Everton's David Moyes - Best yet to come from Diniyar Bilyaletdinov
RUSSIAN winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has already crammed six assists into his four Everton starts to date, but boss David Moyes believes it could be six months before Blues fans really see the best of the £9m signing.
The left-winger's fertile feet have already drawn comparisons with Goodison legend Kevin Sheedy, and Sunday's performance against Stoke was the first time the Russian has started a game and not contributed a goal-making cross or pass.
But manager Moyes is still urging patience with the 24-year-old.
'In truth, it could be six months or even next season before he's totally right,' said Moyes, 'but the situation we've got at Everton means we've got to play him.
"From that point of view maybe it will help him in the end.
'I think the games that are coming up he will be more than likely put in, and he'll have to pick up the pace a little bit.
'The Russian boy at Chelsea (Yuri Zhirkov) will take a time to settle and get used to it, and it will be no different for Bily.
'He's showed some flashes of good play and some deft touches at times, but it's the strength and the pace he'll need to get used to.'
