Which was the better version?

Steven Pienaar record for Everton:

2008-2011 Apps 76, Goals 7

2012 - 2012 Apps 14, Goals 4 (loan)
2012 - 2016 Apps 71, Goals 7

Came back hungrier imho

I think his contribution was more noticeable 2nd time around. We'd been turbo-turd all season until the Jan Window. Him and Gibson made a huge difference.

First time he joined and was alongside Arteta.

Pre Spurs but that might be tainted by how bad he is was at the end.

Also it’s blown my mind that he went there in 2011 so thanks for that.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

He's one of my favourite Everton players. Him and Baines in their Pomp... *sigh*.

He was unbelievable during the spell Arteta had out injured the first time around.

Also didn’t realise his second spell was that long.

 

[maccavennie]

I don't know which one was better, all I know is that he was absolutely class for us.

Lovely footballer and we ain't seen many of them the last 6/7 years

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Not only the goals, but a nice reminder of some of the other decent players we had not so long back too.

when he was played in the middle to

Mental that combined he cost us less than £8m over the 2 spells (£2m from Dortmund, £4.5m to bring him back from Spurs)

That's under 7m.

That's under 7m.

My memory is such a disjointed blancmange that I have no way of separating the two periods.

Whichever he scored the goal against Arsenal in would be my answer.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Arguably our best ever assist the assister?

 

[Timbucktoo]

Lost a lot of respect for him when he could`nt play in a derby because he wasn`t in the right frame of mind, ie I want my transfer to Spurs. I think we were the right club for him, he worked so well on the left with Baines, the move to Spurs was a very bad move for him.
