Alves is for the future

We have 3 CBs plus him. I suspect this first season is about getting him acclimatised.

Chrisense and Mahovo both had bad injuries, so I saw the need for additional cover.

Field I guess was cheap and a known quantity - Kenny and Mattson always were going to be first choice when fit and then from looks of it, Wright so I can kind of understand the Field signing. He did pk when having to step in last season, from memory
