Wigan manager Roberto Martinez believes unpredictability is the key to success next season.
Former boss Steve Bruce assembled a squad of hard-working professionals and added flair players like Antonio Valencia, but he is destined to depart this summer in a multi-million-pound transfer.
The Ecuador winger's future is likely to be decided next week as he returns from holiday at the weekend to consider potential offers from Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Martinez knows he has to scour the transfer market to find players able to give his side a cutting edge, while maintaining the resilience which served Wigan so well under Bruce.
The Spaniard said: "The hardest thing in football is to be unpredictable, and to able to have different way of approaching games.
"That's why we need to sign players who are a little bit different to what we already have - bearing in mind what we have already got is very strong and very talented."

As a swansea fan i wish roberto all the best in his career, a lot of bad things has been said of him in swansea, but he got our club back on the map and I will never forget this. I beleive he will be great at wigan he gets the best out of the players and the football style is excellent and entertaining. The wigan fans will love gomez that player is awesome. All the best for the season wigan I hope you have a successful one.
well heres hoping that he gets the one wigan were interested in cedric konan, this guy is dynamite watch (cedric konan mix) on you tube.he is the missing goalscorer we need he is dying to play in the prem,only fulham and sunderland interested.
your right their, people say that bruce was our saviour but he wasn't Jewel was.
Don't get me wrong Bruce did a fantastic job. But didn't Hutchins make some good signings too.
I was dissapointed that Hutchins got sacked because I felt that he did not get a fair crack of the whip.
His first twelve games were the toughest ones we had played 7 of the top teams at the time. It was no wonder that we lost so many games.
Lets face it the last half of this season just gone was the worst run out of all the seasons.
Sunderland are welcome Bruce I think Whelan knew that Bruce could only take us so far.
Now Martinez hopefully will be the right manager to take us to better things.
He is certainly making all the right noises and positive signings.
I do beleive that Bruce will waste alot of Sunderlands money.
Bruce didn't bring in Valencia, Jewell did
