QUIZ: Foreign players at Burnley with Dyche

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon May 04, 2020 10:07 am

Since Sean Dyche became Burnley manager a total of 79 players have played league football for us. Of those 79, 16 have been neither British nor Irish but can you name them?

Note: The list doesn't include such as Tendayi Darikwa or Scott Arfield who, despite being full internationals for Zimbabwe and Canada, are English and Scottish respectively.

I'll list them as you get them

1 David Edgar
2 Dane Richards
3 Alexander Kačaniklić
4 Brian Jensen
5 Alex Cisak
6 Fredrik Ulvestad
7 Jelle Vossen
8 Rouwen Hennings
9 Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson
10 Aiden O'Neill
11 Steven Defour
12 Chris Wood
13 Nahki Wells
14 Georges-Kevin NKoudou
15 Matěj Vydra
16 Erik Pieters

Bit unlucky with that one - played in the Aberdeen games but not in the league

Ashley Barnes?

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon May 04, 2020 10:21 am

Just four to get - two of them only made sub appearances but the other two have made 30 league appearances for Dyche between them

I did say the likes of Darikwa (Zimbabwe) and Arfield (Canada) couldn't be included but Barnes is English and from Somerset. He had a grandma born in Austria but has now been told it doesn't qualify him to play for them in any case. Barnes is very definitely not Austrian.

How many of those did SD sign ?

Jensen - Stan Ternent
Edgar - Owen Coyle
Richards - Eddie Howe

all the others have been Dyche signings other than Aiden O'Neill who came through the academy.

So of the 12 foreign players signed by SD how many were already playing in the UK ?

Thats what I thought. So 4 signings from abroad in nearly 8 years. Thats an amazing stat for any club these days let alone one that has spent 5 of the 8 seasons in the Premier League. Whatever the rationale , it's working. From where we were to where we are is quite incredible.

I heard an interview with Dyche a couple of weeks ago and he was asked about it. He referred to Chris Wood. He said he knew someone who had played with him at West Brom when he was 16 and knew a couple more who had coached him so had gathered a lot of info about him and said he felt he knew him before he walked through the door. He then said that's how the club want it because they don't want to take risks.
