Nando Pijnaker (Sligo Rovers | Ireland)

Sligo lose 0-3. No Pijnaker nor obviously Mata.

A 2-2 draw. Still no Pijnaker.

Sligo (8th) travel to Shelbourne (1st)

Sligo with the upset 2-1 win.
Still no Pijnaker.

I find it a bit bizarre there hasn't been much Pijnaker to Auckland noise. Corica's mates Danny & Darren obviously rate him very highly and he is wasting his career away in a semi-pro comp. And if I recall correctly, when he most recently re-signed for Sligo, Auckland FC would have already been on the hunt for players. Does he just really love being in Sligo for some reason?

He's ex Ole, they were all made to believe the A League is rubbish. 
There was some rumoured League One type interest, around same time Mata left for Shrewsbury.

Appears Pijnaker did start the new LOI season strong, winning Sligo POM for March. But yeah his AWs spot is under serious threat. Surman, Bindon & even Hughes all in the picture now.

Corica & McFlynn went to the AWs games in Egypt in March. Chatting to players not only about season 24/25 but seasons 2 & 3. I'm sure when 2024 nears an end and if Pijnaker still finds himself in Eire, he's have to consider AFC.
