Sheffield Utd to deal in ex-Everton defender Weir

Sheffield United boss Danny Wilson admits he could offer terms to defender David Weir.

The 41 year-old former Everton and Rangers centre-half has been training with the Blades after being released from his Gers deal last month.

"There is no rush to do anything. He is out of contract and can sign any time," Wilson told the club's official website.

"His travelling is easy and he is very relaxed. He wants to keep playing so he continues to have ambition.

"David has been training with us for the last two weeks, through no commitment, but if anything does happen to anyone in our squad then we need to have our finger on the pulse.

"You look at David and you would think he was 30! He is a terrific athlete and a great model to the younger lads."
