Steven Pienaar is adamant that team-mate Marouane Fellaini Everton will not leave in the coming January transfer window.
The 25-year-old joined the Toffees from standard Liege in 2008 for a club record fee of 15 million pounds and has since established himself as a fan favourite at Goodison Park.
Felliani has scored eight goals in 15 games this season and associated with a big-money move away from Merseyside.
Pienaar believes, however, that his Belgian team mate remains outside the emerging window.
"He's enjoying his game at the moment so I don't think he'll want to disrupt progress," said Pienaar.
"He is smart enough not to go.
"I don't think he will go in January. I'm sure the manager will keep him.
"There is much speculation about but he is still contracted to the club, and if we keep going like this, we know that it might be hard to keep up are still keeping him in the future – but who knows? He is very important for us in recent weeks. "
However, the South Africa International stopped briefly Fellaini never time on his spell at Goodison would call, and stated that he would not criticise him if he chose to go.
Pienaar continued: "he is a mature man and everyone makes his own decisions. You must make decisions that risks in life.
"If you're afraid to get out of bed and take a risk, you don't enjoy life. I think if the opportunity comes for him eventually and he takes it that we will wish him all the best, but I certainly don't think it will be in January. "
