I'd argue that Baines makes Pienaar look good and vice versa such is their partnership

If Bilyaletdinov plays wide-right, he'll float inside on his left as he is predominantly a lefty, meaning someone needs to overlap him a la Baines.

Neville or Hibbert?

Lescott played behind Pienaar for most of his first season and he still looked good. If you've got ability I don't think it matters.

Hleb, Beneyoun, Arteta, Pienaar, Rosicky, Nasri, Arshavin etc have all reveled outwide despite being attacking midfielders.

And whilst Neville isn't as quick as Baines he still gets forward and gives his winger support. If Bilyaletdinov can keep hold of the ball like Pienaar does then Neville will get forward more.

And you can always interchange your wingers, I'm sure Bilyaletdinov (if he joins) would get time on both wings.

I'm not sure, I mean even Pienaar can be less than convincing down the left with Baines.

Rosicky, Nasri, Arshavin and Hleb are all exceptional players who play Arsenal's brand of football.

Bilyaletdinov will play Everton's brand of football... with Hibbert or Neville in support... it just doesn't compare.

Well I disagree with that to be honest. Pienaar is arguably one of the most effective wide players around, his assist record speaks for itself. Add that to his link up play and workrate and you've got quite a convincing wide player for me.

We will hopefully have Banega soon (hopefully:unsure:) and a fit Arteta, once we get these players our football will improve dramatically.

I'm haven't seen the lad play so I'm not going to say he's going to be brilliant outwide for us but there's nothing wrong with playing an attacking midfielder outwide, alot of teams do it. Joe Cole at Chelsea, Niko Kranjcar at Portsmouth, Luka Modric at Spurs etc etc. The list goes on and on. Ashley Young's hardly a touch line hugging winger, he plays on the left and cuts inside onto his right foot alot of the time.

As I've said though, our formation is interchangeable and players swap positions. I'm sure Bilyaletdinov would get a chance wide right, wide left and possibly even in a more central position.
 
ToxtethBlue was right from day 1 that Moyes is not interested in winger, he is looking into Pienaar-esque player who could play on the right. If he can feel comfortable there, than there is a chance that he will be successful for us. Definitely we don't have a spot for him in the centre, because I doubt his defensive work is good enough to play as one of the 2 central midfielders, and playing him as AM would put Fellaini and Cahill on the bench, which makes no sense.
But with Bilyaletdinov as a right midfielder we more than ever need attacking right back, I doubt it that Neville can do it on regular basis. And Hibbert definitely can't do it, I still personally would prefer Miguel from Valencia.

Fair enough, I would just feel a lot more comfortable with someone of Baines' ability aiding 'Billy' on the right, if he was to play there.

At the beginning of the summer we would have all agreed right-midfield and right-back were our priorities, we are not being linked with players who can naturally fill these positions, that's my worry.

Bringing a player in who is more natural on the left or in the centre and asking him to play right-wing is like filling square holes with round pegs.

I agree, I'd like to think Moyes is going after a right back. He did go for Naughton earlier in the season so he was looking to strengthen that position.

Maybe Moyes is looking to use him on the left and push Pienaar to the right, I wouldn't do that but he's the man in charge. We'll have to wait and see.
 
i remember him playin on the left for russia in the euros last year, which means peanuts can go right but i'm worried that bilyaletdinovvovovovovov won't strike up the same partnership with baines. just watched his videos on youtube and he seems to play more like arshavin does for arsenal.
don't care where he plays, just sign him ffs.
