Mirallas's new deal is confirmed

An established international for one of the world's top-ranked nations, he has, in effect, pledged the rest of his career to Everton; after all, he'll be 32 by the end of this new deal.

If only others, Ross Barkley for one, could show such loyalty and maturity. If Kev can see a bright future for us under Koeman & Moshiri, why can't Ross or even Rom see the positives in our future as our rebuilding project takes shape?

Inconsistent? Yes, but so are lots of wingers, and he can still be mercurial and a potential match winner on his day.

Good on you, Kevin, nice to know you feel this is 'your' club. I wish you and the whole team success next season.

He's obviously not 100% what Koeman is looking for, or he'd be starting every game, but there's no point letting someone of his talent leave on a free if he wants to fight for his place and believes the club is going in the right direction.

I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves next January but I'd love to see him become a consistent performer for us.

He seems to turn it on against Leicester for example. I remember the goal he scored against them last season, when we lost 3-1 at theirs and were in free-fall.

I was with relatives from Leicester, who were obviously celebrating the title win. But they were well impressed when Kev made that goal from nothing, beating players with style. I just said to them, that's what Everton CAN do. They agreed, and said we'd be back this season – which, to a large extent, we are.

Rewarded for failure. Sums up the depths that Everton FC are plumbing under Kenwright's desperate regime and gives all the signals that the era of no trophies and just making up the numbers are here to stay.

The fact that people are happy with this situation is another symptom of how the happy-clappy Premier League sickness has infected even our support, nothing but cannon fodder for the media darlings.

Count me out.

Let's be honest, the fayre that's been dished up has been awful and, apart from the Man City and Bournemouth games, the season has been underwhelming. The away form is embarrassing and some of Koeman's team selections leave me nonplussed.

I tend to agree with what Paul Burns said; it does sum up the depths we are plumbing. I'll be straight here: I expect more of the same next season.

How many quick attackers get better when they hit 30? Generally they lose some pace and became less impactful. Aaron Lennon, for example.

Maybe Mirallas being here can attract his buddy Lukaku, though it will take big signings to make it up. By keeping our good players, the club can also attract better players. COYB.

No crosses, just one shot, few forward passes, spent almost all the game passing and running when with the ball across the pitch or back towards his own goal.

No link-up play with Lukaku (not easy). Only 30 goals in 144 games and only 4 this season after a lot of game time. Simply not good enough.

His Premier League goals since he came in 2012 season have been 6, 9, 7, 4, 4 this season. Average 6. He's had a lot of game time this season. Not good enough.

Perhaps he and Barkley would play better if we had more creative players in the team and intelligent, quick defenders. Also a livewire up front if Lukaku goes or stays and plays alongside him.

Once again... Why?

Maybe age... although 29 isn't that old but yes, a bit of the pace has gone, maybe he has just gone a bit stale after five years here now?

A decent squad player next season but I don't see many starts and don't expect more than what I've seen from him than this season to be honest.

The only thing consistent about him is he flatters to deceive; you can bet your life he will never change.

How can our manager sell our future plans to top 4 Champions League players when he only has 2 years left?

I can't remember which one of the pundits said it, but what we need to do in the transfer market now is buy first team players that are an improvement on current ones. Those who are displaced then join the squad. As the quality of the team goes up, the quality of the players we let go also goes up!

At the beginning of this season, we had a bloated squad with plenty of deadwood taking up wages. Credit to the club for moving so many out this year.
