Aye mate, perhaps something more to it than just an injury as updates were few and far between last season as well. Played sound away at Swansea and then we never saw him again after that.

Can't help thinking he's still got something to offer...even if off the bench. In games like the last derby he could have been the difference
Totally agree mate. A Fit Pienaar would still walk into our first 11 imo.
Martinez talked about his at this week's press conference.

step, but to see Tom and Leighton joining the group, that [means] they are at the final stage of any recovery from injury.
"I expect them to be available, with Steven Pienaar, over the next two or three weeks. Before the next international break, I am very much looking forward to having all these players back and all these players feeling like footballers again.

If that timescale is true and he can get back playing for a run of games I'd be made up. Showed glimpses last season most notably against Swansea and Leicester that he's still class.
Hopefully will get some minutes under his belt tonight and make it through unscathed.
It's hard not to think that he'll be completely finished by the time he returns from this injury. A waste of wages at this point

Can't help but think Pienaar is GOT's very own version of Lucas though, the more often and longer he is out with Injury the better he becomes
The same Pienaar that season 1 with Martinez everyone was slating massively for slowing our attacks down when he got on the ball has now become the vital piece missing that causing all our attacks to errr slow down
Is kind of amusing to see how the story changes whenever he is out a long period of games

Thing is, he was fantastic in RM's first season, and was massively slated for no reason. I said it the other day but the amount of our goals he was involved in that season was superb. Unfortunately, injury has all-but finished him now I feel. His body just can't hack the physicality of the Prem anymore, or for longer than 1/2 games in a row anyway.

Never forget too though that he benefited massively on how good he looked by the one world class player we have had in years playing pretty much every game right behind him, they did compliment each other but Pienaar was made to look ten times better than he ever would have without such a quality player in Baines playing his side as well

People believe him too much, IMHO. I don't think he still has something to add to this squad, especially with all these injuries.

No, no one misses it. Naismith on the wing is the future, embrace it.
You know, us humans have a tendency to forget the negatives and focus more on the positives. Pienaar has been out for a long while, we can't even recall what he's like, I thought he was dead ages ago.
