Player Talks Confirmed

[imga=left]http://www.bvb.de/images/kader/Steven_Pienaar.jpg[/imga]Dortmund director of sport Michael Zorc has confirmed Everton have entered talks with the German side over a possible one-year loan deal with a view to a permanent move at the end of the season for 25-year-old midfielder Steven Pienaar.

Despite reports several days ago claiming Pienaars agent has 'rubbished' reports linking his client to Everton, it now appears likely the South African will be at Goodison Park next season.

Michael Zorc: "Everton have contacted us and we are currently talking to the English club"

Looks good, but he has to cut out that stupid Bill Cosby dancing when he celebrates.

It's a done deal.

It's never a done deal with Everton. The amount of players we could have signed over the years makes grim reading from Tore Andre Flo to Sissoko. I suppose for every Flo there is a Forssell and we got away with it that time.

Kings Dock was also done deal, the money was even 'ring-fenced'. :dodgy:

I bought some milk from the shop and I thought it was a done deal, but then a representative from NSNO stopped me at the door and said the milk was off.

Damn it!

a bit of depth at last - hopefully he is a one of Moyes good loan signings a la Joey and Fernandes

strange that if you check the english version of the site it isn't there. Anyone got the enigma machine at hand?

Blue Wiz · July 20, 2007

If it's true.. then It's great news. But I won't trust it until it's stated on the official site.

The Yanks pinched when they made their version of the capture of it from the U-Boat.

Try "altavista-babel fish translation" ok, it reads like someone who's stayed a bit too long in the Winslow but you can make out the gist of the statement. Usefull on other occasions, too, like booking a room/holiday etc.

They tried, but one is still in Bletchley Park (or was recently) at the old BT mansion house that's there. typical of the Yanks, though, rewriting history.Did you know, now that Beckhams there, that they invented football. No,really......
