David Moyes has been speaking about the Everton futures of Iliman Ndiaye and Seamus Coleman<\/p>\n
David Moyes wants Iliman Ndiaye and Seamus Coleman alongside him at Everton<\/a> next season \u2013 even if the current club captain is no longer playing.<\/p>\n Asked whether the Blues can move on from having to sell their star players amid speculation over top teams casting admiring glances at Ndiaye<\/a>, Moyes said: \u201cHe is the last person I would consider selling. There are others as well [that I wouldn\u2019t want to sell], but my point is I have no interest in hearing the talk if there is talk out there.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think there is any club that is not a selling club at the right value for their player. I am not saying that means he is for sale, I am not, I just think it is a genuine thing where there is a price where people would say: \u2018well, we have to do something.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBut it is getting too hard to build teams and also supporters are looking for a quick return which managers are not getting. So why would we be giving up their better players?<\/p>\n FOLLOW OUR EVERTON FC FACEBOOK PAGE! Latest EFC news and analysis from via the Liverpool Echo\u2019s dedicated FB page<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMaybe in years gone by when I had to sell Wayne Rooney<\/a>, Jack Rodwell, Joleon Lescott<\/a> and other ones at different times. I do want to change that but I think the club has to change that and the only way we do that is by becoming a bigger club where the players are coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n Moyes<\/a>, who takes his team to fellow European chasers Brentford on Saturday, added: \u201cWe have not established ourselves back in European football yet and from probably 10 years ago it was unbelievable to be in Europe. Now, because of the money and the fact there are more competitions and more games and more revenue that comes in, it means that if we don\u2019t get into that we are not able to pay the big enough wages, the big enough transfer fees.<\/p>\n \u201cThe amount of players I tried to get last summer who wouldn\u2019t or couldn\u2019t come, I think if we could make Europe they might just see Everton a bit different. Not saying they would see us completely differently, but I am trying to get us into a position not where we don\u2019t have to sell.<\/p>\n \u201cI think every club is sometimes in a position where they have to sell. Alexander Isak leaves Newcastle, I am sure there is no way they wanted to sell, but it can be player power, it can be different things as well and it is not just completely down to the money maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n Moyes, meanwhile, insists he wants to keep Coleman<\/a> on his staff, even if Everton\u2019s skipper hangs up his boots this summer.<\/p>\n The Republic of Ireland international, who turns 38 in October, has played in a club -ecord 372 Premier League<\/a> matches for the Blues and is currently in a three-way tie for 10th spot on the club\u2019s all-time appearance list on 433, alongside his former team-mate Leon Osman<\/a> and leading scorer Dixie Dean<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, the right-back has only turned out five times this term after six games last season.<\/p>\n And Moyes said: \u201cI would make a place for him, one way or the other, whatever happened. There are no discussions at the moment, the focus is on the games.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, we\u2019re working on things when we need to but if I\u2019m honest, we\u2019ve not really sat down and talked to Seamus. I talk to Seamus privately, and I\u2019d like Seamus to stay at the club one way or another.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople could question him as a player, but I think he was elite level and what he\u2019s got in terms of the characteristics he brings to the football club, he\u2019s got a lot of Everton DNA in it. I think I need to retain that through the building, whether that\u2019s the academy, helping the young ones or even this morning when he was digging out the senior players, a couple of them for not running back or doing their work correctly.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got a great idea of what the club requires. I have been away from the club, but I think he has been an ambassador for the club probably more than anybody.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was maybe one of the only people the supporters would believe and listen to, so I hope there is a role that we can make if it is not playing. Let\u2019s be fair he has had a brilliant career.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the staff said the other day: \u2018Bloody hell gaffer, what did you pay sixty grand for him for?\u2019 I said: \u2018I know it was far too much!\u2019 We are happy to joke about with it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Moyes has been speaking about the Everton futures of Iliman Ndiaye and Seamus Coleman David Moyes wants…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":524559,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[2765,2689,218,106513,110381,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-524558","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-david-moyes","9":"tag-everton-fc","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-iliman-ndiaye","12":"tag-seamus-coleman","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/524559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
