BURNLEY, England - In the cosmopolitan Premier League, with around two thirds of regular starting players drawn from across the globe, Burnley are unusual for their reliance on English players and manager Sean Dyche says that is unlikely to change next season.
“You don’t have to look very far this season for clubs that have spent heavily in Europe and they’ve gone down,” Dyche told Reuters in an interview at Burnley’s training centre. “Our club don’t want to take a gamble, so they don’t want to sign a 15 million pound French player who’s never played in the Premier League, who’s 21, and then that ends up being a four million pound French player going back the other way,” he said.Burnley’s squad does feature some European talent but their most expensive signing, Belgium international Steven Defour, struggled initially to adapt to the physical demands of the Premier League before shining last season.
While that image ignores some of the good football Burnley have played at times under Dyche, the 47-year-old former lower league defender, makes no apologies for his approach.
