Moyes: Toffees don't need to sell
David Moyes insists he will only sell players if Everton need to raise money - and at the moment he is planning to keep his squad intact.[LNB] The Toffees have been linked with Tottenham's former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch, with the suggestion being that would pave the way for Aiyegbeni Yakubu to complete a long-touted move to West Ham.[LNB]Speculation also continues about midfielder Steven Pienaar, who is in the final year of his contract but has yet to agree improved terms with the Merseysiders.[LNB]However, Moyes, buoyed by securing Mikel Arteta's long-term future on a new five-year at the weekend, insists he plans to keep the unit together.[LNB]"If the club need money we have players we can sell - but we don't, that isn't the case," he said.[LNB]"We don't need money. We are happy to keep the squad and move along and I think the team we have has got a really good chance of doing well.[LNB]"We have put together a side we want to keep; we think we have a pretty good team and we don't want to get rid of it."[LNB]Arteta's continued commitment to the club was a significant point, according to Moyes, as the Spain midfielder had at least two clubs interested in luring him away from Goodison Park.[LNB]"I think we weren't going to allow it to happen any way," Moyes told the club website.[LNB]"We had said that if you do [want to buy him] you are going to have to come to Everton with bags of money because we are not going to sell."
