bordersbear 1,105 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I would have preferred keeping big Clint on for another season. I don't think Bruno has been any better and it seems he maybe wants out in January if he can't be guaranteed a start. I bet Alves is on far bigger wages than hill would have wanted as well.

bluenose244 2,618 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 No thanks. Clint Hill left a cult hero with his cult hero status intact. I'll be forever grateful for that goal at the piggery, absolute scenes!Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltire266 502 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hill was a great player for us but who is to say that this season wouldn'tĀ have been 1 too much for him the same as Miller. I think he might have been a better option than Cardoso .Alves is a quality signing but I think he hasn't had the impact most people thought he would. The standard of football and the hammer throwers in our game seem to suck the quality out of everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Still donāt understand how Clint Hill played so well for us yet a Portugal centre back looks pretty poor for us, youād think he would be ten times fitter given heās always played at a higher level and heās younger. Hill wouldāve been just as bad as Miller this season though, one season too many. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,418 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Think alves would duff him in if it was a no weapons allowed fight think big Clint hasn't got that nasty side Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hill was consistently decent, Alves is inconsistently very good. Tough choice tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough choice tbh Was he consistently decent though? Our defence was a total shambles and Hill had Ā a few good games towards the end of the season if I remember correctly.. is it not just a case of players getting better as time passes?

james_85 656 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Big Clint had a bit of a slow start when he first came and he admits himself that it took him a bit of time to adjust to the pressure of being at Rangers. Alves has been in and out of the team and just when we look as if we might get a good run of games with him and Wilson together we are going to hit the winter break. I believe we will see Alves have the same sort of second half of the season that we see withĀ Hill Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR 1,480 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I think itās fair to point out that Hill would always adapt quicker to our game faster than Alves could be expected to, and even Hill struggled at first.Ā Alves is a better CH and if settles into some consistency here then whoever plays beside him will benefit greatly. Wilson is already stepping up to the plate. ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time in years I think we have a centre back pairing capable of keeping a clean sheet against the filth. Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooooootchy 405 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hill done alright but we were shocking defensively last year . This year we're not much better . Personally think alves has done ok so far . Maybe not the top class defender we hoped for . We get a a settled back four with extra protection from midfield in mcrorrie n Jack( admittedly hill didn't have that)Ā I think he'll shine . So in summary, fuck knows who'd of been betterĀ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 2,428 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I really liked big Clint. Solid defender, and I think he left here as one of us. For me, Alves has a lot to prove. Its all about desire, wether he can arsedĀ or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
