MOYES ON PIENAAR MOVE

Steven Pienaar

David Moyes has reassured fans Steven Pienaar's permanent move to Everton is on course.

The South African midfielder has been on loan at Goodison from German side Borussia Dortmund since July.

The two clubs agreed terms for a possible permanent transfer when the midfielder made the loan switch.

However, reports this week suggested Everton were approaching a crucial deadline concerning the clause that allows the Club to sign Pienaar for a pre-agreed fee.

The Goodison boss has responded to the reports by making it clear everything is on course concerning Pienaar's permanent switch to Everton.

He said: "As far as I know Steven Pienaar's contract is agreed, it's all done. I think it's his agent's money that isn't agreed. As far as I know everything has been done for a while, so I think it is to do with money for the agent."

That is the manager's explanation for the reports that emerged in South Africa this week.

Moyes is keen to secure Pienaar's services, having been impressed with the qualities the midfielder has brought to the Everton side this term.

He added: "Steven has done well for us. Since he came back from the African Nations he hasn't reached the standards he reached prior to that but that can happen.

"He has picked up one or two injuries which haven't allowed him to get a head of steam. Steven is one of the reasons our football has improved. He is a really good football player."

David Moyes' pre-match press conference will be available in full on evertonTV from 1pm, Friday.

Hopefully we will be saying "another good bit of business by Moyes". He is signing a player who will add to the quality and give the squad more depth. Hopefully David will have the money for two or three quality players and get busy in the loan department again with a view to buy. Nearly there. C O Y B

Steven Piennar is a quality midfield player. He can continue to bring in a lot of options for Everton in the midfield. Bravo Steve!

Steven Pienaar is a must for next season,I can't see why the agent is making noises about the transfer dealings of the club, acording to the press it is the agents fee that is causing all the problems, it appears that the tail is wagging the dog. We want and need you Steven ,C.O.Y.B.

Great news oon Pienaar, lets get Manuel Fernandes signed too and then look for a Carrick/Hargreaves/Barry style player in. We could also do with more cover in centrak defence. Get season so far, let's not lose our heads now and get back into Europe and win it next year! COYB!
