Should be fit if he has been training with Middlesborough, lots of experience, probably would accept a short term contract. |  |

Would be a very handy signing.
Top player at this level. |  |

Luongo has Championship experience so could be a good signing if he will accept a short deal to the end of the season. Then if he looks good and we get promoted, we could potentially offer him a longer deal.
My only concern is that he’s not a ‘wow, Ipswich are really serious about promotion’ type transfer and we could do far better. |  |

Not sure about that. He has been pretty much a championship footballer his whole career and played at a Wednesday team who have acquired more points than any other EFL team since the start of the year. Hasn't worked out at Boro, but that is a very good league one signing. | |

Agree. What are people expecting?
He would be back up to Morsy and Evans in the middle and wouldn't cost a fee. Ideal signing for me with Camara and Ball either injured or struggling with injury |  | | |

I assume McKenna knows him from their Spurs days. He is a very McKenna-type player, good on the ball, easy on the eye. |  | | |

Would he be included as part of the 22 or young enough up be outside it? |  |

Also he'll be fully aware of how he currently is as is still close with Michael Carrick.
You won't get many better players than him available to a L1 side in January |  |

Feels like a very sensible signing - virtually risk-free. |  |

We'd de-register Ball I assume | | | |

Would be about as good as we can expect realistically. Known by McKenna you'd assume, experienced and ideal to partner anyone we have fit.
If I was being mega picky I'd like a more physical/defensive midfielder to offset Humphreys a bit but I don't think McKenna really stresses that. Ball is the closest to that and he's hardly Pazelle's "African Anchorman" wet dream is he? |  |

Contract to the end of the season with 1 year option?
De-register Ball.
Easy decision. |  |

He'll be part of the under 21 section as he was only 10 years old when he was here a decade ago. |  | | |

Agreed. Looks a very solid signing if it happens
Fitness/sharpness might be an issue and I’ve no idea if he’s been on the slide in recent seasons, but having him train with us and McKenna getting a closer look at him will take care of that part. |  |

Using this time to get fit and understand the way we play, almost becomes a seamless addition who can go straight in to action come January.
Suspect a 6 month deal with option for further 12? |  | | |

Good signing if it goes through and in a position where we're a bit flakey with injuries. |  | | |

With Morsy, Evans, Ball and Camara on decent L1 wages we won't be making a 'wow' signing to cover short term needs.
Also have Humphries and El Mizouni.
Perfect signing in my view. |  |

Luongo and Wickham return to take us up. Pure banter scripting. |  |

At least if he's training here already, KM can cast a good eye over him before committing to anything..
I don't mind the sound of this one. Good solid proven player. And we need more legs in MF.. Wouldn't weaken our squad at all, imo. Once he's match fit and sharp. |  | | |

Equally on point is that Carrick would give KM a very honest and accurate assessment of where Luongo is currently ‘at’. It would as safe a signing as we could get I reckon. FWIW, I really liked him when he was here on loan. But that was a long time ago and probably completely irrelevant now! |  |

In a new weekly series for Town TV, Roy sits down to chat with all of Town’s banter era managers to discuss who was the worst. | |

Luongo would be a great signing. Solid squad player at Championship level, but top draw at this level.
Given the fact that Morsy and Evans have played more than 100 games together, i think they will always start together when possible, but having the likes of Luongo to call on will be invaluable if we find ourselves in a similar injury situation during the second half of the season.
Really wouldn't surprise me if the deal is done and dusted. Add's some much needed experience. | | | |

Absolutely ideal signing really.
First order of business is restoring our squad strength to pre-season levels, which means replacing Dom Ball and Tyreece John-Jules. If we're getting Luongo that happens on January 1st and after a couple of weeks of training with us.
He's played nearly 200 games in the Championship and was the standout player in a midfield that bossed us at Hillsborough last season, he's plenty good enough. As an added bonus, he makes a lot of tackles and wins a lot of aerial balls. |  |

Agreed, good signing.
I wonder if that means El-Miz stays at Orient. |  |
