Looks like we are going to miss out on Pienaar.
His agent has made Everton aware he is available and would prefer a move back to everton but everton haven't responded as usual and Sunderland are the first to make an approach.
WHY everton, we are soooo slow when it comes to transfer's, if we miss out on Pienaar i will be gutted, class player's are hard to find on the cheap in January and Pienaar for 5 million is worth it he is what we are missing and him and Baines would tear up sides like they did for 3/4 years.
Is it going to be the usual speculation all month then a loan player who we have never heard off on the last day ? Probably

Leave him to rot somewhere, he did a job for us but has been full of injuries in the last 12 months. It will send a message out to all the other greedy b..tards out there.

Have you got a short memory he held us to ransom we made him he used us thought the grass was greener in cockney land now he wants to come back are surprised we havnt gone in for him

Totally disagree with u mate at the end of the day he s##t on us an who's to say he will get bk to the player he once was at us Mr pienaar we all told u it was all downhill after u left . Huyton blue

He went for less than 3 million to spurs,since going there he has had injuries and hardly played,then spurs have a nerve to say they want 5 million at least,anyway stuff him I think if motes was given half that amount he would unearth another gem

Let him go to sunderland, we got the best out of him and let's have it right he's no spring chicken he's touching 30

Exactly....dont want him....certainly wouldnt pay for him! Let him rot with the Spurs youth team

How can anyone say it is god to bring back a player, who we sold for 2.5 million for 5 million and who has had injuries. Anyway we don't have the money to waste. We need to use whatever money we have wisely. COYB

All fair points, he was good for us though so I'd wade in with an offer but when it comes to personal terms, lower wage than he was on before and no signing on fee. If he really wants to come back then he'll have to accept it, why should he get paid more or the same for being disloyal. Otherwise jog on to sunderland pal.

I hope we don’t re-sign Peanuts, he is a mercenary, he would have been an Everton legend and now he is a bench warmer. I hope the extra money was worth ruining everything he had at Everton

The Shadow

Why would we pay double for what we sold him for ? Pienaar very over-rated as far as I'm concerned, he flattered to deceive and rarely came up with an incisive final pass or goals for that matter. Let him rot with Sunderland give me someone who wants to wear the blue shirt!

What a load of crap you lot talk. Pienaar was our best player in terms of form and ability. He was out of contract last Summer and could have sat tight and left after the season but didn't, earning us the best part of £3M in the process. Everyone knows his true value exceeds what we received for him and also what Spuds now want for him. The player would have stayed had he been offered the same terms as Arteta. All he wanted was parity with him. The fickle fans among you who said good riddance to both Yakubu and Arteta as both had a chequered injury with us should note that neither player has missed a game since they joined their respective clubs. My concern would be how do we pay £5M, now that Villa and Sunderland have apparently lodged an interest. It's pretty well documented that both could outbid us easily.

Id have him back...id drive to spurs to get him infact !

I'd share the driving

Did he ever think that he would get in over a fit bale, lennon or modric etc. he was good for us but he's not getting a game for a reason plus he was a touch injury prone!!

It seems to me that we have going by above texts supporters who are happy with us having over hyped over payed at best average players,no we don't want peanuts or the yak back because my club deserves better,we are lucky at everton to have a manager with a great eye for talent and a owner who mite be poor compared to other owners but I wouldn't swap him for most of the other premier chairmen ,if and it's an if we did get 5million to spend I would trust moysie to spend on some gem he would unearth rather than someone who thought leaving everton for spurs was a step up....gujo

Cannot agree enough with the above, spot on. Let him rot down at Spurs or try his luck elsewhere. We took him on load when he wasnt even getting a match in Germany gave him his chance and he repaid us by doing one to Spurs for money. Dont want him back

For those of you who offered to drive to Spurs to bring Pienaar back. I hope you all comeback together and crash. {Ed025's Note - now thats not very nice..

Bloody hell..........wats that all about...its only there opinion mate we all have one.........g

hi everyone, i would just like to say that i was wrong about the steve ross takeover, however it was not because i lied, it just never got past preliminary inquireies unfortunately :/ so i would like to apologise to my fellow blues and ed for this :/

ricky

Representatives from Steve ross said there was never any contact between themselves and Everton, so you lied again, well done lad.

I don't think anyone believed you anyway, and this smacks of a wind up from the Reds**te. If it is and i an not saying it is, it is in pretty poor taste. TRUE BLUE

Yeah but everything is kept under wraps at everton isn't it lets be honest, and no am not a reds**te :@ so annoyin, i just got it wrong and i appologised stop calling me such a horrible thing :/

I know this is going to sound like a wind up but it is 100% true. My dad lives next door to to Kenwrights daughter in a little village just outside Milton Keynes. During the festive period i was staying at my dads with my young family (we live in Stockholm Sweden now) and we went over for a drink. Spoke to her husband, who works closely with Bill and has been transformed in to a blue. I asked him if the reason we werent sold is because Bill did not want to sell, and sadly he turned to me and said Bill has absolutely no desire to sell... Kenwright is here for a while yet guys, no takeover is planned for anytime soon, just smoke screens to keep fans off his back. However, im very pleased with our holiday points haul, and i think if we can just get 2 attack minded players in, does not even need to be a striker as our defense is sound we only need a goal a game, we just need 2 players who can do what Ossie does, just better. Happy New Year Svenny

Sorry mate, your goig to have to do better than that to convince me :)

It isnt just up to Kenwright, I am pretty sure Green and earl would be heavily involved as well, and what a lot of people forget is Kenwright is essentially Green's puppet, he owes Green money, so if anything, I would imagine Green would have a pretty big say in what happens to Everton.

So Bill's son in law, with whom he works ver closely was willing to betray him just like that. To some bloke who just got off a plane from Sweden?!? Nah, not having it, it smells like it just came out of the back end of a cow to me.

George 61 years young.....
Ithink our Swedish friend should be on the red sh$$e board.
If this were true surely ,with media coverage as it is ,whoever had tried to buy us would have said to the press..."Billy wont sell"..

So many sad kop fans in sweden norway etc everywhere but liverpool it seems .they should get there abba records out instead of annoying real blues fans on here ...tp

I remember a post just like this during the last transfer window...

What little village... I live in a little village just outside Milton Keynes and I know people... Yell me I will march against them!

I am 100% blue, the village is called Whaddon. There is a huge white mansion which has been split in to 4 houses my dad lives in one she lives in the other. This is not a wind up. Anyone involved with any takover enquiry would be subject toa confidentiality agreement so we would never know the reasons for a deal not happening. It was a conversation over a beer, i have only lived in Sweden for 3 years im an expat. As stated in my first post i know it sounds like nonsense but it happened, so i can assure all of you there will be no takeover for at least 3 - 5 years. Please remember this in a couple of years time when Bill is still at the healm. ps my name is not really Svenny its a play on where i live now. I do know that the Miami Dolphins owner did make an approach to take us over which for one reason only was rejected, and that is that the current regime have no intention or desire to sell

I know it... I am going to lurk (kidding I am not)

'Arry has put a price of 5 million for Pienaar, seemss that Martin O Neill has struck first with a bid.

Back to the drawing board me thinks

You never know pienaar could refuse to sign for them if our hat is in the ring.

That's just harry redsack for you, determined to mess up Everton whatever it takes. Hope he gets a good stretch for his tax evasion case.

Waste of time.....why couldnt he just leave us alone....still glad it went wrong on Pienaar for walking away from us.

moyes enters the race for huddersfield hotshot jorden rhodes ...as long as we can pay the fee in instalments a deal could be struck...also strong intrest in man utd darron gibson.....does that mean rodwell would leave or will moyse stick to the five man midfield ,i say that coz the boy rhodes has not played the loan frontman role.........g {Ed025's Note - rhodes would be a good buy in my opinion, but gibson is a poor player, and would not improve the team..

Can see Gibson leaving UTD this window after this spat over boxing day with Rooney and Evans...but Felli, Rodders and Jonny are all better defensive midfielders even Phil Neville is.
SpekeBlue {Ed025's Note - gibson is not good enough for us..he is average at best..

I dont think he is of Premier League standard..good championship player at best! We shouldnt even contemplate buying a midfielder we have a good midfield...striker is priority then maybe fullback cover for Baines
SpekeBlue

We dont have a good midfield, we have good defensive midfielders, but absolutely no creativity apart from Drenthe in the midfield, which is as big as a problem as our striker problem and both need to be addressed

We still create chances...just nobody to finish them! Drenthe..rodwell..fellaini..coleman
Thats a good midfield..strength in the middle with pace down the flanks! Add defoe we'd be flying!
SpekeBlue

Gibbo a bit more attack minded than are ther midfielders and a wicked shot i no the manks dont like him but they hated tim howard could be a bit of shrewd BIZZNESS............g

No no no no no no

Anyone who can add a bit of creativity to the midfield we dont create enough chances {Ed025's Note - thats right pal...van persie would struggle to score for us!..

Where does this illusion that Gibson has a good shot come from?

I think his shooting his strong point and he drives forword , i reckon he would score 8 to 10 league goals.take over from cahill,i would back my judgment on gibbson even though it looks like am in the minority...................g

Check out you tube scored some screamers

Wouldn't it be worth buying two strikers, a combination of maynard, rhodes or sharp. it would probably cost in the region of 6m for two. one could be an instant hit and double their value as we have seen with some of our other lower league signings. Provide some money now kenwright and moysie please take the gamble.
