Everton FC fans letters: Steven Pienaar return crucial to Blues’ great revival
THE pivotal moment for the Blues in recent weeks has been the return of Steven Pienaar.[LNB]The little South African is by far our most influential player, and I am including Arteta in that assessment.[LNB]The lad is sure to become a global star at next year's World Cup so why haven't Everton got his contract all sewn up?[LNB]Surely we can't be about to let him go for free on a Bosman?[LNB]I dread to think of an Everton midfield without the little dynamo, but imagine a fully fit line-up that included Arteta, Bilyaletdinov, Jack Rodwell and Pienaar.[LNB]That would surely be one of the best midfields Everton have been able to pick in many a year.[LNB]Harry Scott, Fazakarley[LNB]I WISH some Everton fans would stop picking out a player for 'special' abusive treatment - why do we always have to have a boo-boy?[LNB]At the moment the victim is Jo, who is lambasted for even the slightest transgression while other players' mistakes are glossed over or dismissed as being unlucky.[LNB]Jo played superbly against Spurs last week, holding the ball up to support the midfield and making intelligent runs to create options when we were in possession. Despite this, some 'supporters' chose to pick on the Brazilian and target him as the reason Everton weren't winning the game.[LNB]Give the lad a break, he is only 22, playing a completely alien style of football that does not complement his South American knowledge of the game, and despite this is doing a sterling job under trying circumstances.[LNB]Remember - he cost us nothing so Everton are in a win-win situation with him.[LNB]Frank Lester, West Derby
