So Bruno Alves according to the DR is "flattered" about being associated with us. Respecting what he has done in his career, but at 35 does he have the motivation to take a mediocre team forward? How are his present team doing in terms of limiting goals?

Surely he is one of about five or six that will come in to help Pedro get us back where we belong!
If they are all of a same standard as Alves I will be very happy!
He is a player that will give 100%, the guy is a professional.

If, and it's a big If, more players of international calibre are "signed" I still don't see how he has the enthusiasm to come here and at an outside chance get to the CL
If he could show the hunger I would see 1 or at a push 2 more seasons, with maybe a coaching role golden handshake

I think alves would be interested as it fits his career he has always played for huge clubs challenging for titles and trophys and playing in Europe so if he has the chance to Finnish his Career doing that I think Rangers would be very appealing to him hence why I think he will come.

Why would Alves come to Rangers? He would take a massive massive pay cut to join a team who ate struggling 36 points behind the Champions of Scotland. It is not going to happen

Maby to play in europe? He also says he wanted to sample the atmosphere in british football, maby just wanting a new challenge under his fellow countryman.

Alves will come to the bears as he not needing the cash and for euro football
15 May 2017 09:06:22
Its not about needing the cash. Alves and the likes have no need to come to a struggling team. Rangers would need to start to become competative to attract players like this and they don't have the funds to do that. Its going to take years and Rangers need to start building a young team who maybe will mature over 2 or 3 years. Picking up 35 year old players is just short term and in another 2 years Rangers will still be in the same position. Time to build something which should have started 3 or 4 years ago.

He will come as he wants to sample the fanatical British support, play in European competition, under a Portuguese manager he apparently rates and to challenge for trophies. He's at Calgari not Juve so I'd imagine we could afford similar wages to what he's on.

johnny mac how do u suggest we get competative if no good players woukd come to us next year because we sucked this year answer me that.
your method of thinking confuses me most players will go to a club and believe tey can make a difference and when a player sees a team the size of rangers coming back the previous years points don't really come into consideration for them.
i can't ever see a player saying i'm not going to rangers because the first time of asking they finished 36 points behind celtic!
seriously think about what u are saying.
they guys is past his prime he knows it but well better than anyone else in this league in that position
