ElBufalo20 7,890 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Good signing if true. And age is genuinely irrelevant these days. 35 is nothing if you are fit. He plays in the best league in the world for defending. the way players are monitored these days I've no worry at all. Especially foreign players as they have a better attitude to health and fitness so he can easily do a job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays in the supposed best league for defending yet plays in a Cagliari team who have conceded 69 in 36 games. The 3rd worst record in Serie A this season. Could be their style or poor cover from midfield but I wouldn't be basing my judgement on him on the fact he's playing with Italians who have historically been good defenders.

Cagliari seem a fairly open team! Hopefully is the managers strategy and not just terrible defending! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Vandenbroucke 26,147 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It's amazing to think that for the first time in 5 years we'll have at least one player who isn't afraid to knock the absolute fuck out of Brown. A great first signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL153 No Surrender!!! 1,810 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hopefully true but we shall see, even at thirty five a think he will have the skill, knowledge and fitness levels to bring a couple of younger players on and mature them as well, start solid at the back and progress through the spine of the team, get this full team sorted and up and running for next season,and a agree with a few on here, a would love him to boot browns cunt in and start showing these taigs a bit of aggro!!

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I really, really, really, hope this is true, not because Alves is a great player, more to do with a neighbour of mine, who laughed mockingly, when I suggested he might be coming to Ibrox.

TheCutch 4,340 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Would be a tremendous first signing. A true leader on the park, and one who can play the game as well. If that is the start of the type of spine Pedro is looking to put in place then I will be a happy Bear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,913 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Fernando Couto had "nearly" signed as well, as did Jardel and Raul Tamuda ,all 99.9% please excuse my pessimistic nature here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be so far above anybody else in the squad in terms of quality, experience and pedigree that I think you almost have to. Would be a good captain but there's more to being rangers captain than on the park so I'd be surprised if he walks straight into it - but captain or not he would provide on field leadership anyway.

Valance1690 3,826 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Happy we seem to be doing business early & he's certainly an improvement on Bates etc Watched him a while ago (euros) and he seemed decent, really don't understand the massive hype behind him though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,580 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Not really watched him at all, so can't comment on what he's like,I remember somebody on here saying he played against the scum a couple of years ago and was poor is that true?
