If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Before replacing Onazi make sure his replacement is a QUALITY and UPGRADE over onazi and not another noname/backwater league player. To me, I think Onazi is still good enough to be a Substitute for us. He shouldn’t start but is good enough to be on our 23

No way.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

I agree. He needs to move to a better league and grab a starting shirt tho else if he remains in turkey, he should remain as a sub until a better quality players knocks him off not one based in Isreal or Norway etc. Except that person is absolutely the best player in that position in that league.

Onazi is still good to be around. It is up to him to sort his career out. Whenet he is ready I am sure he can play his way into the team. He became complacent and paid the price. But he is still young (I hope that is the case), and I don't see why we should be singing a dirge for him now...unless maybe he is ready to take a bow.

Onazi was a beast at Lazio and until Muiatudi snapped his leg in Brazil 2014 he was a very good midfielder!

Onazi's problem is he loses the ball too much. That is probably why Lazio let go of him in the first place. In the modern game, such a midfielder is a liability. He cost us a goal against Algeria by losing the ball in a dangerous area and did the same against England at Wembley.

O love his passion but sorry, he is not what we want going forward. Ndidi/Etebo/Nwakali should be a midfield trio. We then need youngsters to serve as back-up for them.

Matuidi did not snap his leg. His leg was not broken nor did he suffer any fracture. At most he had a sprain. Let's stop all these excuses. Onazi was an average player to begin with so just losing a bit of form puts him below average.

He plays in a position he can't afford to be regressing. Of the Nwakali's don't forget Chidiebere. In the friendly that his brother scored in, he was actually the better midfielder. Also, Azubuike Okechukwu should get another look in.

We have young midfielders who can slide in seamlessly. Include Usman Mohammed of the 2016 Olympics and scorer of the JayJay-like goal against Athletico Madrid. Beast of a midfielder.

I never understood the clamor for Onazi. I don't think he is a top player, neither do I think he is a bad player. I am always indifferent whether he is in the team or not, or if he plays or not. It's the weirdest feeling I have had about a Nigerian player. What am I missing? And I am an EXPERT at FOOTBAL FORMATIONS and team makeup. If you don't believe me just ask me.

He used to be better. Think he got heavy and maybe lacked regular time

Because everybody kept trying to put a lipstick on a pig.............It was so obvious Onazi hasn't been the same since WC 2014.

He was a starter at Lazio then went downhill before moving to Turkey where was also a starter before going down again.

Something is obvious not right with him.................Either Mentally or Physically
