Alves has penned a four-and-a-half year contract at The Riverside

Its great that you have divided both halfs and have favourites.

It's not like it is a high honour and not at all consistent over time. I just like some teams and not others. The top of the table favourite is always the team furthest below us in the league.

From what I've seen this fella knows where the back of the net is but will be useless if expected to play in a team with any pace, especially on the counter attack. I reckon he'll do ok for Boro, that's probably a reasonable level for him, had he signed for a "bigger" club it would probably have been a disaster.
