Leighton Baines hopes manager David Moyes doesn't have to sell Everton's best players this summer.

After spending five years at Goodison Park, it has become a recurring theme for Baines to witness manager Moyes having to sell his best players.

"Obviously over the years the manager has lost players that I am sure he would have liked to have kept hold of," said Baines.

"Whether the club has needed the money or whether it's because they have received what they consider is a considerable bid for a player they have always done good business.

"The manager has done well in bringing people in at a certain amount and when they have moved on he has tended to double his money or more.

"The club have always been quite savvy in that sense.

"It has never really hindered us and it's never seen us getting any worse.

"But maybe it would be nice to see us hang on to those players and add a couple."
