'Young' Turk or turkey ?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Posted this on another thread yesterday, and it generated absolutely nothing, so in the hope that being ignored wasn't personal, here goes again.

What about this Hakan Unsal we're supposed to be in for, if we can beat off Villa ?

Kicking his heels at Galatasaray according to teletext, and due to talk to us and Villa in the 'next few days'.

Worth a dabble ?

He's supposed to be 27 and is described variously as a right winger, a left full back, a defensive midfielder and has been linked to Roma and Lazio last November and with Lens in January. BBC reckon that he has never been able to impose himself sufficiently to tie down a specific plave in the Turkish side.

Bit of a utility player and old for us, but looks like he might usher in another option in 3-5-2....

Sorry PB, dunno nowt about him. But unless he's top drawer or cheap as chips I'd stand aside on this one.
