Needed to be signed by noon, which I think he was, but now subject to international clearance. With that being Germany, I doubt it will take long.

Thought the official video would have been of him being asked what’s it like to be the first North Macedonian to sign permanently for Burnley.

I was initially a bit errr about this one when I read he was a winger. Further reading / research suggests he does a lot of his work inside though rather than hugging the touch line, which I think will suit what we need. I can see him playing the role Bastien has been asked to do on that inside left. Sounds like his work rate is outstanding too. Look forward to seeing him play.

Welcome to Burnley, Darko!

Nice its official and we are no longer in the DARKO

Just need a striker now .

I would like to see two strikers (perhaps I'm being greedy) and an athletic left-sided centre back.

P.S. Welcome to BFC Darko.

Don't think it is in the plans

He is D - DYNAMIC
He is A - ACOMPLISHED
He is R - RESPLENDENT
He Has K - KILLER INSTINCT
He is Oh Oh Oohhhhh

Churlinov the Great.

Dar-ko Chur-lin-ov, tra la la la la

(To Brown girl in the ring)

It never took off with Remco VDS, so now here is its chance...

Don't know anything about him, but he fits the criteria young and ambitious, and he's already played his part in a couple of promotion winning sides, so let's hope he can complete the hat trick at Burnley.

Don't know why, but I think he will prove to be one of Kompany's best signings.

Welcome to Burnley.

Part of me is starting to wonder if the players ask what their announcement video will be before they agree to sign

It was taking off nicely until 3:02pm that sunny day in Sheffield way back when.

We are chock full of wingers now. Looking forward to see how he does.

Song suggestion, to "We don't talk about Bruno"

6 foot frame flying down the wing
When he scores a goal the Turf is gonna sing
Yeah he plays like a dream and rips apart your team

We all sing about Darko oh oh oh
We all sing about Darko

Yes then it was him that should have been taken off

Certainly got some experience for a 22 year old. Hope he can bring some pace and physicality to our team

From the VfB site


Sporting director Sven Mislintat:

“Darko has developed very well in the last couple of years. As well as his footballing ability, he is particularly defined by his great willingness and desire to win. We would’ve liked to have kept him, but at the same time we can understand his wish for more playing time. Darko will always be welcome at VfB. We wish him lots of success and luck at Burnley.”

Darko Churlinov:

“I’ve had a very nice time at VfB, which was important for my development and which I’ll always look back fondly on. I’d like to thank everyone who’s supported me along the way. Now I’m looking forward to a new challenge at Burnley, and I wish VfB and their loyal fans all the best for the future.”

Best one yet.

Welcome, Darko!

As with almost all of our signings this season, I've never heard of him. But I'm quite enjoying turning up to every match with a new signing to see!

That's perfect!

Come on CFS! Get this one going, please!

I know I am an aged grumpy Claret, but somehow I have a smile on my face, just watched the twitter announcement and well, we may not get promoted but we are going to have a right go and with 5 subs allowed, wingers not doing it today.....wack on two more, feels so strange to be looking forward to the next game with a smile on my face. UTC and whoever is responsible for this breath of fresh air well done.

I think I prefer the WWE/Rock one for the Bastien announcement.

We might need to have a poll after the window shuts to see which was the favourite

He's Macedonian
He comes from away
Where does he play? Where does he play?
He plays as a winger
D A, D A, D-ARKO, D-ARKO D-ARKO
D A, D A, D-ARKO, D A, D-ARKO

I definitely think this is why it takes 5 days to announce new signings now.

Lights, camera, action, takes a while.

As expected, the German FA have moved quickly and the international clearance paperwork has been processed which means he's available for tomorrow's game.

Welcome to Burnley, Count Darko Beard.

Looking forward to seeing him perform.

Excellent news.

I wonder how they “sell” the video to them

Not too bad explaining the Rock concept to Bastian or Frwimds to Vithino, but how the hell did they explain Most Haunted to Darko

As many have said, the CFS won't get past singing just the chorus - D-A-R-K-O.
But that'll be fine.

"North" Macedonia.

Those surly Greeks can stick it in their cheap kebabs. Forcing them to change the name of their country is just about their sole contribution to humanity since they invented triangles.

We all know where Macedonia is and it's in the South.

Are we okay calling him darko or will someone be offended

Trying to understand the history of that region and its current ethno-politic considerations requires a brain bigger than mine. That North Macedonia exists in the modern era within peaceful transitions, is pretty much a miracle.

A population of 2 million, its nominal GDP is less than the annual revenue of Sainsburys.
