great news to wake up to but what an awful video, looks like they've run out of ideas !

Did they ever have any ideas in the first place? I appreciate that they're aimed at the 'Tik Tok' generation, but even so I've had the misfortune of seeing 3 or 4 of these 'announcement' videos and not only in terms of what could (very loosely) constitute 'content' but also (even more loosely) 'production', they have all been pieces of utter crap.

disagree 100% tbh, most of them have been excellent for those they are aimed at. This one massively misses imho

[Bosscat]

Exciting news!
Welcome Zeki.
"ohhh Zeki Amdouni! ohhh Zeki Amdouni!"

Thats going to catch on

[boyyanno]

Seen some good chants going around already. What about:

Don't blame it on the Sean Dyche
Don't blame it on the Scott Twine
Don't blame it on the good times
We got Amdouni

It is not aimed at your generation

Its aimed at the every other one

excellent it's a 5 year deal too

They’re about improving the clubs social media footprint, which in turn improves the clubs perceived image, will attract new fans and then new sponsors/investors etc

They’re not aimed at you or other long term fans.

[LowtonClaret]

Please with the signing but embarrassing by the club!l

Thanks for the clarifications that they're not aimed at me.

If you think that a 30 second piece of crap like that video with a 'back story' which has absolutely zero relevance to the player (nor ever any player of the ones that I've encountered) and looks like it's been produced in 3 minutes by a 5 year old on a mobile phone is going to improve the club's social media footprint, improve the club's image and attract investors then you must be very easily suited.

These videos have less artistic quality than the usual kind of graffiti you see in your average pub toilet.

And as for 'old man yells at clouds' post - great piece of original thinking, really tickled me did that. You want to get your name down to contribute to the next 'reveal' video.

There’s a world outside UTC and ‘even this’ reveal video got some traction. There’s a feeling that the club actually know what they’re doing with these things.

Maybe unclench a bit and stop being so pompous.

[ab1882]

For what it's worth, the Eh-oh Tweet has had 6.2 million Twitter
video views and I'd say is on course to top last weeks Welcome back Wout Tweet that has 7.2 million Twitter video views.

You're wrong.

[Bosscat]

Its a bit of fun reveal video ... some need to lighten up ... better than just a boring 30 second show of the shirt and a thumbs up ... The gazillion views on youtube prove that putting BFC out to the world ...

I like them (OK maybe some more than others)

[fidelcastro]

great news to wake up to but what an awful video, looks like they've run out of ideas !

Hopefully they have and hopefully they don't bother next time.

6.5 million views so far just on twitter
People are seeing it, liking it, sharing it, quote tweets etc, it's gaining traction.

That you hate it just doesn't matter quite simply, you're not the target market and for good reason.

Last summer, we dominated the social media in video reveals, fans were actually berating Barca for the poor quality of theirs and saying they should be doing quality like ours.

Since then, other clubs have been playing catch up and now do similar quality work for player reveals.

That's the world we live in.

That work attracts positive attention, which in turn makes brands want to be affiliated with us when we're in the market looking for corporate deals.
You can turn your nose up at it, but those are the facts.

[RHansburyEsq]

It IS old man yells at cloud. My teenage kids thought it was funny and shared it amongst their peers. The ‘production’ value is meaningless. Have you seen the state of some of the YouTube content which get millions of views?

[mkmel]

Any videos of him playing?

[Rowls]

Any videos of him playing?

Tonnes on YouTube

Just search his name.

[Lancasterclaret]

Its getting traction on social media - that is exactly what its designed to do

And of course some won't like it, and some will, and some will go "WTF?" but as long as they are talking about on social media, then that exactly what the club are looking for

I get that people don't understand this, but its something the club have become very, very good at

It used to be that signings had to have sleeve tattoos.

Now it seems that they have pushed down socks/small shinpads à la Jack Grealish

[Pearcey]

Know nothing about him but his record looks great and he’s only 22. Exciting signing.

[ClaretTony]

Another one I’d never heard of until someone tipped me off about our interest in him

[Rowls]

Hadn't heard of him either but got chatting to a guy with a deep "football manager" kind of football knowledge and he thinks we e got a good player.

He looks great on the clips and his scoring record is impressive, especially the second half of last season.

Reminds me a bit of Morgan Gibbs White at Forest.

Sorry but you’re just incredibly out of touch with that comment.

[AlargeClaret]

Looks an exciting young talent , let’s hope he can slot in as we’re gonna need this kind of player . The vid is actually quite funny,and presume it’s meant to look cr@p, I hope the Teletubby clip isn’t copyrighted though ouch !

I kinda la la like it tbh

[Juan Tanamera]

It is not aimed at your generation

Its aimed at the every other one

Hey, I'm at that generation (vintage Claret so to speak) and I think the reveal videos are grrrrrreat, as Tony the Tiger used to say when I was in the 'every other one'

[ClaretCliff]

Agree most have been excellent (and I’m far to old to be in the target audience), but I also like this one. I think it falls into the “so bad it’s good” category which makes it so funny. It certainly made me laugh.

You're a pompous old smellysocks.

Loads on here are, and you are all different but these videos are not aimed at you (or me for that matter!)

Its not an insult btw, just an observation

I know from personal experience just how good a social media campaign can be, and I can only applaud this

[boatshed bill]

I'm of an age where I really don't give a flying **** for these videos.
But 7.6m views and 45,000+ likes can't be bad

[arise_sir_charge]

Funny that despite everything we saw last summer in respect of the reveal videos and the video weave it got a few folk still just don’t get it.

This isn’t the best of them but it’s achieved what it set out to.

[HalifaxClaret]

I'm an old man these days and I find the video naff however it is completely short sighted not to realise how good the exposure is for BFC. They know exactly what they are doing and the fact that it has been picked up by sites such as 'The Poke' are testament to this.

The club has managed to throw off its old image in the space of 14months and been dragged kicking and screaming into the present day. A few years ago the only people that were ever going to take an interest in Burnley Football Club were local people who were taken to the match by their relatives. Now we have massive exposure around the world. Extremely important if we are to compete at the highest level.

It wasn't taken as an insult.
I'm just surprised that anyone, no matter which generation they're from, can be all arsey about something as harmless as these videos

Honestly, I’m not a massive fan. However people on Reddit etc seem to love them, so they’re doing their job

Some don't like them

Lots of stuff I don't like but these videos are certainly not one of those things!

I guarantee the Venn diagram of people who don’t like this reveal videos and people who don’t like Muric passing out from the back is a circle.

[k90bfc]

Remember the days,We had Harry Potts,Jimmy Adamson,standing over a table in the Managers Office,with a new signing signing his contract,all them pictures were a joy to behold,New Player etc,so excited to see them in action,Them were the Days! How times have changed!

[claptrappers_union]

I just ignore the twitter stuff. Its not my thing.

[Casper2]

Let’s hope he’s better than the announcement video , that’s just embarrassing.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Feels like we need two threads for new signings now. One to discuss the new Burnley player and one to discuss the video

Thanks Vegas - good listen with a very patient and gracious contributor. Talked about Amdouni's ball carrying/ball progression and being most effective as a deep lying forward. Limitations/areas to work on included physicality and speed (not acceleration). He also stressed the need for patience during adaptation. It was an almost identical assessment to that of Swissguy but Zesiger isn't a Basel fan.
