senorsoupe Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I don't see why signing yet another expensive over the hill player like Alves makes sense. Were the likes of Barton, Senderos, and Krancjaer not enough of a warning? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Seen a lot of Alves this season and he's been alright, no more. Was a bit of a coup when Cagliari got him last year, but they don't seem too fussed about letting him go, which maybe tells it's own story - As RG said, he was part of an awful defence this season. But, despite his advancing years he seems pretty fit, he only missed two Serie A games all season (playing every minute of the rest), one due to suspension and the other on the final day when he was left out. He's on a pretty hefty wage though, about 800,000 euro a year after tax. Along with a fee to pay, it's a lot of money for a guy at his age. Did score this cracker (About 3:05 in) against Bologna though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWolfe Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Dorrans could be a really good signing if you get him fit and keep him fit. He's only played about 30 odd games in the past 3 seasons though so could be a risky one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Happy with Alves - he'll put a bit of stick about. Not convinced by Dorrans. If we can get Dorrans on his game, he is one of the most technically gifted players I have seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow me to be sceptical. Perm any three from Barton, Niko, Rossiter, Crooks, Holt, Halliday, Toral, Windass and Forrester and we had a midfield that would be knocked over by a stocking-full of diarrhoea. That's 9 midfielders who were rank and all of whom were on big wages. A total embarrassment. We don't need an 'on his game' midfielder but a grumpy wee bloke (ideally ginger) who can put in the hard yards. It certainly isn't Dorrans. It probably isn't Union Jack either. Maybe Kenny McLean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alves being described as an "organiser", Jack as a "Hard man" and now McLean as a "grumpy hard working midfielder". Literally every definition is the exact opposite of what they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Look at Alves' tan. He's middle aged. He's had a good career. He wants the slow Mediterranean life. No way will he be up for a half time cuppa tea and 2 jammy dodgers after taking a few flying elbows on a freezing October night in Perth. Decent potential for head's gone I'd say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastecoatwilly Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 It's great to play legend's in one game at the end of the season not so good to expect them to play 38 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
