ARTICLE: Dervişoğlu signs in from Brentford

[ClaretTony]

But to snap a couple of times at your fellow fans for doing no more than laugh at a video is very bizarre.You may aswell shut the board down and hand it someone less grumpy than you are.

Fine - will do. But shame my comment flew over your head.

[jdrobbo]

Cheers for the news, Tony. Sounds a good signing but time will tell I guess. Seems strange us now loaning players from Brentford but this is the beautiful thing about the football pyramid: it’s Brentford’s turn at the top table.

[jtv]

Tony they complement each other. The article gives a lot of career and personal information that the video doesn't, and the video is an interesting and novel way of announcing it. I look forward to both!

[SalouClaret]

So we sign a player and virtually no one is interested in him, just the video. We might as well just shut the board down.

...yeah, people don't care about the signing at all. Think someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Good signing, great video.

[clarethomer]

Another YouTube video of him playing

[1989_claret]

No, but it can only help if we’re raising our profile across social media.

Exactly this! Social media is the most important marketing tool for the club.

[AGENT_CLARET]

I think we need a pronunciation guide!

His name https://youtu.be/smX7tDllcdw

[KateR]

can he play tomorrow?

[Bosscat]

You're right, I was looking at the wrong g. So the ğ is as in Gündoğan and the ş is a sh

The Dervishs were an old sect of Muslims who believed in Austerity and were noted for their dancing (usually spinning) very fast hence the term "Whirling Dervish" and oglu mean "son of" a bit like vic or Vitch in eastern european languages... so his name means Son of Dervish

[Goody1975]

can he play tomorrow?

I would think so.

The cons of the take over are well documented, and we all are in complete agreement that it should never be allowed, and its weakened us as a club

But the last two/three months also show things that deserve praise, and that includes the social media department work on the signing videos

And they are undeniably brilliant

[RVclaret]

We are awaiting a response from the EFL

Sadly due to point 1 then point 2 will never happen for some. Too many examples from numerous people that no enjoyment of fun will ever be had for them.

that's either your attempt at a word play, but it's groan-worthy, or it's a full-on woosh. As a goodwill offer I'll mark it down as the former, but I'm not sure

[gawthorpe_view]

I think the club shop are going to have to buy some new fonts if we're going to spell his name correctly on the back of our replica shirts.

[JohnMcGreal]

I can't wait for the next signing so we can watch the new reveal video.

[bobinho]

Is that all people are concerned about - how we announce it?

That absolutely necessary?

The club are finally getting something right, showing us in a great light by being a bit smart and clever with our online presence and plenty are very happy with it.

[bobinho]

Anyway, welcome Halil. Get amongst em lad. All this competition for starting places is great.

[Cheshireclaret]

I can't wait for the next signing so we can watch the new reveal video.

I think somebody might explode into a thousand tiny pieces if any comments are made on future reveal videos...................

interesting that the post from Gp8419 seems to have been censored - it doesn't appear in the thread until it is replied to. If that is true it deserves a head wobble in itself

I understand why the videos are good for the marketing side of things and they’re clearly well done. Does it make me a bad person if I think they’re a bit cringey?

[Dougall]

Getting back to Tony's article, though, I was struck by the respectful tone of Brentford's comments.

[claretonthecoast1882]

No because not everyone wants or likes the same thing. Different preferences can and should be tolerated, just like people can read the article and enjoy it people can view the video and enjoy it. They don't need to be an either or

The video is the only things I can comment on because I know nothing about the player.

I think theres only Scott Twine who I'd heard of out all the signing so far. Everyone else sound like re-gens from Football Manager. I have no opinion of them. I'd seen the names Muric and Cullen before, not didn't know much about them at all.

Weirdly, although we've signed 15 or 16 players... the transfer window itself hasn't been very interesting for me. It doesn't feel like theres a chase anymore, I sorta miss the long drawn out affairs of us offering buttons, and only to lose them at the last minute... getting the player over the line was the best bit... I miss the days of signing players like Brian Stock.

maybe you should try looking - not sure how you can reply to something that doesn't exist. Seems it yours that needs a wobble.

It’s not been censored. The quote from Gp8419 is on page 1, 2nd comment from the bottom

Cheers! So it’s der-vish-o-loo

[walter the softy]

[/

I will give it my best shot bearing in mind that English phonetic system is not regular so here goes…


Der - vish -oh - lu

The g with the hat on top works more like a separating letter to make sure you pronounce both letters either side of it to make two separate syllables rather than combining them to make one syllable.

[forzagranata]

I'm really worried about whether we will be able to keep this social media team on board. Surely after all the accolades a big club or a brand is going to snap them up before the next window?

[Pearcey]

What position do we think he’ll play? Will he be in the Jay role or the Tella? Good depth in the attacking positions.

Not at all, I just think that these 'announcement' videos look so cheap and clunky, but on the other hand, they're not aimed at folk pushing 60 so I just choose not to watch them so I'm not fussed by it.
I grew up like many in an era of Teletext, ClubCall, Radio Lancs phone ins and fanzines, so it's great that there are so many new and instant ways to get news out there without having to ring 0898 12 11 53 to spend 10 minutes at 50p a minute listening to a load of waffle waiting for the teaser 'Clarets in former Coventry striker link?', but FWIW IMO (that's me being modern) the ones I've watched are a complete load of rubbish.

I just hope we can agree a sell on fee for them if they do go

Bizarre post. Brian Stock ? Why ?

I think people may be taking some frivolous comments a little too seriously!

That was proper click bait wasn’t it. The type that cost you a few quid and left you really disappointed.

Quite a few I'd not heard of but had definitely heard of seven of them before - have to admit the only one who has come from Belgium that I knew of is Cullen. But my knowledge of European football is poor, I'd not even heard of Defour.

[Chobulous]

What position do we think he’ll play? Will he be in the Jay role or the Tella? Good depth in the attacking positions.

At least he will play up front under Kompany. We would have had to install the world’s longest bench to accommodate 15 signings under the last manager.

[Cheshireclaret]

Not in the slightest - I’m slightly in that camp myself. The weird thing though, is that these are usually more popular with the younger generation yet by using clips from a 1970’s sitcom, and 2 older movies (I’ve no idea what the film is in the business card scene and I’m 45) then the younger generation (such as my 11 year old son) are missing the ‘joke’ too!

[NottsClaret]

This is the weirdest, most un-Burnley transfer window I can remember. I don't even know if it's been a good one or not.

Seen some pathetic things posted on here in my time, but this one takes the biscuit. Don’t cry.

[ClaretTony]

I'm not sure any of us do yet. It's certainly exciting but whether it's good, bad or somewhere in between we will find out in the coming weeks and months.

[ClaretPete001]

All the best to Halil - welcome.

I couldn't be bothered watching the video or commenting on it albeit that is not to pass comment on those that have.

An odd one. On the one hand no scoring record in club football but has 1 in 2 for Turkey.

I suppose it depends on what happens over the next 3.5 hours but at this point we are somewhat reliant on a 33 year old Jay Rod to carry us through a 46 game season.

And barring suspension and injury we have only signed 2 permanent players, Muric and Cullen, that can get into the first 11.

Now I'm going to get a new one ripped for being negative: deservedly so we are 3rd in the table and apparently author really great videos.

Note: the tone is gentle humour not sarcasm.....!

[bpgburn]

Bit like Babe Station.......So I've heard.

Not sure what clock you are on Pete but 11pm GMT is still 7.5 hours away where I am.

[bobinho]

Beginning to think that's probably the best idea.

No it isn’t.

Your articles are very well respected, read and enjoyed by most people on here. Some people like the videos. I like the videos. Would I rather have them instead of the articles? No. But I don’t need to choose and nor should I. They can both be enjoyed. I’m sure on reflection you know that.
