Should we have bought Pienaar this summer?

His form last season was the reason behind it, yes he hasn't been as good this season but I'm glad we brought him back.

Who would have played on our left if he didn't come back? Nobody.

Oviedo

From a purely business point of view it's all that's wrong with us as a club

I get the impression it was done to please the fans and maybe the players and the manager, too. Nobody's going to criticise the club for bringing back pienaar after his great loan spell, you know?

But the fee, his age, his form. It might not be the slam dunk it looked.

Oviedo

We bought him after Pienaar mate.

Oviedo, as was mentioned in the OP. Or someone else for the 4.5 million we spent.

 

[ToffeeMike]

I think we brought in Oviedo as a long term replacement for Baines IMO.

 

[Goat]

We bought him after Pienaar mate.

Erm??

Im not quite sure how that means he couldnt have played mate.

Erm so

We might not have bought Oviedo if we didn't sign Pienaar.

 

[Goat]

We might not have bought Oviedo if we didn't sign Pienaar.

But you just said he was a long term replacement for Baines mate.

But regardless, we would have spent the 4.5m and the 2.5m on somebody else, who would have played Left Wing.

Ye what.

 

[Brennan]

We might not have bought Oviedo if we didn't sign Pienaar.

.....so then surely your question is stupid in the first place, as we could have easily bought some other winger.

:huh:

Yes he can be used in two positions.

What winger would we have bought for £4.5m?

In hindsight, probably not
but everyone wanted him in the summer as he was class on loan and he was a big fan favourite.
