David Moyes is hopeful of bringing Steven Pienaar back to Goodison Park on a permanent basis when his six-month loan deal expires in the summer.

Pienaar left Everton for Tottenham in a £2.5m deal in January last year but jumped at the chance to return to Merseyside at the end of the last transfer window after struggling to break into Spurs' first team.
The midfielder has been in terrific form since then and Moyes says that the 30 year-old is keen to stay with the Blues. It's likely that a similar fee of around £3m would be required to land the South African international.

£3m yes but any more no.you can not sell a player then buy him back when he's 30 for more than you sold him.Plus if he does sign give him greatly reduces wages compared to what we offered him to stay,as i've said before this whole situation is Pienaar's fault no one else's.
The current Spurs management wouldn?t try too hard to keep a player who doesn?t want to stay with them, but who?s to say that a new manager won?t want to keep him there? If we had anyone with business acumen here, we?d be sewing up a deal for him now. Unfortunately, we haven?t.
Chris,
The deal was he can come back for what they paid.
He's not getting anything like people think he gets at Spurs BTW.

Stephen,
So why are people speculating about the fee, if it?s already been agreed? Do Everton ever do things that straightforwardly?

That's from someone who's ITK, not the club.
Your guess is as good as mine as to how the club operates.

I guess that if Spurs fail to achieve Champions League football that Levy will be looking to trim the wage bill and let Pienaar go without too much of a fuss.
The club is desperately in need of someone who is sharp at legal matters. We?ve had the transfer fiascos of Dan Gosling and Manuel Fernandes, plus the Destination Kirkby and Everton Place development failures which just wouldn?t have happened in a well-run organisation. I don?t necessarily put all the blame on Bill Kenwright, but he must take some responsibility for the failure to bring in someone who understands business matters. How much would that cost, compared to the wages of, say, an average player?
Chris @ 186. You can't come on TW saying that you don't put all the blame on Bill Kenwright!!
Sorry Geoff, I thought I was on Kipper for a minute.
I think he is essential to Moyes's team so we will have to pay whatever he wants. His game has never been about pace so I don't think his age is a problem. At 3m he is a bargain.
Just sign him, he is bloody brilliant for Everton. No pratting around, just get it done. We must have a few mil sat in an offshore account from the fire sale of recent years.
And while you're at it get that little fella from Blackburn to go on the other wing.
Back to the real world, sell to buy - therefore, a protracted transfer window, with little activity.

We are a different team when he plays, by far the most skillful player we have.. He should never have been allowed to leave in the first place. Just get him back, over to you Bill...
Wondering if we can afford his bail yet... let alone a transfer fee?
Simon - I presume you mean Hoilett, which would be amazing and he is the right price (i.e. free) however he'll have the shite, barcodes, spurs and the gunners after him and so I can't see it happening. We won't have Europe to offer any more.
With Drenthe destroying any chance of us signing him we need to stump up the money for Pienaar and also someone else for the opposite wing. We also need to do this without selling one of our star players. The only ones we can afford to lose (in my opinion) are Yobo, Anichebe and Cahill and we won't get much for them.
Another rubbish summer ahead then!

I agree Jon, nothing will be done until the end of August when we have sold someone... Then it will be who,s left..
It always makes me laugh when someone suggests "we must have a couple of mill" somewhere.
As if the club went three years without spending any money and had a couple of firesales because someone forgot there was three mill under the cushions of Bill's couch.

Jon - Yep that's him. I agree, I'm sure he'll end up elsewhere, although we'll probably be linked with him, knowing full well we'd struggle to buy his nan let alone him.
Depressingly, I doubt we'll even get Pienaar. Too many variables, new spurs manager, cost, god, cost and of course we probably have to sell (at the right price) first.
If the last 2 summers are anything to go by, I expect to see a couple of loans in and 1 or 2 out.
God, I'm a miserable bastard - Maybe Blue Bill will cheer me up, with the news we've all been waiting for........

I hope the fee is the same as we recieved maybe cheaper! Because he's a great player and loves playing for us and we love watching him! Come on, BK and the board give the man some cash to invest. There is a good basis to build from you must see that! COYB!!!
mAybe is all of Everton's fans would sell a pint of blood each and donate the money to Everton, we'd probably be able to buy Pienaar
Chris #186 pop a Freedom of Information request at the club and try not to cry at the 6 figure sum they flushed down the toilet (cough paid) for consultancy fees regarding desperation Kirkby
I don't think freedom of information requests works for private companies...
We'd be in the cup final if Peinaar had been avaiable. I'm just worried that Moyes might get the spurs job and decide to keep him at WHL
I know I'm playing guessing games, but wouldn't Peanuts WANT to come back to us, rather than go elsewhere. He's just had his fingers burned at Spurs and if you were a 30 year old professional player, wouldn't you want to play for a side that you probably get into the first team every week.
Thing is though Simon, at 30, he may look elsewhere for one last big pay cheque.
#399 to WHL...what and then Kevin Keegan here, right?
