Miralles going gets tough for Irons

Miralles

EXCLUSIVE

West Ham are finding it tough going to prise Kevin Miralles out of Everton.

The Hammers are particularly keen to grab the Belgian because whilst he is essentially a winger he can play in the middle of the attack if required.

The Irons have made a second bid for the 27 year old in the region of £7 million but Everton are highly reluctant sellers.

ClaretandHugh was told exclusively by a top insider: “They don’t want to sell him. It’s as simple as that – we have gone in twice but it’s very tough going.”

It’s been widely reported that the player is in the final year of his contract and that an offer of around the £7 million mark would get him out of Goodison.

But ClaretandHugh was told: “Unfortunately, what hasn’t been so widely reported is that Everton have a year’s option in their favour so it’s very hard.”

    So , forget him then … !! Mirralles , that is … Everton are only hanging on for Millions , and they don’t care where he goes ,,, Horrible Club .
    That Lanzini lad looks fabulous ,,, I have seen some comments that he is Light weight !!
    Being compared to Messi ( that’s rediculous ) , but is Messi a light weight ,,, yes , but he has phenomenal skill . That Lanzini lad is just the same .
    Looking forward to a massive season : Come on you Hammers .

    Our only hope is Miralles really wants out and his relationship with Martinez appears poor. I don’t know if it’s me but I sense other Premier League clubs are wary of our ambition and potential and are reluctant to sell us anybody who will make us significantly better. Man U and Hernandez is another case in point. I think they’d rather sell abroad.

    Think its going to come down to whether Miralles really wants out of Everton,if he does he can dig his heels in for a move.If he is happy to stay there then he wont be fussed.Seems he wants a new challenge from what i have read him say.Guess what happens,happens,such is life 😉

    He is not a world beater if he wants to struggle each year at Everton leave him there,
    If he has desire he will slap in a transfer request which is what they are waiting for so they can keep every penny of there money to buy a couple of more Man U rejects,

  • spyinthesky says:

    Just can’t see him and Martinez patching things up but money speaks so who can guess what the future holds. Everyone fans are all looking down on us at the moment they really font understand the dynamics of our move, but anyone with objectivity knows that’ superiority of theirs is gone now and as time passes we will leave them increasingly in our wake despite thier delusions of grandeur.

    One rumour dies and another re-surfaces. According to Rugriid, today, the Argy, who was supposed to have a medical last Thursday and didn’t is now going to fly in ( yet again) for a medical.
    Is this another Mirales figment of someone’s imagination deal or are we actually going to pick up another striker. Stay tuned for the dramatic finale ( well, maybe) to this award winning drama

    What can West Ham offer Mirallas that Everton can’t? The Hammers have the Europa,but that wasn’t enough to keep him happy last season. He claims he wants Champions League,I can’t see any of the top 4 clubs in England coming in for him so he’ll have to move abroad to a club like Galatasaray to get that. If he leaves Everton for West Ham then they’re going to have to offer well over the asking price and pay huge wages, because I can’t see any other reason why Everton or Mirallas would want to do business with the London club.

      Well Paco he can stay at Everton.We don’t need him anyway.As has already been said if Miralles was keen to leave he would have put in a transfer request.The player can sit it out on the bench for Martinez. Would be interesting if Stones does go to Chelski?

  • Chicken Runner says:

    Haha,Thanks for your opinion Paco.It is greatly appreciated.I have taken note of it!

    Probably one of the Wetpants being a comedian 😀

  • Stingray Stewart says:

    Last Everton fan who came on here came on to tell us all that Ogbonna would be sat on their bench if he had moved to them because he wouldnt get into the team ahead of Jagielka & Stones.Well that assumption will be ****ed when Stones goes to Chelsea 😀
