I'd suggest the fourth or fifth given we've already confirmed the signings of Estève & Trésor, and then there's JBG.

Sambo the first and then are they counting Esteve or resigning JBG?

I think he is our first permanent LB signing since Pieter in 2019, feels like quite the wait!

If he's half as good as Pieters then he will be a good signing

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2024 4:48 pm**

I'm hoping he'll be half as good as Marcelo.

Should never have got rid of Brian Easton

What have we paid for him?

We only made one mistake with Brian Easton and that was signing him in the first place.

I don’t know anything about Pires but I’m expecting him to be considerably better than the aforementioned Easton.

Rubbish! He just needed more time to develop.

There was quite a big second mistake of actually playing him. He's right up there for worst player I've seen play for us along with Dane Richards

Welcome to Burnley, Lucas!

Watching Brian easton taking corners away at Leicester 4-0 down has to be one of the lowest points at any away game I’ve ever been to

Would have been better of with Sheena!

He’s still playing is Easton. He was in the East Fife team last Saturday for their League Cup tie against Morton.

If Pires is on a par with Easton then we are getting our recruitment very badly wrong. I suspect he will be considerably better.

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2024 8:43 pm**

He's Brazillian
He cost us two and half million
He's better than Brian Easton
Pi-i-res

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2024 10:32 pm**

I was quite amazed when we signed our first Brazilian, and now we've only gone and done it for the second time

. What is the world coming to? We are Burnley not Benfica

Time will tell whether all this shopping across the world is going to work. Is Pires the first player we've brought in during this period from outside of Europe?

Posted: **Wed Jul 17, 2024 9:20 am**

Even this signing was playing in Europe last season

I’d have thought so

Other than Penny & Guerrero previously, I don’t recall any other non-European based signings

And they were hugely successful

- we can add Dane Richards to that list too but I can't think of any others.

Didn't we get an American left back who come to us straight from the US?

Not one I can recall, the only American I can remember at Burnley, who was a left-back, was Danny Karbassiyoon but we signed him from Arsenal.

Posted: **Wed Jul 17, 2024 9:28 am**

That's who I was thinking of, Tony. I thought we had picked him up when we did that mini tour of the US a few years ago, but it was only a vague memory at best.

I was introduced to him at a pre-season game at Accy. He said to me: "It's mighty fine to meet you Sir."

Wasn't there an Australian goalkeeper early in the Dyche era? With Heaton around don't think he ever played a game for us.

Nizic?

Don’t think we signed him from an Australian club though. Think he was already in UK

It was Alex Cisak, came on when Tom Heaton was sent off at Brighton. He was an Aussie but Polish born. Signed him from Oldham.

Dan Nizic signed in the same summer. Think he might have come directly from Australia. His signing had been arranged in the previous year.

Cisak was the one I was thinking of

I’ve just looked up Nizic. He was at Portsmouth on trial for a year but couldn’t get a work permit for him but then signed for us when we could get one

That’s it with Nizic. I think we’d agreed the deal with him a year earlier but had to wait for the work permit. So he went off to Portsmouth for a year which then enabled us to get him.

That summer of 2013, Dyche’s first four signings were goalkeepers but two of them, Nizic & Liversedge, had been agreed before Dyche arrived.

I hope he’s brought his big coat for when summer is over.

Mark Robertson was signed from Australia - better?

He was at Rangers on trial if I recall and they didn't offer him anything so he came here and we did. But he hadn't played for any English clubs.
