Player Valuation: £35m
Sorry, that wasn't meant to be a criticism of Mirallas at all, I was just identifying a reason why he would be less likely to stay. Certain players on our team (Pienaar and Baines, for example) play arguably greater than the sum of their parts, which is added reason for them to stay at Everton. Mirallas doesn't seem to be like that, when he scores he usually does it mostly by himself.You say most of his goals are individual solo efforts or defensive mistakes, yet other than Lukaku and Naismith (at the start of the season) no one else gets us goals. Kev has got a 1 in 3 strike rate throughout the league, this is better than most strikers in the league. You also need a player who produces that moment of magic which Kev can do. In my opinion we should try are best to get him to stay.
I want Kevin to stay, and I agree we need players who can produce goals out of nothing. But from Kevin's perspective, he could probably do that for another team just as well as he does it for us.
