Ric Flair Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 I knew it was only a matter of time before we were linked with him, but according to another site he's been training with us. Does this have the legs to stay open without a link? I'm not sure, but I think this has substance. We need a left sided defender and Unsworth has played under Mandaric before. He's 34 now, but I still rate him. We need someone to push Mattock for the left back spot, Unsworth provides good cover for a year or so. Thoughts?

The People's Hero Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 I'd take him on for a year - subject to his legs still being able to cope with it. Good quality player in this division - seen it all before. One year only though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby or not Toby Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 What site was it? Would be okay for a season imo! Is he without a club atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 2 August 2007 Author Share Posted 2 August 2007 I'd take him on for a year - subject to his legs still being able to cope with it.Good quality player in this division - seen it all before. One year only though. Agreed. As far as i'm concerned, Mattock is the business and I expect him to nail the left sided spot down for himself anyway. But some experienced cover is a sensible decision should Joe have a rough patch or have to go and play for England Under 12's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggers Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 There was a time when I'd have been delighted at a rumour like this - but that time has gone. I'd have done Jo Guest when she was innocent and in the Blur video...but not now she's been and done photo and video sets of her sucking and bumping chubbies. Not to say that Unsworth has been doing hard-core porno too, but if he was a gash he'd be open like a 24 hour petrol station. My limit would be a pay as you play deal.

crisp monster Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 hello all 1st post so be gentle i'd have him short term a no nonsence tough tackling Championship player. and if our forwards are good at diving, he'll slam home the pens with no probs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bob Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 Had a look on Wikipedia - he was released by Wigan at the end of the season. Also released by Sheff utd before that!! He was quality but I am also concerned he is now fat and slow and only in it for the last pay cheques. Shame he has missed pre-season training to shift some of that blubber!!!

Stevosevic Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 He was carrying a bit of weight at the back end of last season, but could be good cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernuk Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 If he proves his fitness defintely worth signing but only on a 1yr deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but MDV has already shifted his weight - has Unsworth still got this to do? If so it could take him 2/3 months to get in shape. If we are after a top six finish we need him in shape now.

Daggers Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 Definitely up for this. Fat, lumbering and knocking on a bit - is he your Daggers substitute or something. Just get over it Fez - you can't have me and you're better off just moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 2 August 2007 Share Posted 2 August 2007 Totally undecided on this one, part of me says yes for a year to provide cover for LB, but last time I saw him he looked fat, slow lump! Could be more of a liabilty than anything! Not bothered if we sign him, not bothered if we don't! I'm just still laughing about Stoke signing Cresswell, hehe!
