Good article if anyone's interested. Big season for Kevin ahead I think
At Everton, a club similar with a similar low budget and status—relative to the traditional powerhouses—the situation is wholly different. There, an unfolding master plan will be able to reach the second phase next season.
For the blue side of Liverpool, a new narrative began when David Moyes, who had managed Everton for more than 10 years, left to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, and former Swansea and Wigan manager Roberto Martinez was appointed.
With the appointment of Martinez, the club went for a new philosophy, more progressive and audacious on the pitch than the relatively conservative and careful style of football often propagated by Moyes.
Some clever signings were made, including loan deals for Barcelona’s winger and attacking midfielder Gerard Deulofeu and Chelsea’s Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.
These two players would become constitutive members of the Evertonside that finished the season in fifth place. While Deulofeu has had to return to Barcelona, Lukaku is now signed on a five-year deal.
It was this context, this nurturing and progressive framework, that allowedKevin Mirallas, who had signed forEverton in 2012, to shine in the Premier League last year. SinceEverton, unlike Southampton, seems able to build on last year’s success, it may also spur him on next year.
It is sometimes difficult for talented but raw players to develop during times of unrest and chaos. But the leadership of Martinez and the progressive long-term vision in play at Everton provide players likeLukaku and Mirallas with clarity and confidence.
It will be hard, if not impossible, forEverton to actually surpass last season’s success and break into the top four. But as a forward-thinking club, they will continue to strive for upwards mobility.
In the 2013-14 season, Mirallasscored eight goals in 32 appearances. As per Squawka, he also created a total of 61 chances, more than any other Everton player.
It’s clear that the Belgian winger can play a crucial role in this.

I agree at long last there appears to be forward thinking at Everton and an awakening of ambition.
He has eyes like he's on a comedown after a pill.
Always spins me out a bit, both his eyes and a comedown.
