I personally have been singing his praises for the last two seasons now, watching the lad week in week out. I am yet to find a player more consistent, more hard-working, more technically able, yet so loyal to a club, which let's be honest he is much bigger than.
Pienaar entering his 4th year at the club, another of Moyes' bargain deals has become a huge favourite at the club and has helped the Blues establish themselves as contenders for Champions League places year in year out.
The Bafana Bafana star is going on 28 this year, and it is becoming increasingly aware that being "contenders" for Champions League places, is no longer satisfactory. With sides such as Champions League winners and finalists Inter Milan and Bayern Munich interested in him earlier this summer, Moyes has had a struggle keeping hold of him. Tottenham also became very hot on the trail of the South African, offering something close to £13M plus Kranjcar if my memory serves me well. However the Toffees have been doing all they can to get Pienaar to sign a new contract offering close to £75k a week. This is very rare at Everton and it shows the intent on keeping such an important player.
Everton are often talked about as a defensive, solid team, but with the likes of Pienaar and his superb flair, first touch, dribbling and finishing ability I think those ages are long in the past. Arteta has been called Everton's stand out player by many, but as has been the case for a while now Pienaar is quite definitely the stand out unsung hero.
Here is a short video of some(and I emphasise some) of the geniuses work.
