ZIV

As far as I know, he could play either on the left wing and as a center (left?) midfielder. Loko fans will correct me if I wrong, but I often saw him there in the middle. So i guess he could play wide) Yellow and Red cards are not common for him (he gets his first yellow of the season in 13-th match or smth near). But I guess it's not really a good statistic. By the way, in Russian Premiership yellow cards comes more often then in EPL, so, as you can imagine, 3 cards a season indicates two things: he's not a harsh player, yes, but with that said his defensive ablilities are poor. So you need a good LB to cover him (if you play him on the wing). He's a son of a Loko 2-nd coach, so he got a special treatment all the way, and never been in conflict with coaches or teammates (not sure what will happen in England though)... I think he's a left-footed, and I doubt he can play right wing, but maybe a CM (as I said earlier). And about the money... Well, no one will answer that at the moment... Russian players coming in EPL are changing due to different style of play. But it is a major boost to their morale, so, I guess, Bilya start will be good (and he's in form right now also), but will he carry it on the whole season - I don't know and can't even make a forecast.

And about nicknames) "Diniyar" is his name and the "-ka" suffix is... hmm... "affectionate diminutive" (don't hurt me, just found this in dictionary =))) "Bilya" or "Bilya-sexy" - that's how other teams fans call him (well, you know he was really popular with girls). Not sure, but maybe you'll get a russian girls-only fan club now) And most of russian football society call him "Bill"... Simple)

Bilya was born in Moscow, so, like most of our young people (born after 1980), he knows English relativetily good. Of course he'll need some practice (and maybe to learn some football specific), but it should not be the problem. quote: "can you give us any more information on Bily?" Maybe I can) but you should be more specific)

Hi) Sometimes it takes a big reason to register on english team forums (such as transfer of a russian player). Wich is a shame, as Everton is very attractive team (wearing the proper blue shirts too =) ). Heh, first of all: look at some songs about him by ultras lokomotiv fans) It's all fun, but I hope he will bring Everton some fantasy in attack. And he has a lucky and pretty powerfull shot too. Hmm, good night)
