Silly Season January 2014

[Matthew Martinez]

Anybody seen much of Onazi?

He any good, worth snapping up?

 

[efc.1878]

Traore, Onazi and Tadic?

LOL yes please.

With Baines and Barkley signing new contracts, with Jelavic and Hietenga out as well? Would be an incredible window.

I suppose we can dream!

 

[Pabbers]

I would prefer Obiang, than Onazi.

Capoue's looked good when hes got the chance to play in his best position instead of filling in at CB, if hes available i reckon he would be a good signing.
Its ridiculous how many midfielders spurs actually have.

I'd have capoue and holtby from spurs if available at decent prices.

...looking at Onazi, he looks the definitive defensive midfielder. Built like a small battleship, wins the ball and gives it but probably has a better passing range than immediately evident.

 

[tadpole]

..Italian press saying we have made a bid for Ogenyi Onazi.

I've some reservations based on this article from a few weeks ago - http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...-Everton-interest-in-favour-of-Liverpool-move .

....agree, but RM said he wants cover for Kone and Gibson's long-term absences. Traore coming in for Kone still leaves the CM gap, so its not beyond the realms of reason that this lad is the fit.

Onazi joined Lazio in 2011, alongside his teammate, Sani Emmanuel. The pair trialled in Italy following their impressive performances at the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup, in which Nigeria reached the final on home soil, losing to Switzerland.
Onazi was first promoted to the Lazio first team during the 2011–12 season after impressing at youth level. He made his Serie A debut as a substitute in the penultimate match of the season, replacing Senad Lulić in the 90th minute. Lazio recorded a 2-0 victory over Atalanta at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in Bergamo.[2]
Under coach Vladimir Petković, Onazi was granted more playing time alongside Cristian Ledesma in a defensive midfielder role. Notably, Onazi started in a UEFA Europa League match against Tottenham at White Hart Lane, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

Yes please. Never heard of him before today but he sounds like an all action, stocky little ball of muscle who tears up the centre of the park.
He sounds ace

 

[Ashtonian]

Haha how many more Unheard of players is there to get excited about?

Is he good on FIFA?

One thing you can say is a defensive midfielder/ central midfielder should be coming in this window and we should be buying him if we cannot loan any more players in.

Hopefully it will be someone exciting sounding like Legzersnapper.

Just another false headline.
He was asked about his ideas of playing in the Premiere League and then for RS, he was never asked about Everton.
Just another young player fancies playing in the PL story.

 

[uknightbreed]

onazi got sent off yesterday for lazio. tbh it was the first time ive seen him , but he looked a little monster of a player.
very much like a young essien imo

 

[toffeejack]

anyone heard any more about moussa?

after osman's performance today, and the few bits i've heard, the interest sounds genuine and he'll definitely improve us.

 

[AndyZ]

I'd have capoue and holtby from spurs if available at decent prices.

"spurs" and "decent prices". that's like an oxymoron, right?

That lot would probably invoice us for their fax machine ink..no thanks

We're not after Moussa. Moomin is on a trolling trail.
