Frustrating talent, could have been amazing, but was not consistent and was neither played regularly up front as a 2nd striker or no.10 or as a left or right winger. Oh well
 

Just been looking back ... the last 4 seasons Lukaku, Barkley and Miralles have been clocking up more appearances each year than any of our other attacking players. So we literally have at a stroke lost our entire front line. Obviously Lukaku is far the biggest loss of the three, Barkley and Miralles were both frustrating players to watch, not showing us their talent consistently enough, rarely influencing the outcome of games. Nonetheless losing them has shown up our lack of strength in depth. How do you build a forward line from scratch capable of scoring the goals to fire us into the top 4 ? The answer is that you don't - even if you're Man City. You have to patiently build up your squad strength over a period of years and accept that mistakes will be made along the way, and some players may take time to get up to speed. Unfortunately we made several mistakes last summer, and that's really set us back.
Agree mate. Last year we had a big chance and at the start of the season we were all buzzing . It went wrong as we got of to such a bad start under Koeman and did not have a striker . We are on the way back again now and need the right signings to try and get stronger . We need another good forward as i see Niasse being off loaded . We just need to sign guaranteed starters in this window and hope our new striker can hit the ground running !

Everton EXCLUSIVE: The real reason for Kevin Mirallas’ exit revealed - board are to blame

KEVIN MIRALLAS left Everton this month after being fed false promises by the club’s board last summer.

Mirallas completed a loan move to former club Olympiakos last week and will stay in Greece for the rest of the season.

The 30-year-old only started two Premier League games this term and it would appear his Everton career is now all but over.

Starsport can reveal that Mirallas was told he would play a far more prominent role in the Toffees’ campaign but remained out-of-favour under ex-boss Ronald Koeman.

And while the midfielder had no issues with new chief Sam Allardyce, he wanted to leave after growing frustrated with the club’s board.

A source said: “He was unhappy in Everton, even from the start of pre-season.

“He understood that he would not be the first choice, although when he signed a new contract, he was led to believe that he would be an integral part of the team.

“He had no problem with Sam Allardyce, because he is a new coach. He didn't have a problem with Big Sam at all, more with the previous boss and the board.”

Mirallas joined Everton from Olympiakos for £6m in August 2012 and has made 186 appearances for the club, scoring 38 goals.

But the Belgian ace never truly settled on Merseyside and always had aspirations of returning to Greece.

The source added: “When he left from Olympiakos, he said that one day he would return.

“He spent many extremely good years in Greece, people loved him and respected him, he always wanted to come back.

“Maybe he wouldn't expect that the moment would come so soon.

“Olympiakos doesn't have such quality players like Mirallas. He will be the star of the team.”

Mirallas is under contract at Everton until June 2020 and Olympiakos do not have the option to buy him as part of their loan agreement.

But with Allardyce eyeing reinforcements both this month and next summer, it is unlikely that the Toffees would stand in Mirallas’ way if he wants to leave for good in the near future


Koeman's legacy lives on.
