Extended Trials for Ramón Núñez and Georgie Welcome...

24 year-old midfielder Ramón Núñez has won himself another week with Leeds United after an impressive display against Bradford Park Avenue where he scored the first goal in their 3-1 win. Here is what Leeds manager Grayson had to say about it,

"He did okay. We'll keep him here for another week as sometimes you only get two or three days to have a look.

We got him a game last week and might try and get him a game for the reserves next Wednesday.

He's a busy player who plays off the strikers. He's got a lot of qualities. But we have to see if he can make us a better team."


Looks like this week we will find out what his future will hold... but he's not the only one we will be keeping tabs on. Georgie Welcome also earned himself another week with the Glasgow Rangers of Scotland.

The 25 year-old, Honduran striker has been training with the squad for the past week but was unable to play any public matches without a work permit. It seems like Rangers manager Walter Smith is going to watch him play this week before making a decision.

"We’ll have a closed-doors game next week and that will give him an opportunity to show what he can do."

This week is the decisive week... and if it doesn't work out, oh well! Looks like someone else has been lurking, watching and waiting for these two join him at Peñarol of Uruguay. That's right, Manuel Keosseián stated this week in an interview with Diario Deportivo Diez that he would love to see them play for him... He's also after Carlo Costly!

Editor's Opinion: I think Ramón Núñez would make a great addition to Leeds United... but is he rushing things? After a horrific World Cup and almost no offers.. is he trying to snatch the first opportunity available? It seems like it. I've always seen Núñez as a top quality player... not so sure he's making the right choice by choosing a Championship side but I guess we'll know soon enough! For all you Leeds fans out there, Núñez can be compared to Luka Modrić in some ways. He's usually is played on the left but is way WAY better playing as an attacking, center midfielder. He has a great touch, enormous passing abilities and a nice shot to come with all of it too!

And Georgie Welcome? I love the kid. Pure energy and enthusiasm! I think Rangers will be the perfect home for him and the fans will come to love him. Great choice by Motagua to send him there and I'm really anxious to see how it all plays out. He's got speed, strength, aerial play and his traditional, gymnastic celebrations won't hurt either! Let's hope he scores this week - a goal, and a contract.

Keep checking back for more posts! Thanks.
