Carrying on the trend of announcement videos from the summer window…

Brlliant.

I hope the uptheclarets article is better than the announcement video

To infinity and the Prem

Exciting signing, exciting times

Very good. A pity that they haven’t done one announcing the departure of Weghorst.

Another A* announcement video.

Great New’s amazing how quick we shift in the transfer market now so refreshing

He sounds another exciting prospect.

Extremely satisfactory UTC

Born in Baghdad a year before the Iraq war broke out and moved to Belgium as a refugee aged 5.

That can’t have been a picnic.

I don’t know Belgium’s not that bad.

What I like about the video is that is implies there are more 'presents' to come...

Let's hope it's not Stinky Pete

I’ve just the photo of Ameen standing alongside Kompany. He looks a tall and strong unit for a centre back....just the kind of young player we need. The future looks bright.

Another really exciting prospect to to add to the squad.

Excellent.

Not really been keeping up with the rumours so far. Keep seeing names being mentioned but not dug deeper. Is this the guy who has a decent turn of pace?

I know he's a defender and I have seen a bit of a YouTube reel but not a lot to go on.

So what do we know about him?

Saw this shared on a Facebook fans page:

Welcome Ameen.

Looks an exciting signing judging by my one minute of internet scouting

Great welcome video too.

There are only a handful of clips of this lad online, and given that barely twelve months ago he was leaving Standard Liege for Sint Truiden for about 500k it is fair to say his rise has been pretty meteoric - but he's a really interesting proposition. Clearly Kompany rates him which is good enough but he's impressed at a good level in Belgium this season - and if he's tall (he is), quick and comfortable on the ball (we're told he is) thrn he's got a pretty good starting point. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

Great signing. And ameen that.

Loved the comment on twitter to the Toy Story Video ... "bloody hell thought we had signed Pickford"

Have we a song for him yet

Welcome aboard young man!

Looking forward to seeing him play.

Ameen Al Dakhil
He likes a good tackle
Born in Iraq
He’s our centre back

I’ll let someone else think of the tune !!

do you think the Cricketfield Stand is up for some rappin?

Ameen, he's so quick just like a cheetah
Ameen, he's so tall he's gonna outjump ya
Ameen, he's so clean you're gonna be in the dumpster
Ameen, he's so mean you'll be sitting on your ass-a

Tune, of course is "I mean" - Young Thug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyQ4zOS ... ojTFL9ipBc

All my people right here right now
Do you know what ameeeeen

To the Dexys tune:

Come on Ameen, Al Dakhil I mean, he comes from Iraq,he's our center baaaack/.

Don't know who is responsible for scouting these players, it might be predominantly VK. The team in charge are doing a fantastic job. How many players have we signed since Summer for a figure not a million miles to the one we paid for Dale Stephens. Wow how far have we come ?? and with TBH temporarily injured its absolute perfect timing. Have a good feeling about this lad

Welcome to Burnley FC, Ameen Al Dakhil.

You won't see no-one better and you call him Al

I saw this on Twitter but I think we can personalise it more.

Al Dak-hil is a Claret now
You'll never beat Ameeeeen
Yeah, yeah

Lets try and get the Cricket Field to keep it on tempo!

No one has run one past me yet, so no.

But I've got my thinking cap on and pen and paper to hand 🖊

Ameen Al Dakhil, a defender so strong
On the field, he never does wrong
With his head held high and his eyes on the prize
He'll defend with all his might, till the end of the size

He clears the ball, with power and grace
Opponents find it hard to get past his place
With every tackle, he earns his team's trust
Ameen Al Dakhil, is a defender you can't bust

He organizes the defence, with a calm mind
His leadership, one of a kind
With every game, he shows his class
Ameen Al Dakhil, a defender of mass

With Burnley, he'll make his name
A defender, who'll never be tamed
So let us cheer, for this young star
Ameen Al Dakhil, a defender from Iraq, who'll go far

Oooow Ameen Al Dakhil, ooow Ameen Al Dakhil, oooow Ameen Al Dakhil....for as long as you like.

Remember when we signed Brian Easton?

I'll admit I know as much about Al Dakhil as I did about Easton but you just know this lad has been properly scrutinised and identified as a real prospect.

If you'll be my centre half
I can be your long lost pal
You can play for Burnley
And Burnley, when they call you up, can call you al
We can call you al

Im really disappointed no one has linked Dakhil and Tackle kind of rhyme - Surely thats a basis for a song, no?

I wouldn't advise Googling for any suggestions.

Yes

I guess nobody likes the rap idea then.... Ameen.... I mean I guess Macca is a bit of a John Denver type then...

But I think - "he's from Iraq" sits better with the tune

ok, I've got it

Come on Ameen to the tune of Come ON Eileen

it's all we need - everyone going de-de--de-de-de-de-de-de and then
Come on Ameen
Da Do Rah-ey
etc

Presume this is because of THB injury and also because Longs gone . Will he be ahead of McNally? I know Vinny doesn’t like Taylor at CB ( does anyone ?) Looks like he’s here to play so be good to see him in action . This league needs quality CB’s .

We should keep him for ten years, by then he’ll be over dakhil.

I’ll fetch my coat 🫣

To the tune of I am the beat by a group called The Look
( I think ? )
Ameen Dakhill, Ameen Dakhill Ameen Dakhill, he won't be beat.
Fair enough it's shite.

Attack attack, attack attack Iraq


Mmm........on second thoughts maybe not

Looks quick from a few clips on YouTube.
