Wigan Athletic, sadly.

Hopefully see him in a Scotland squad soon. Good luck. Been great for us.

Hope he can continue to develop there. I also trust Lennon and Co will already have assumed he was leaving and begun looking elsewhere.

Hopefully works out for him, but I fear a move made for financial reasons. Could have easily stepped up to an SPL club and tried to make a name for himself towards Scotland call ups. Fear is he gets lost in League One.

Yeah time will tell if he makes an impression there.

Fagan walcot moved for £1m to hearts which got me thinking, I think he was a better defender than mullan when at the pars. We won’t have too many problems replacing him.

This makes no sense. Because jcm wasn`t as good as a million pound player he`ll be easy to replace?

Gary Caldwell is the manager so I assume that’s been the lure for JCM, and the money of course. Otherwise why go to a League One team who finished 16th last term!!! I also noticed that Fraser Murray is also at Wigan. Good luck to the lad, hope he gets the right development he certainly needs at this stage of his early career.

I think a lot of pars fans are deluded..Mullen has been in the Scotland U21 squad and trained with the first team. Wigan is a massive step up from us playing the likes of Raith and Arbroath every week..
Imo he will be on decent money and progress..if not then still decent money playing in that league..

Similar to Josh Edwards, he`ll massively improve his wages, the competition level he`s playing against and should hopefully develop as a result. English League 1 is a much much better level than the Scottish championship.

You`d hope he can move up the leagues and break into the Scotland squad given our lack of decent defenders.

It must be financial reasons as Aberdeen were obviously very interested in him.
Gary Caldwell being at Wigan is another reason I’d imagine.
He’s off so good luck Jerry and time to focus on replacements for him and Ngwenya.

It’s not really, the prestige and opportunity window is better, however the standard really isn’t.

Said it countless times but wish him the best of luck and hope he continues to develop enough to become a main stay in the national side soon.

An old army colleague of mine comes from and supports wigan. Follows them home and away.
He messaged me earlier for a chat about jcm.
He said Wigan are basically skint and wouldn`t be offering that big wages.
I said even so probably more than us
He`s probably a replacement for Jason Kerr who has joined hibs.
He also said that at the moment they develop young players and try to sell them on.
Apparently they have sold their last sellable assett a goalkeeper called Sam tickle to Bristol city for an undisclosed fee.

Caldwell is meant to be a bit of a fud. Let’s hope he doesn’t coach the natural talent he has out of him. Wish we had got a fee for him.

Very good player and good luck to him, hopefully he does well!

We should get a development fee, no?

Must admit though, I always thought his posture was horrendous - looks like he hunches something rotten, or is it just me?

I would think he’ll have got a decent sign on fee as well as a better salary.

According to AI we are entitled to a training fee. He has transferred internationally so under FIFA rules we meet the criteria and are due a fee. Not sure how much of a fee, could be just a nominal sum.

He fractured his back whilst at Inverness Caley. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Not sure how accurate salary sport is as it listed Josh Edward receiving £3100 a week. Wigan I suspect won’t be paying this much for a 21 year old.

every move is money related in some way but after 18 months away, maybe he wants to be closer to home as well
