Everton FC star Tim Cahill insists Steven Pienaar should think hard before quitting the Blues

TIM Cahill has urged team-mate Steven Pienaar to think hard before potentially turning his back on Everton.The 30-year-old Aussie midfielder is alarmed at the prospect of his club losing Pienaar's talents in the summer, although he admits it remains a possibility.But Cahill, who scored Australia's only goal in a 3-1 World Cup warm-up defeat by the USA on Saturday, insists Pienaar is at the right club for him already. Echoing the sentiment of his manager David Moyes, Cahill said: 'Pienaar is a great player, a good character who is good for this team and we are good for him."I have to respect his decision because I am a professional and I know that he is one of the biggest players for South Africa.'Losing him would be a big loss but I think he needs to see what he would be losing if he left Everton. Hopefully we will sign him because it is a pleasure playing with him.' Cahill made signing a new four year deal with the Blues a priority before jetting off to marry his girlfriend, and then join Australia's World Cup training squad in Sydney.Jack Rodwell has since followed Cahill's lead in extending his Everton contract, but doubts remain over Steven Pienaar.
