I think your alowed 4. I can think of worse moves tbh, Drenthe excites me more the Pienaar ever did + hes a bad snide. Its all gone a bit pathetic for him really, Bale and Lennon out injured and Rose and Livermore get game time ahead of him. Kranjkar is also ahead of him, who i would prefer to have ahead of Pienaar - dont say you weren't told Steven.
 
I must say i wouldnt mind if this happened, yeah he left for the glory but still he was great for us and would add another dimension to our attack again

dunno, but when lennon was injured pavylechenko came on before him and pienaar would have been the logical sub, i dont think harry rates him...
 

Will Tottenham be paying his wages if this happens?

If we could afford the supposed 70k a week he's after then wouldn't he have stayed in the first place, or was the signing on fee the real kicker here?

I'm sorry I just don't like this, he's been awful for club and country ever since he blagged us out of a few awards.

Personally I'd love to see a midfield 5 of:


Rodwell Fellaini
Drenthe Donovan Pienaar​


We know how good at linking up with Baines Pienaar is, Drenthe's done all his best work from the right and Donovan is very capable centrally.

I am totally fine with a 4-2-3-1 as well. I would love this with these players (aka Neville shouldn't be touching this formation with a 10 foot pole). I initially tried to cram this into a 4-3-3 and it didn't quite work as I felt we were lacking upfront.

Having that three a-top midfield + a striker would be awesome. I can only imagine the brand of attacking football that would create. And the SPEED of it all. We would need to work on major movement between Drenthe, LD, Pienaar and Saha, but I think they could do it. Not necessary tika taka, but plain old triangles and one-touch passing. Speed of thought and play to break down ponderous sides. And the final through ball to streaking players. This is what at least Drenthe, Saha and LD specialize in (less so Pienaar, but he could do it).

Although if it was Saha upfront, we would have an absolutely MIDGET front line. Nothing wrong with that, but no target striker = NO HOOFBALL and do we think we could accomplish that? I have no idea what Jags would do with himself.

But in all seriousness, it also means keeping the ball on the ground and reducing the pointless crosses from left and right unless Fellaini or Saha are in the box. That front line is going to have serious trouble heading the ball anywhere. Corner marking will also be intriguing. It would be different play than what we've done.

PLEASE Moyes, PLEASE. If Pienaar doesn't come on loan you could stick Coleman back in midfield, or Barkley.

Side note for USMNT fans:
This is essentially how Jurgen wants Landon to play. Would be great to see before WC qualifying.
 
Less than thrilled. Never go back. Nothing against the bloke, he left for more money, fair enough. But resigning old players in the hope it'll bring the good times back smacks of desperation.
