Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has announced he´ll be actively looking to leave Everton in January if he does not start featuring in David Moyes´ first team.

Bilyaletdinov: "At my club I almost don´t play and therefore I´m of no interest to Dick Advocaat as a first-team player in the national team,

"Of course, I´m not satisfied with this state of affairs. While there´s still time until Euro 2012, I have to change something.

"If nothing changes, I want to change the club in the winter. I´ve already started working on this."

Can any statto tell us the longest succession of games Bily started?

Can't help but feel the lad was hindered.
 

Its a shame, he has the ability as proven on a few occasions, just can't seem to hack the pace of this league.
 
Dunno succession of games but...

09/10 - 16 games started, 7 games from the bench, 6 goals, 1 assist. 6 Europa Cup games, 1 from the bench
10/11 - 10 games started, 16 games from the bench, 2 goals, 2 assist
11/11 - 3 games started, 1 games from the bench


Dont blame him for going and wanting to play for the national side.
 
Cant blame him. Whether he's been misused, or he just isn't that good, it's not worked for him here. Hopefully we can recoup £5/6m for him, which can then be used to strengthen the team (yeah right, straight to the banks)
 

This wouldnt have happened if that vinegar faced ginger goon played him in the middle.

MOYES OUT
 

Sad to see him go. He had the vision to play some wonderful through balls. One of the aspect which is sorely lacking in our team right now.
 
Although the ones saying he never was given a chance in his preferred position certainly have a point, I just have a feeling that bily didn't do himself an awful lot of favours when he was asked to play. Personally don't think his physically attributes aren't good enough to keep up with the strength and pace of the Premiership. No doubt he's a good player, sadly just not for us. So, won't mind seeing him go.
 
I prefer him to Osman. Osman doesn't get stick though because he's "a blue through and through". Crazy really. Seeps right down from the top doesn't it? I doubt Aguero and Yaya Toure are city through and through but they seem to do okay.
 
He's said on numerous occasions that he actually prefers to play on the wing, and does for Russia. All of these 'Moyes has played him out of position' claims are a bit unjustified. As I do think Bily would be better in the hole behind the Saha, I also think Heitinga would be a decent right back but he's told Moyes he doesn't want to play there.

Just as we didn't know Jags has been playing with a broken toe for ages, maybe we don't know what's been said between Moyes and Bily.
