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):

 

[Quicky]

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.

 

[Quicky]

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.

Is Riley McGree injured? Haven't seen him name for Middlesbrough for a while

Whoops - article I read on this was from the back end of last season, rather than this season.

Sorry foxdog50 and thanks for clarifying hellas_johnny !

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

Cam Peupion hat trick. Third goal is a cracker of a finish.

 

[Quicky]

Souttar full game for Sheffield who are crushing it. He's already a fan favourite.

Robertson bench for Cardiff who lost. They're bottom of the Championship and sacked their manager. Hoping the new manager is better to him. Fans are livid he's not playing. Think he's their best mid.

Devlin and Rowles bench for Hearts who lost, are last and sacked their manager.

Balard started for NAC Breda in 2-0 loss. Has started every game and doing well.

Bos bench for Westerlo in return from injury. Came on as a RB.

Yengi injured, Silvera bench, and Farrel close to a debut at Portsmouth.

Izzo started and Toure subbed on for Randers in 2-2 draw with Mitjylland.

Hrustic started as a RF at his new club.

Circati was rested, common management for him given his age.

 

[Quicky]

Gauci starting for Villa in the cup.

 

[Quicky]

Hrustic started, got an assist and 55' for Salernitana.

 

[Quicky]

Gauci starting for Villa in the cup.

Had 5 saves, 70 touches, 87 pass accuracy and was highly rated.

 

[Quicky]

Circati did his ACL training with Parma.

 

[Quicky]

Boyle has broken hand apparently.

Silvera sub for Portsmouth. Farrell not in squad. Yengi still injured. Big 6-1 loss to Stoke and anchored to the relegation zone.

McGree has returned for Boro with 2 assists in 2 games.

Balard is a fixture at NAC and is putting up some of the best numbers in Europe for an U23 at 6.

Robertson has started the last 2 games for Cardiff after they sacked their manager. Was highly rated in a 1-0 win, their first this season.

Triantis is doing well as a no 6 for Hibs. Miller also started their last game and is in good form.

Luongo unused sub and Burgess out of the squad for Ipswich.

Hrustic a sub for Salernitana in Serie B

Kalik is a starter at Hajduk as an AM. They sit second.

Stensness doing well as a starting CB at Viking. D'Agostino is injured.

Hearts sacked their manager and Rowles and Devlin got starts. Nieuwenhof is injured.

Mabil hasn't been playing for Grasshoppers.

Izzo is a star for Randers and Toure a regular sub.

Stama is back from injury and settling in at Motherwell.

Thats all I can remember off the top of my head. We're struggling to have any strikers regularly score in Europe atm.

What happened to Tom Glover? Can't even get on the bench with Middlesbrough? Actually played some good games for them when he played

Very out of favour. Is no longer selected in their squads. Was inconsistent at Champioship level.

 

[Quicky]

Metcalfe and Luongo are injured and out of the China and Japan games. They're being replaced by Brattan and Yazbek.

His form was good in Championship, only real bad game was against Chelsea
