Player Valuation: £8m
Can't afford to turn our nose up to the lad. Need a player who can play direct, press the defence and show up to big games. He ticks all of those boxes.
So, not the most insightful opinion I admit!No he shouldn't.Mirallas should feature in every game !!

No he shouldn't.
Really confusing from an outsider looking in as when I've watched him (Obviously, I don't watch him week-in week-out like you) he looks the part. Skillfull, dangerous with the at his feet can go inside or out etc. Must admit, I'm basing this from a handful of full-matches he's started I've caught and a few clips from Match of the Day!So, not the most insightful opinion I admit!
Is it a consistency problem with him? Does he flatter to deceive too often or is he just a luxury player, type that looks quality when you're 4-0 up but doesn't want to know when it matters sort of player?
I was going to say he looked quality at the SOL when we played you but I don't think there wasn't an opposition player alive who didn't look good against our clowns. Sarah Platt from Corrie could turn it on v us.
lol
So, in goes Lookman in every single match then? Good, can't wait.No he doesn't.
How long has he been here,5years and done what,a few good games at first,and now crying about wanting to leave and walking around with Olympiacos shin pads on,no thanks.So, in goes Lookman in every single match then? Good, can't wait.

He’s got the attitude of a 7 year old, mate. The answer to your question is absolutely yes, Mirallas can be the best player on any pitch, but it’s far more likely he’ll not do a tap for an hour then lose interest or do something stupid.
I think people turned on him when he had a bizarre spell of getting sent off all the time for idiotic challenges and threw a huge strop on the pitch to take a penalty in front of Baines and Lukaku - then missed it.
He’s definitely talented. And in my opinion still worth having on the pitch based on ability. But he thinks he’s far, far better than he is and it’s only ever a few hours until his next tantrum.
He's always worn the shin pads mate including the good games you're referring to. There are pictures out there to prove it. Are you okay with Klaasen headed back to Ajax for that ceremony he was a part of a few weeks ago? There's nothing wrong with respecting your breakthrough club and showing love to them.How long has he been here,5years and done what,a few good games at first,and now crying about wanting to leave and walking around with Olympiacos shin pads on,no thanks.

My point is it's that mentality that's the problem. We are not in our position as a club to bench a player that wants away. Honestly I can't blame Kev for wanting to go back to his old club; lots of players do it and I think it's a dream to do so. He's not getting any younger. I would be fine with letting him go next summer but in the meantime it's not right to not play him, especially when he is exactly what some of these poor matches have been missing. He's a professional and he's competitive just like everyone at this level. He will give his all if called upon for us.
Look at Coutinho: a very high profile wantaway this summer that didn't get the move he wanted. What has he done? He's continued to play well for the club that's paying him to do so.
He not good enough to be playing that why he is on the bench,and when he comes off it he attitude is crap,and he put the shin pads on after he was told he could not go there,he then went in the press about his disappointment,and his love for the club and fans, a average at best.He's always worn the shin pads mate including the good games you're referring to.

whilst I agree that was silly, if I recall he was getting brought on with literally the board going up for injury time a few games in a row, almost as if bobby was trying to goad him, like what impact do you expect him to make in that time
for me, as inconsistent as he is, he is still a match winner and when he does perform he makes things happen, again not all the time... but who in the current team now does?
would definitely have him in the team, especially for games like burnley where they are going to sit there and defend the game, players like kev/lookman etc are needed for a bit of magic to beat a man ( of course both never played because ronny is a tool )_
