Welcome to Burnley, Ameen. Good luck in all you do.

[HitchinClaret]

Is he a big lad? could do with a bit of height at the back

[IanMcL]

His interview reveals a very well rounded, perfe t English speaking young man.

Welcome.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Another cracking video.

He ain't small. Quick and skilful also.

[fatboy47]

Good move.

If he does well it may prevent our being bent over for crazy transfer fees for Beyer or THB.

[Rumbletonk]

Well done to our marketing department, again. Leading the way

[Paul Waine]

Welcome to Burnley FC, Ameen Al-Dakhil.

Really...I don't know what they have been drinking but I wouldn't mind a few bottles

[Elizabeth]

Young in footballing terms , one for the future or should we expect him to be challenging for a first team place now?

Started off as a striker.

[sox8595]

A well spoken chap who seems really up for the challenge.

[bobinho]

Will he be added to the championship signings sticky at some point?

[ecc]

Just how well do these lads speak English?

I'd never heard of Ahmeed before but if he's good enough for Vincent he's good enough for me.

Going off his Clarets+ interview, Al-Dakhil speaks better English than a lot of locals I know

[It Is What It Is]

Welcome to Turf Moor Ahmed.
We hope you turn into a Claret legend.

Amed ?

[It Is What It Is]

Sorry... should read Ameen. big fingers...little screen!

[houseboy]

When I read the news I hadn’t heard of his club but they lie currently ninth in the Belgian first division, shortened to STVV. If VKs other signing are a yardstick he should be good, maybe replacing HB for the time being. Here’s hoping.

[HiThere]

Started off as a striker.

So he's come in to replace Kevin Long then.

[wilks_bfc]

So he's come in to replace Kevin Long then.

Well he’s taken his old squad number so……

[AGENT_CLARET]

For the price we've paid for him he must be a talent, he's the joint highest transfer under Kompany

[tiger76]

With the injury to THB we did need to strengthen in central defence, and this lad ticks our profile 20 and with potential to improve under Kompany's coaching, he's also over 6 foot which might please some on here bemoaning our lack of height.

I sense it may not be the last time we raid the Belgian leagues, that does appear to be our new shopping place now.

[the_magic_rat]

What a cracking lad he seems from that first interview. Welcome to Burnley, Ameen!

[NRC]

Looking forward to his 25-40m transfer fee
