'I'm gutted about this one': Wigan Athletic fans react to Joe Gelhardt's exit

Sean Evans: Heartbreak, but only what we expected. He’ll thrive under a coach like Bielsa for sure. Hope to see him in an england shirt one day!

Liam McDermott: Big future coming for this lad he’s gonna he missed

Nathan Griff: Didn’t see enough of him as we should have, hopefully he gets some game time at Leeds. All the best Joffy, sickening part of this whole ordeal #wafc

Adam Hitchmough: You won’t get a better player for £1million unbelievable talent

Danny Jamieson: A supremely talented young man, I hope he gets the chance he deserved with #LUFC. Sad that so much good work at the #wafc academy has been torn apart in the space of two months.

Beth Ashcroft: Always knew it was coming, still doesn't hurt any less

Tom Prescott: Not going to lie, I’m gutted about this one

Simon Banks: As Queen said another one bites the dust

Steve McCormack: An outstanding young player. Leeds United have got a good un here. Good luck to him

Peter Millward: Joe Gelhardt will always be a player we wished we’d seen much more of. It’s really going to be a strange mix of emotions seeing him rip up teams on Match of the Day (maybe in a couple of years) and move on for £50m #WAFC
