Liverpool forward Ryan Babel issued an apology and was charged with improper conduct by the Football Association having posted a picture and comments about referee Howard Webb on Twitter following Sunday's FA Cup defeat at Manchester United. On Wednesday it was the account of one of Martinez's players, Mauro Boselli, that created headlines after the striker wrote in Spanish: "Six months at Genoa. I am very happy." A deal to send the Argentinian out on loan for the rest of the season is not yet complete but should be soon, and Martinez said he felt Boselli had done nothing wrong. The Latics boss accepts Twitter's place in modern football, but believes respect for one's fellow professionals remains vitally important. "I think you need to move on with the times and what before was just players talking to the media is now using these kinds of websites," Martinez said. "It is part of the modern game and everything comes down to respect. You have to be respectful with everything you say. "Players are public figures and they need to be responsible for everything they say and do, because they are true ambassadors for kids. "It is important, whatever the way they do it, that they are very respectful. It doesn't matter if it is on Twitter, or other websites or in the media - you need to take that responsibility." Asked if he was annoyed the news about Boselli had broken via the player's Twitter account, Martinez said: "No, because I don't feel he has been disrespectful. He was just happy to announce that we are trying to find a solution to what has been a very difficult period. "I don't see that as a real problem. The deal hasn't been concluded, so in a way, nothing has really been revealed. "We are trying to look at the best option - there are three options that we have for him and we are going to decide the one that is best for the football club, and ultimately, for the player. "But I have always said players are human beings, and you have to understand that. As long as there is respect about everything you do, it is acceptable." Boselli has struggled to make an impact at the DW Stadium since arriving in the summer from Estudiantes, and although Martinez stressed nothing had been finalised with any club, the Spaniard expects a temporary switch of some kind to be sealed imminently. "At the moment I feel that for Mauro to play five months in Italy or Spain, it will be what he needs, just to make that jump from South America into the Premier League," Martinez said of the 25-year-old, who has scored just once for Wigan this term. "Then we will get the real Mauro Boselli that is going to be a massive asset for our football club. "We are trying to finalise that deal. At the moment it is not 100% because Mauro has still got a little tear in his hamstring, and that is the reason why he has not been involved in the last two games, but over the next few hours we will find out what is the final destination for him."
