Would be brilliant if we could bring him in, I remember a couple of years back he tore us apart for Everton at the SoL, think he got a couple of goals as well. SUNDERLAND are keeping tabs on Spurs winger Steven Pienaar. The Black Cats are on the lookout for a natural left-winger and South Africa international Pienaar, who has failed to hold down a regular place at White Hart Lane, where Gareth Bale is an automatic choice, fits the bill. But new Sunderland boss Martin O’Neill insists he has yet to speak to owner Ellis Short about whether he will have money available to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window. Spurs beat off competition from Chelsea to sign the 29-year-old from Everton for £3m 12 months ago, but this season he has been largely restricted to starting Europa League games for Harry Redknapp’s high-flying side. and from another sunday rag Martin O'Neill wants to throw Tottenham flop Steven Pienaar’s career* a Premier League lifeline* at Sunderland. The Black Cats boss has earmarked the South African international as his No.1 target* in this month’s transfer window. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is ready to let both Pienaar and fellow midfielder Niko Kranjcar*, 27, leave this month. Would take Kranjcar as well like, would add some creativity into the middle of the park. 9m for them 2 anyone? Would be two great additions IMO.
