Really struggling to understand why alves isn't pleasing anyone, the man is a winner international and at club level a central defender playing in italy where the worls best centre halfs play there game but the same people who want to keep clint hill are saying that he is too old.

Yes 7 league titles and 5 other cups in 3 different leagues zenit payed 22million for him. He played every game at the 2010 and 2014 world cups and every game at Euro 2012 along Side Real Madrids Pepe and played in the euro 2016 semi final and is due to be part of Portugals squad for this summers confederations cup. He has just played 36games for Calgari in the Italian top flight. If anybody says he is not good enough knows nothing about football because to say he would be a bad signing it's just utterly ridiculous!

Our defence is crying out for a player with the stature of Alves, I really do hope this signing does happen

spot on deano bear - one thing you can't level at alves is his experience and credentials which are second to none.

At his age, to have played 30+ games for Cagliari in Serie A shows his fitness levels

Ok i can see some bears not wanting to sign a 35yr old because he is too old with no re-sale value but a 2yr deal wld bring in a wealth of experience and help us re-build

Any issues over player being past it just need to look at our 2 best performers this season hill and miller both over 35 and obv not forgetting Sir Davy

El minto

After his shambles with Warburton and his eagerness to try to negotiate an escape route from Rangers with Warburton I think you should drop the sir
