If he goes off the back of the WC we get a massive profit that Moyes will demand to spend.
If he stays and he gets parity with the top earners at the club then fair enough. That was what I think he/his agent was quoted as asking for, but could have been paper speculation. Pienaar offers enough to the squad to be worth the wage.
What he did say is that he wanted to stay here and he loves that fella...Jebus...so surely he wouldn't lie.
He's done nothing unusual in rejecting our initial offer, happens all the time and this is an important contract for him at 27/28. He's just a modern pro with a family and agent to feed. Welcome to football 2009, Sky have made it taste funny.
