Worried he'll drop out once Phillips arrives

It's possible. Though Ipswich are playing a 4-2-3-1 formation so 2x DM's. Their captain Mosby is one so unlikely to lose his spot. Luongo and Phillips fighting for the other. Luongo did everything he could to keep his spot. Phillips best is better but if he plays like he did for WHU Luongo will be back in the team quickly. Worst case I think it's likely he'll be a regular sub.

Don't see that as a real step up from the Mariners tbh. Can't imagine the money will be great either. Bit of a sideways move.

Yeah. Difference is a lot more games played and a shop front to Europe. Apparently had an Eredivisie deal fall through (other squad priorities) and Ross County sold itself as a stepping stone.

Balard started and set-up the opener with a secondary assist for NAC Breda in a 2-1 win over Ajax (huge!). Won the ball deep in midfield and a great defence splitting diagonal long range pass for a secondary assist. The supporters very happy with his performance.

Highlights here (assist at 2:00):

Circati full game for Parma in a 1-1 draw v Fiorentina. Parma should have smashed them but didn't capitalise. Huge to have a 20yo starting in the Serie A.

Awer Mabil had 3 goals and 5 assists in a 9-0 rout by Grasshoppers over a Swiss amatuer side in a cup game.

It looks like Ipswich has bought in another CM so maybe Luongos outlook isn't so rosy.

It was reported as that to begin with but apparently it was confirmed that he didn't and he said something else.

Apparently he used the homophobic slur beginning with the letter F.
