Oh thank God! I thought this was going to be another potential Manager thread!

One of my favourite players by a mile, it seems so long ago now. Such a pleasure to watch someone with an actual football brain – he'd have thrived for a Guardiola team, if only he could shoot.

He should be are new manager

We spent £45mill on a player not fit to lace his boots.

One of my favourite players.

Him and Baines down the left was unbelievable at times, such a good understanding.

Good times. It was our main line of attack for many games. Never replaced it, and now we have no particular line of attack.

Im here for you Browns.

100%. Never came any closer than that EVER

Think we came close to winning at Chelsea once. Last game of the season. 2007! Jesus

We still haven’t replaced him.

The thing with Pienaar as a player, his "stats" weren't great. 20 goals and 32 assists in 214 games or something.

But you watch him play, him and Baines down that left were for years our main attacking threat. He'd link play, keep the ball, win fouls, drive attacks. He had a superb football intellect, a great example of a "clever" player.

Pulls the pants down to all the Opta-bells that bang on about "goals" and "assists" when genuine influence on a field for a player in his position can mean more for a team.

Cahill and Pienaar! Come back to Everton! As joint managers!
