Trialists Set to Stay - Ipswich Town News
Trialists Rui Marques and Edwin Ouon look likely to be spending more time with the Blues after impressing in last night's friendly with Rangers. Assistant manager Willie Donachie says a decision will be made later today on whether the pair will remain at Portman Road for an extended period.
Donachie said: "It is down to Joe, the board and agents but I would like to keep them. I have seen quite a few trialists do a lot worse.
"They both looked decent players with good experience but it is hard to judge after one training session and one game."
One player Town won't be signing is Rangers right-back Maurice Ross. The right-back is available but Donachie says his likely fee of around £200,000 puts Town out of the running: "Maurice is a player we have looked at but finances dictate here at Ipswich that it would not be possible."
The trialists could join the Blues on the two-game tour of Hungary over the weekend.
