Kevin Mirallas

[Deleted member 24970]

Nope. I think team unity and cohesion is more important than a very hit and miss flair player that you can find numerous amounts of all over Europe.

I've been consistent on this view on him too. He is comfortably our most inconsistent player; I'd rather have a winger who offers a bit less than him but does it regularly, than someone who can win games but does it once or twice every six months.

He'd be much better served looking at himself and trying to improve his game than sulking. Just indicates a weak mentality to me - a guy who thinks he should be a winner but can't be arsed actually trying to be one.

On this basis i would say compare Mirallas to Ronaldo when he first arrived. Ronaldo was told he was good and thought it, Mirallas has been told he is good and thinks it, difference now is Ronaldo actually does anything and everything to prove he is a winner - like you say players like Mirallas believe they are winners without doing much about it. If his weekly pay slip pays for his diamond ear rings then he is a winner in his own eyes.

While I get what you mean, he sort of is, as he actually gets goals.

I agree with you on Lennon by the way. It's a no from me.

Mirallas is a weird one as he's a winger who generally can't cross or pass. He's more of an inside forward.

I think having a good crosser of the ball would benefit us, or someone who can unlock defences in the inside forward role like Pienaar. Let's be honest - if Pienaar was fit for the last six months, I think Mirallas would have struggled to get a game; he was that bad.

Not sure why anyone is bothered really - he's been sulking all season and we all knew he was likely off at the end of it. His comments the other week were a massive surprise; his comments now are actually what I expected.

He's a sulker, inconsistent and honestly I won't miss him at the club at all, as he was above everyone else clearly not putting a shift in for the last six months.

£10-15m ish and I'd be happy with that. Trigger the extra year safe in the knowledge that we will get a buyer for him for around that price tag.

Spot on mate !

He's a constant injury concern. He gets played 90 minutes consecutively, then a hamstring or a calf goes.

If a team is batty enough to give us 10-15m for a player who is splits time between physio and pitch, then I'll bite their hand off for that price.

When Mirallas had his good season or two at Olympiacos he played as an out & out forward !!

A true footballing talent, 20 times the player of that little midget over the park Coutinho that most of you wank over every week.

BAWK

Deulofeu will ultimately be his replacement i reckon, whether it be this Summer or next.

 

[Goat]

Cant wait to see that 10-15m scoring 11 goals from midfield when its sitting in the bank.

Some blues turn on players so fast haha...very bitchy some blues.

Mirallas is a quality player. We'd be a weaker squad without him and replacing him and his goAls in our posistion would be very difficult.

Slowly but surely our squad will be turning very average under the current regime. We'll be villa before long!

 

[Rook]

Eh he did choose us over Arsenal. We got him at a good price, he performed well at times and/or wanted to make you pull out your hair. We'll sell him for what we paid for him. We probably need a winger who is going to give us width anyway (especially if the Gerard rumors are true). We'll be OK.

 

[SH1958]

If he doesn't want to play for us sell him & bring in Lennon and Deulofeu

At no point has he said he doesnt want to play for us, infact hes only ever said the opposite.

 

[Khalekan]

If we sell him for 10 m and spend 8-9m on Lennon I'll be fuming

I agree with that.

Lennon did OK in a short spell......but I have been watching him too long to think he is worth spending £9 million quid on.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I agree with that.

He's worth half that with only a year left on his deal. Given the other options worldwide, we'd be mad to spend more than £5m on Lennon and I think Bobby knows it.
