Ipswich loan Cajuste on loan from Napoli. Another centre mid. That's 5 good mids now for a wider campaign and the future. Why do I have the suspicion that Luongo will get a deadline day loan to The Championship? 

Luongo started the first premier league game. I think he's safe. I'd say they're looking for a few midfielders to support their high intensity high pressing style. Need to be able to rotate.

Triantis played as a DM in a 1-1 all draw for the Sunderland academy team 

Subbed off after 32 minutes - injured, I assume but I can't find any information to confirm that.

Circatti played left CB for Parma last game and looked really good.
Also Irakunda has been played as a forward over pre-season and I'm wondering if we could use him as one of the front 2 as we are pretty loaded in the attacking mid and short up front.
Some good pace with Irakunda and Yengi

If we play a front 2 - Yengi and Irankunda. If we play a front 3 - Yengi, Irankunda and Goodwin.

Irankunda bench in friendly against Grasshoppers. No Mabil after his 8 scorer point haul. Mostly first team for Bayern to get the fitness up before the weekend.

Had his back to goal playing central striker. No issues but nothing spectacular either

If they are converting him to a central striker it could be a while before he improves his hold up play and heading

I understand why they want him as a striker because on the counter attack he would be elite. But yeah his hold up play and other aspects of playing as a striker will need time to improve. He could play a similar role as Mbappe does for France for Australia in the future. I do prefer Irankunda on the wing for Bayern at this point because he'll be more affective but their wings are stacked.

Peupion playing and scoring for Brighton u-21 against Crawley Town in the EFL Trophy. He hasn’t really kicked on as hoped, mostly due to injury. Hope he gets a loan away, as he is turning 22 this year and would greatly benefit from senior football somewhere.

Also in the EFL Trophy, we have an 18 year old keeper (Ashton Ronaldo) who played a full game in Chesterfields win against Man City u-21. I’ve not heard of this kid before. 1 - 1 at full time and 4 - 2 on penalties.

Couple other blokes featuring in the EFL Trophy too.

Yeah it’s a pretty cool concept in general, I hope we have a similar “lower leagues”/youth team competition in Australia at some point. Probably would be difficult financially and logistically.

All the best to him, Ross County are going to have a bit of an uphill battle this season. The Ross County supporters seem pretty stoked to get him judging by the forums.
