Russian not happy at his lack of action with Everton

Everton's Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has said he wants to quit the club in January if he does not start seeing more first-team action. The Russia international was back in his homeland for Friday's friendly with Greece. Bilyaletdinov has featured in just four league games this season and the 26-year-old fears for his place with the national side ahead of Euro 2012. "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," Bilyaletdinov told Russian website Bobsoccer. "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." Bilyaletdinov, who joined Everton in 2009 from Lokomotiv Moscow for a fee close to £9million, has 18 months left on his current deal at Goodison Park.
