From our favorite author himself.  Listen to what George said about Dany's Unsullied soldiers.  This should put away all doubts as to how well they will do in Westeros.  The Unsullied will be superb in battle.  They will be better with the addition of the Dothraki.  Dany will have the advantage in battle in Westeros.  

The arguments that The Unsullied are ineffective soldiers do not hold water.  

 

 

 Amazed at the dedication of those who maintain their ground and look for relevant clues.   The Unsullied are awesome.  They are my favorite fighting unit.

That answered the question and won the debate for your side.  You can lead most horses to water and they will drink.  There are some who would rather die of thirst.

The author intended for the Unsullied to be a superior fighting force to what Westeros can call together.  That is what matters.  Things like testosterone doesn't matter.  Most of what Westeros can call together are not going to be in prime physical condition.  Where as the Unsullied are all in fine physical fitness and are mentally ready for battle.  The Dothraki riders are also fit and ready for battle.

Well done.  That settles the debate for me.  Daenerys will bring a very formidable force to Westeros consisting of Unsullied and Dothraki.  

Dany will have a huge army when she gets to westeros:

unsullied

at least one dothraki khalasar of 5,000-10,000, maybe more

several thousand freedmen from slaver's bay

most or all of victarion's ironborn

two or three of the sellsword companies now at mereen

tens of thousands of freedmen from volantis and other city between mereeen and volantis

several tens of thousands from lys, pentos, myr and/or tyrosh some or all of which she will conquer before sailing to westeros

thousands of random others who flock to her banners from all over essos

some kind of force, probably mostly naval, from Braavos, which will throw its weight and funding behind her when they see what has happened to Volantis and the other cities of essos

I am probably forgetting some.

i predict something in the neighborhood of 200,000 total, by far the greatest army ever assembled in the known history of planetos. and don't forget the dragons.

she will be unstoppable, and but for the others would conquer westeros quickly. but, before she completes her conquest, she realizes that the invasion of the others is more important.

That's if she gets the Dothraki. She could just as easily keel over from her troublesome bowel movements and die.
