Everton play to his strengths.
We can ill afford to do that with all our match-winning superstars.
Great decision to let him go, see he scored and assisted again today and seems to have been Evertons best player the last couple of months.

Pienaar is fudging toss. He was given a chance with us, and showed he couldn't cut the mustard in a team of higher quality and higher expectations; the true 'fish out of water'. So what he's doing well for fudging Everton - Everton are a brick, mid-table average side. There are NO pressures there. The pressure with us, is to finish - at least - in the top 4. He was given a chance and looked fudging woeful.
Who do you drop for left-footed Pienaar anyway? Do we drop Ekotto, even though Pienaar isn't a LB? No, let's not do that. Shall we drop Bale, even though he's one of the best attacking left-sided players in the world? No, let's not do that either. So, where should we play this brick Pienaar then; someone HAS to drop out - we can't play with 12 men.
Not a massive Pienaar fan to be fair then?
He's fudging dogbrick. He shouldn't even have had been signed. fudge knows why some Spurs fans latch onto seriously crap, average players and desperately try to make out they are misunderstood, "under-rated" superstars. No - they're brick, average and not nearly good enough. Pienaar is one of such players. I aint surprised he's doing well at Everton, because they have fudge all expectations. The limit of their ambition, is to i) try and beat Liverpool, and ii) finish in the top half. If they achieve one or both, Moyes - apparently - is "a GHod" and a genius. fudge me sideways.
have to question the manager's sanity for signing him then
Not really - because he soon got rid of him didn't he.
Not really - you give a player a try, if he's toss you get rid. That's exactly what he's done.shame he bothered signing him in the first place, massive 75k a week contract, he is still our player and there is no guarantee that Everton will take him back permanently
yeah, great business all round

By the way, the OP seems to be saying he's having a ball at Everton - so why wouldn't they take him back? As for the wages, seem to recall Everton have paid us a handsome loan fee to cover just about most of it - so, yeah, GREAT BUSINESS ALL ROUND!
The problem with Pienaar is that he another attacking player who doesnt score a lot of goals, to add to midfield of players who dont score a lot. We pretty much got him because we could but had no idea where he would fit in.
