Why do people think Alves does not want to be here? Because the papers used the fact he didn't get straight back into the team after his suspension and injury to make a story about him wanting to leave for more game time?
He's always going to be one of the first names on the team sheet. He was suspended and then picked up a knock. Murty left him out rhebteam because at that point we had beaten Hearts and Patrick and didn't want to break up Wilson and McRorie considering they were winning.
Unless I'm missing something? Would like to know everybodies view on this!

Definitely first name on the team sheet. Only time will tell if he wants to stick around or if the club want him to hang around after Pedro leaving, after all Pedro pushed the boat out to get him here and I think he might be the highest paid player in the division.

Totally agree bearmode Murty didn't want to drop macrorrie or Wilson cause they had played well. Alves will be no.1 central defender and I would also say he was unfairly blamed for hibs goal. He had to leave the player he was marking because our midfield didn't track back when hibs player cut ball back.

Bruno Alves is an absolute class act.
Some folk need to wisen up, he made one poor mistake against Hibs - but was the rock and core of our defensive unit in the second half.
Do people just think it’s a coincidence that Danny Wilson has all of a sudden started playing well?
Bruno gives all the others around him the platform to perform as a result of his composure and communication.
Idiotic of some folk to suggest we’re better off without him.
