Moyes wants Toffees to stick

David Moyes has urged his star players to stay at Everton and resist the temptation of being lured away from Goodison. A number of Toffees stars are being linked with moves away from Merseyside, including Jack Rodwell, who is a reported target of Manchester United.While Tim Cahill has committed his long-term future to Everton, fellow midfielder Mikel Arteta is being linked with Arsenal.Moyes has seen big names leave in the past, such as Thomas Gravesen, and he believes the grass is not always greener elsewhere.The Scottish tactician thinks players should put their happiness first and not be seduced by the offers of fame and riches."Some of the players who have left Everton might say it was the right place for them after all," explained Moyes in The Sun."At the end of their careers, they might look back and say Everton was the best time - they enjoy it here."Even Gravesen, who went to Madrid, would say the same thing."There are lots of players who are going to look back at Everton and say they had a really good time, without winning anything obviously."Meanwhile Moyes believes it will be tougher than ever to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham for fourth spot next season."We don't want to give up on our position but the spending that has gone on at Tottenham and Manchester City makes it much harder for us," he continued."I don't think you can ever go out to finish fourth because of the money that is spent elsewhere."When you looked at it at the start of the season, people were probably saying we would finish eighth."
