Steven Pienaar

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I'm surprised about the number of people who have become doom merchants from this transfer. Its the Winter sales, we were not exactly going to spend £200 million on players that are over valued and would see their asking prices and wages drive up dramaticly.

not a huge signing ...people think we should always spend big ,,,this shows a sense of realism ..our squad needs reinforcing ..he might be a good

buy so FFS lets give him a chance

bargain signing!

[ZanSnake 1,211]

If we did get him, at least the chances of Tommy's report more accurate.

I can quite safely say Pienaar is going to Spurs. Sky Sports are reporting Spurs have had their bid for the player accepted.

I hope not.

But if it means we're getting Kranjcar, go ahead

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Yeh thats what I heard and he hasnt agreed personal terms with us and he doesnt see that he can develop with us and Spurs his prefered choice so wouldnt be surprised at all

As soon as Harry opened his gob saying "I fink he's a triffick little player but i fink he's off to Chelsea" then it was almost nailed on he was off to spurs.

You can read Redknapp like a book.

Thank god anyway. Have we honestly been that short of midfielders this season that we've had to field non midfielders there? No. We have sufficient cover,especially if Carlo starts to play Josh a bit more. Not to mention we've now got Lamps back.

Save that £3m for the summer and put it towards a player we need and rate. For now get Ivanovic's contract sorted.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I see your point, but seeing Essien, Mikel and Ramires ALL in the same midfield makes me feel physically sick. So whilst we don't have a shortage of midfielders per se, we have a shortage of specialist midfielders, since we sold two attacking midfielders in Deco and Joe Cole, a holding player in Belletti, and a box-to-box player in Ballack and only replaced two of them.

I think it's more the way they are deployed. Essien,Mikel and Ramires are all class.(most of the time).

I remember when we got Ballack and Jose started to use a horrible, narrow, tight midfield of Ballack,Cole,Lamps and Makelele. I think this is sort of how we're playing at the moment. Not good.

He has more chance playing for us lol what a tard. He wont develop there, no way. So even Tottenham now are prefered more than us to go to. Times are bad lol.

Another one gets away. Hope we do yids 5-0 n Pienaar plays, piece of shit.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

If it's over wages - Good on Chelsea for staying strong.

Agreed. If it was a decent player and we got gazumped on wages by Spurs or any team for that matter,i'd be seriously pissed off. But seeing as it's only Pienaar,then Harry you're more than welcome to him. Especially seeing as they won't have CL football next year. Good luck paying all those wages.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I'd urge Chelsea to ask Tottenham about a loan deal for him, till the end of the season. Would be perfect for us really.

[Ollie 4,400]

There's no way they'll loan a player to us, very unlikely

[Kostas 1,468]

Dunno about that. I expect us to place a bid on the likes of Zenden now..
