Reading that Mirallas has an 'awkward' relationship with Martinez amid allegations of broken promises after Dortmund and athletico enquired about him in January, and he was obliged to stay due to squad depth, he then got less game time than expected! Now doesn't this resemble Distin? who knows exactly but I'm not convinced the squad are fully behind RM there have been to many players off form this year for this not to be a major part of our poor season!

No I don't think it resembles distin. Distin was chucked out the squad for poor performances and has barely played all season. Mirallas has been in and out the squad and first 11 since january. Mirallas' problem is his ego.

Would like nothing better than this season just gone to have actually been our transition season and that Martinez has as he says sussed it out now and knows what to do. But come November and everything has gone tits up, most of all I hope our Bill has the guts to fess up.

Mirallas is a totally different situation. 8 months into his first season with us he was banging on about playing in the CL the following season. Every time he goes away and plays he comes out with this. I can't be bothered with him.
It's so disrespectful to the supporters who pay his bloody wages. If he wants to go or is unhappy all he has to do is speak to the club, his agent and manager and come to an agreement. If he has a contract which he signed then he must either wait until the end of it or see if the club will sell him. You don't go and do interview after interview.
Get the money and let the spoilt brat go.

I understand all of the reasoning in these posts, however he does represent one of our better players, getting shot may just open the door for other star players to follow suit ie Lukaku and / or Mccarthy, last thing we need is a mass exodus, the manager needs to stamp his authority get it sorted and strengthen the squad so they are all fighting to be a part of the team in this great club, Ferguson achieved so much at manure but wouldn't suffer fools or players that believed they are bigger than the club. The buck stops with you RM!

Get shut he is a luxury player who half the time you don't even notice he is actually on the pitch. Konoplyanka is available on a free surely we can have a punt on him if we shift kevs wages of the bill and get 10 mill for him.

But Wakka Ferguson got rid of players like Mirallas who showed descent. He won't change as he has been banging on since he first came.
As for him being one of our better players. He is but I would rather have someone supplying the ball for the front men and not being selfish in their play like he is. I think players of their ilk should be given bonus on assists not goals. It would force them to consider others instead of shooting whenever the goal is within range. He is replaceable like anyone in our team and you find equal or better out there so he is not such a big loss.
