He's worth more than the reputed sub £2k a week he was offered, a look at our results with and without him in the side makes that crystal clear.

Yes but the board are thinking next season now and may have better players lined up. I am not saying you are wrong but it could be the board have 3 Bruno Alves's lined up.:fish2::D

How many times do you shell out in the region of 20K p/wk for experience/better players only to be burnt by it .......instead of paying a promising youngster say 5K.

 

Alves, Kranjcar, Barton, Pena, Rossiter, etc.

Good luck to him, but I think this is good for him and good for us.  He isn't good enough to be in our first eleven.  Unfortunately he was the best of a bad bunch this season but we wouldn't normally tolerate someone of that quality in our central defence and I fully expect we will recruit well into that position in this summer.

 

If the rumours are true that he was looking for a longer contract, I don't blame him, but I'm so glad we didn't do it.  He's got a lot to prove before we could afford to give him a contract longer than a couple of years.

Better players than him have left , good luck young man , but the Rangers move onwards 

 

Of course, however he was our best CB, young & Scottish, we are trying to build a team.

And what we have gotten from him vs what we have gotten from the, reputedly 40k a week Alves, is markedly different....
