I'm flabbergasted he signed a new contract in the summer, the writing was on the wall for him with Martinez last year after he selfishly took that penalty against West Bromwich and missed.
His attitude has been a disgrace this season, he has had limited chances through Martinez's refusal to play two wingers and his own downfall, but he's made no effort to impress when he's been on the pitch. Mirallas is a 'me me me' player who's dreadfully inconsistent and has had one too many chances. I was thinking driving home yesterday I couldn't care less if we never seen him again in an Everton shirt and now I've slept on it I feel exactly the same.

He had no choice. Held out, but nobody else would have him.

Yes I noticed he was a bit chubby under his shirt. I rated him last year but he has been weak this season- an ok wild card substitute I suppose but not a starter for me.
We're talking about a world in which clubs will pay £13.5m for Oumar Niasse and a similar amount for Andros Townsend. I'm pretty confident that somebody would have taken Mirallas on a free.

Oh yeah, I'm sure clubs would have taken him on a free, but I think we wanted some sort of fee, and when it was apparent that nobody was going to offer anything near decent, we offered him a good contract which he signed in fear of having to sign a naff one when he's up for free.
Just don't see it. He might not be as good as he thinks he is, but he's still an above average premier league attacker. A genuine match winner on his day. He'll have had plenty of options, but evidently he felt none of them were better than what he already had. I reckon he'll go this summer anyway, with a fee instead of free, so signing a contract just for the sake of it wouldn't have made any sense.

Fair enough. I think he felt as though he was due a better move to a 'bigger' club at the time, but they didn't come in. Money talks, and I think Mirallas signed an extension here for a decent whack for security rather than any ambition.
He is a match winner on his day, but how often is that? Good clubs want consistency and won't pay good money for anything less.
Totally agree.
To be fair to the lad, i think that's something some fans have struggled to realise about him, and one of the reasons why he's been unfairly judged by some. You don't sign somebody with his talent for £6m in their mid 20s unless they have issues with consistency and discipline. If he could put in match winning performances every week then he never would have come to us, it's as simple as that.

He'd get a much much better contract when he's on a free. He'd also have many more clubs after him, your logic is completely flawed.

Why?
Mirallas divides opinion thats for sure. Can be a matchwinner but can also be dross. Under this Manager I can't see him ever getting a run in the side. Its like he has to be a world beater when he gets his chance. And as when he started against West Ham he can get 'over enthusiatic' to say the least. As some have said already, I was surprised he signed a new deal with RM in charge.

Because he's free, the very notion that he'd get a poor contract when he's out of contract is completely wrong. It's exactly the opposite, he'd be in a much better negotiating position.
His attitude has been poor this season, having said that, the man management of him has been terrible. A player with his ability should have contributed so much more this season.
