Is Pienaar serious about leaving? Are there any offers? I haven't really followed but he's a favorite of mine. I'd hate to see him leave the EPL. He fits it so perfectly.
And can someone drop an anvil on the heads of the Neville brothers please?
Hard to say. His agent is a bit of a cock apparently, and he naturally wants his cut on any transfer. That being said - Pienaar is 28, so he basically has one more big money pay out I'd imagine. $$$ talks in this day and age, so if Pienaar did go then it wouldn't be the shock of the century.
That being said, Moyes rescued him from Dortmund, and Pienaar has said this many times before - he has a lot of respect for Moyes I don't doubt that.
With the other folks such as Arteta, and Cahill who perhaps had the opportunity to take one final big money pay cheque opting to sign long term deals with us (and perhaps seeing out their career), then Pienaar *may* be tempted to stick around.
I hope so, he stepped up when Arteta was out injured, and him and Baines on the left are one of the best pairings that I've seen.
Strong news that the Yak is going to West Ham - I wouldn't be too upset to be honest, despite his goal scoring record I was shocked when Moyes picked him up, as he was never a Moyes-type player. If it happens we are being linked with Crouch (?@!?!) and Remy. Naturally would prefer the latter (or Donovan if he wasn't so expensive) - the former would be a huge step back to Big Dunc longball days.
