http://www.toffeeweb.com/season/11-12/rumour-mill/21444.html Sunderland sniffing around Pienaar Amid reports that Tottenham want as much as £5m for Steven Pienaar, Sunderland are said to be lining up a bid for the South African. The 30 year-old's emotional interview after the season closer against Newcastle suggests that he'd rather stay at Goodison Park but such a price would probably be well beyond David Moyes's budget. The Blues' boss would surely balk at paying so much for a player in the later years of his career even if he had that much cash to splash this summer.
I wasn't overly bothered when we appeared to be in for him in January but he seems to have made all the difference to Everton's season after he went there so this would be a good buy if we got him.
Not at 5 million! 30 years old, long contract would be wanted. He's a good player but not too sure at that price though.
Christ, am I the only one thinking that would be a bargain for him? He's adored at Everton and one of their better players, in what is a very good team. I didn't think he would come to us to be honest, sell Gardner bring Pienaar in who would massively improve our team. Wow.
I think the fans would realy be pleased if he came to Sunderland, but as fickle as football fans can be, I think he would be a big hit for them.
I have probably got myself a little bit to excited there using the word bargain... Still, I would be happy to pay 5m for him as I think he could potentially make a big difference to our team.
The Daily Mail has picked up on this one too. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2145488/Sunderland-want-Steven-Pienaar-5m.html
The downside of this supposed transfer, is saggy face, and Levi, always want top dosh, they always played Brucie very well, just recon MoN is more shrewd, and doesent get involved in an ebay type auction.
Case proven, aided and abetted by Mr SHERLOCK SHAMELESS. class vid gonna send it on to my Spurs pals. nice one.
