RIP Steven

.i hope i'm wrong but I don't think we will ever see anything close to the old pienaar.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if we did not see Pienaar again at all this season, or certainly in any form of high-level competitive game.

Unless there's injuries which force Martinez's hand or we play against another lower league opposition then he'll struggle to make the bench.

Great player in his day which I'll fondly remember, but I no longer think he realistically offers anything to the club any more.

apparently his agent has said a return to Ajax is likely to be completed soon. Him and Baines at their best were incredible to watch. it's a shame at his peak he chased the money at Spurs. the player we got back was never quite the same.

In my top 5 for the past decade or two, boss player shame he petered out like this

Tbf I always sided with Pienaar when the debate raged about his exit.
All he wanted was parity with Arteta. To me, it was justified bearing in mind how important he was for us in tandem with Baines.

can't argue with that. certainly at that time his contribution to the team was greater than Arteta.

He will be missed. Shame he's been injured for so long.

 

[Azzurri]

One of the best players we've had this century in my opinion, and he made Baines twice as good.

Sad to see him go if he does, but it's probably the right thing to do for all parties.

Agree but that's maybe harsh on Leighton. I like to think of it as quality player + quality player + near-telekinetic understanding = phwoar.

 

[Toffeelover]

He should not have left us when he did and it was not altogether harmonius if memeory serves me right.

Them 2 together were hands down the best wing pair in the league and one of the best in Europe for years

 

[Saint Domingo]

Baines and Pienaar in their prime was some of the best interplay I've seen at Goodison for years. Gutted that the last few years have been injury ridden, he contributed massively in 13/14 and pretty much salvaged our respectability in 12/13.

One game in particular sticks in my head think we were getting battered 2 or 3 nil at HT by Hull then Pienaar came on second half and we clawed it back for a draw because he just ran everything. Needs to be replaced with top quality.

My favorite ever Everton player. Gutted his time with us has ended with some fans having limited memories of what he was capable of. Love the man and some of my best memories watching the blues was him and Baines on the wing tearing teams apart with interplay straight from the school of science. I hope some of us more appreciating fans get A chance to say a fond farewell.

everything went down hill when people called him "peanuts".
