretty happy to flog him. I'm also proper laughing at the suggestion Wigan are a smaller club

    Wigan last won the FA Cup in 2013. We last won it in 1912. Wigan are above us in the league, and have consistently been above us for a good number of years.

    If we got 4 mill or whatever it was a good price..... We just never replaced him. Im not sure whos benefitted from the money received it certainly wasnt the team. January is too late, they had their chance and they blew it.

    Football comes second to rugby there though.
