Andy van der Meyde has revealed he will ask for a transfer from Everton if he continues not to be selected when he's actually sober.
Since joining from Inter Milan 18 months ago, the former Holland international has made just 12 Premiership starts for Everton having been plagued by injury problems and hangovers.
van der Meyde: "If the situation remains this way I will have a big problem,"
"I am in shape but spending my time on the bench or in the stands. I didn't come to England for this.
"If things don't improve I will ask the club to let me go.
"A couple of months ago I even considered giving up my contract. I thought enough is enough. I have been through a horrible time over here."
