David Moyes has insisted he will not sell players unless he gives the nod. With all the talk about Felli and Bainsey being talked about in the papers it is nice to hear the boss say this.
Moyesy has said before he wants any deals done as early as possible. Maybe his visit to Holland recently will get us a few early signings. .
Moyesy said: "You're always looking ahead but I think you're always looking short term as well. I'm guessing with a club like Everton that we may have to trade more.
"I still think it will be important that we keep hold of our best players. We lost one last year in Mikel Arteta and Joleon a few years earlier, but we've tended to be not too bad. I hope they get encouragement from how well the team has been playing.
"I've never been comfortable doing it as my job is to build a team but I've got to make sure there is a football club and if that means trading then well that's fine that has to happen.
"There can be a way forward that way."
"The two trades we've done couldn't have been later if we tried. We're not out there to sell our players so we can't tell clubs to come in earlier because I don't want to sell.
"So I'm not going out there as a salesman to try to sell them. If people come in late then there's not a lot I can do about it."
