Can't say I know too much about him, can't say I know anything about him if I'm being honest.

All change!
What is to happen to Roberts and Lowton?

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:01 am

Know nowt about him, but I assume Kompany does.

Welcome to Burnley Vitinho.

From the video above, seems to have played left back a lot.

Hello Vitinho good bye Roberts

The youtube viddy was certainly interesting!

Andy Jones reckons he is a player that Kompany was tracking while at Anderlecht

Pearcey · Post by **Pearcey** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:04 am

He’s Brazilian so I’m obviously delighted.

Hi CT, so long as Vincent Kompany knows him, that's all that matters.

Can I suggest a small edit to your article. Vitinho joins from Cercle Brugge, not Club Brugge. Brugge is a wonder little city for a w/end break. Who knew they had to clubs? I didn't.

Reported as Cercle Brugge

Just found it difficult to write at start of week because I really knew nothing about him

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:08 am

I'd never heard of Cercle Brugge never mind Vitinho, and their ground is bigger than ours.

Really looking forward to seeing him play.

Just turned 23 so the right age. We seem to be overloading with certain positions but not with others !

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:19 am

Welcome to the club Vitnho.

Im genuinely intrigued to see how it all comes together over the coming weeks and months. Will we see more squad rotation with some of these players.

We can't dismiss the level of change and that in essence the experience we have lost and are expecting to lose can be quite uncomforting at times but it's a new way we are looking to play and whether the opportunity to do this rebuild will be one we look back on in time with positivity or not.

williamjblazkowicz · Post by **williamjblazkowicz** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:24 am

I'm so confused by this one. While I've not had as much time to keep up with news in recent days, I don't think I've seen his name linked anywhere. Seems like this one was kept pretty quiet?

fatboy47 · Post by **fatboy47** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:25 am

Seen more spectators up Townley than on most of that vid.

And better defending.

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:28 am

For CT's information

: 23 year ole, can play either side as he has both a good left and right peg

Cercle (Monaco) paid 2 M € for him to Cruzeiro

Quick and nimble player, obviously technically gifted as a Brazilian, forward thinking player but sometimes lacks end product (as does Roberts by the way).

Not a bad signing at all I'd say

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:28 am

Cue the Bazilian drums and samba dances. Our first Brazilian player?

I have never known a time when we have recruited do many players and I haven't a scubi about any of them.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:30 am

An interesting signing, looks to have some exciting attributes. I mentioned his name a few weeks back saying we should sign him *

* only joking

Wembley09 · Post by **Wembley09** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:33 am

How much Championship experience do our new signings have? Hoping it pays off.

Totally different to the last time we were relegated, when we still had alot of players that helped us finished 2nd the season before..
added in with the likes of Andre Gray and Joey Barton, no wonder we won the League at the first time of asking.

This time I hope we can make the top 6, but more realistically I expect midtable this season, then top half the following season while VK builds his project.

I guess like what we saw under Eddie Howe before he left. Nice football, could see what he was trying to build.. lots of younger inexperienced/ lower league signings.
So you knew it was longer teem before we would be challenging for promotion, but you could see the project.

Same again under VK, long term not short term. Which VK as said more than once in his interviews.. about the longer term and needing time.

For anybody who can give me a answer is this a first Brazilian player to turn out for the clarets utc

He will be when he plays - don't think we ever had a Brazilian in the long line of trialists that Adrian Heath played in reserve games

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:44 am

The only downside of this signing is I can see the CFS trying to fit his name into the “He’s Brazilian” song that Leeds & Everton sang for Raphinia and Richarlison

Matt_Whalley · Post by **Matt_Whalley** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:45 am

From the official interview...

Vitinho on his playing style:

“I’m very fast with Brazilian technique. I think I have learned a lot [in terms of] defence [during my time in Belgium] because in Brazil, I can attack all the time.

“Here it’s not like that. I am prepared now, and I am ready. I’m just glad to be here.”

He was waiting to see if he could pick any gems from the game against Gremio that was arranged before he left

But we have the element of surprise on our side....at least for a while.
Exciting times indeed

Probably didn't cost 1 million
We don't know if he's any good or not
Vitinhooooo

Ric_C · Post by **Ric_C** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 12:33 pm

So in Maatsen and Vitinho we now have 2 players who can play both full back and wide midfield. Also Vitinho can play either flank. Gives us more options if for example JBG is injured and a few others. Also could help in periods where we have a lot of games in a short period of time

To the Ginger Mourinho tune, perhaps as a call and response song:
"We've got Vitinho, who is Vitinho?
That is Vitinho, Super Vitinho!"

Any idea why he couldn't get in the Cercle side consistently in his preferred position? I've watched Cercle and have no idea about him? Hotic very much the standout, along with the GK Didillon who has left. I know they've just replaced Matondo with a promising Japenese youngster Ueda.
