Everton fans have been left disappointed with Kevin Mirallas’ comments to Sport Foot.

Mirallas criticised Everton for running the team like a business rather than actually caring for their players earlier this week.

The Belgian winger said: “When I left, I felt like it became a business where they bought without really knowing what they were doing.”

The comments have aggravated Everton supporters, who feel that Mirallas needs to concentrate on his own career now.

Mirallas is still on a £70,000-a-week contract at Everton (Daily Star), but his time at Goodison Park appears to be coming to an end.

The 30-year-old has seemingly burned his bridges at Everton, and he was quick to be sent off out loan by Marco Silva, when the Portuguese boss took over.

Mirallas has been sent on a temporary move to Fiorentina, and it seems that a permanent switch will occur at the end of the season.

Everton have coped fine in Mirallas’ absence, with Silva’s options strong out wide.

Everton are currently in ninth place in the Premier League table, and they have shown plenty of signs of promise under Silva so far.
