And thank you. The last piece of the jigsaw puzzle in 22/23 when he arrived.
Immense last season too.
I remember writing this after Forest Green at home in Feb 23.

After the Evans years of cycling through players that purely came to collect a cheque/begin their stages of retirement, it has been hugely refreshing to have a player like Mass hasn't it?
He's one of those players that walks off the pitch and you can tell from looking at him that he has literally given it everything. Turned out to be a superb signing on a free.
Thanks for the memories Mass! |  | | |

Love the way he played the game - one of my favourite Town players in recent times. |  | | |

Make him captain on Saturday. |  |

Excellent footballing brain, reads the game so well. Knew when to cover Leif or get forward himself. Gave a lot more security on that left side. We have missed him. We always saw the best of Morsy when he had Mass alongside him. Thanks Massimo. | | | |

What a guy, what a player.
All those guys who played a major role in the back2back are legends in my eyes. Be sad to see him go. |  |

I thought he looked decent when we had him on loan in 2012, but at 20 years of age he wasn't the type of experienced scrapper that Mick thought we needed to keep us up.
He's had a decent Championship level career & fitted really well into McKenna's team. |  |

Definitely a tear in my eye, but i expected he's move on - and it's the right decision.
Expect to see him come on towards the end of the game on Sunday. | | | |

I wasn’t a fan of him coming here. Old player seeking pension money and players returning rarely works. But I was so wrong about him, just as I was Wark all those years ago. Luongo has been brilliant.
A 100%er. A clever player who you don’t notice but is key to a midfield. A younger version would have made a lot of difference this season. For me he (a few years ago version) was a far more effective, hurtful player than say Cajuste is now who is fragile, looks good and silky skilful, but when it came down to it this season delivered a great consolation goal but not much in assists (stand to be corrected) or digging in when the going got tough.
Phillips obviously has played to a higher level than Luongo, but not these days. KP is a mile off in every way and the sad part was I hoped he’d be a better version of ML.
Replacing the latter and two loanees is an absolute priority if we are to have a good season. We need better than Taylor too. Keep Morsy (team heartbeat), bring in Humphreys and the midfield start looking a bit more effective.
But back to Luongo, we owe him a big thanks. He’s a far better player ‘live’ than he looks on tv and it’s been a pleasure to watch him play [Post edited 23 May 19:14]

Humphreys has been playing in a more advanced role for Wycombe. That doesn't mean he can;t be part of a midfield 2, but is he strong enough?
We may get another season out of Morsy in the Championship, but a strong partner for him is vital. Taylor hasn't done enough & I'm not sure what is his best position (maybe the subs bench).
We are well stocked in the attacking midfield area, but need another central striker. Hamadi could be our 3rd striker. | |

Whoever picks him up has an absolute gem on their hands. Unreal signing, absolutely top notch, perhaps we should just sign all our central midfielders from Middlesbrough! Agree, make him captain on Sunday, modern day Town legend. |  | | |

He completely transformed that League 1 team.
What a guy. |  |

Shouldn’t be forgotten that he stayed with us in January last year rather than going to the Asian cup with Australia. Earned that extra year on his deal! |  | | |

Taylor, in hindsight, should surely have been on loan this season playing week in week out, he was only bit part the season before. Interesting that McKenna includes Morsy with Mass (have done well but we need to strengthen in that area) - feels like there’ll be two new starting midfielders.
I imagine Cam Humphreys will be given a chance to battle for a place and his versatility will hopefully make him an invaluable player next season. |  |

The ideal fit for Morsy, his arrival was timed to perfection. Great guy who'll be missed by many. Good luck Mass..... |  | | |

Ipswich legend. I actually voted him player of the season in the League 1 campaign despite him joining in Jan because of how much better he made us
I imagine there will be a few we see for the last time on Sunday and I hope they all start. | | | |

What Middlesboro were doing with him goodness only knows.
He’s was a joy to watch, and the transfer worked out so well for both us and him.
He was so influential on the pitch for a season and a half, and I’m glad he got to be a Premier League player.
Good luck Mass |  | | |

Some striking comments from KMac about Massimo's footballing intelligence - quite the compliment! Maybe a successful career in coaching awaits... |  | | |
