Extravagant summer signing announcements are football’s latest hot trend, here is a compilation of the announcements made this summer so far (courtesy of BBC):

Liverpool:

Liverpool fans would know how frustrating it is to wait for a player to be announced, even with all the hectic news circulating all over it, such as with the likes of Dele Alli, Sanchez, Willian and Van Dijk in the past few years. The club utilized the desperate social media madness to announce the arrival of Mohamed Salah from Roma:

Everton:

West Bromwich Albion:

Aston Villa:

Here’s my personal favorite, Aston Villa announcing John Terry’s arrival to the club with an imaginary WhatsApp group chat:

Crystal Palace:

CPFC took inspiration from the Vatican’s method of announcing a new Pope and used the smoke to announce the appointment of Frank De Boer as the club’s new manager, with a South London twist, a Caribbean take-away.

AS Roma:

Using FIFA 17:

Bradford City:

“From Serie A to League One, where Bradford City unveiled Paul Taylor in the way a Sunday league team might unveil their latest ringer five minutes before kick-off.”

@alferroa @Eden17 Firt they did the short animation to present they kits and now they do this. Southampton is quickly becoming my favorite club when it come to banter. :)

lmao

@JuanMata10 This is good. They really went over the top as well. XD

@JuanMata10 LOL now that's funny, cheeky hit at those youtube highlight reels hahaha

AS Roma ripped off Soton's announcement. Amazing stuff right here.

@alferroa First, they parody the youtube highlight reels thing and now they copy Southampton and only add some edit. This is savage and hilarious. XD

AS Roma's marketing team is just the best.

Why Sevilla why!? However, love how the background music sounds just like a sh*tty soap opera 😂 😂

Ffs Roma :D And they've put the goal he scored against us. They're the best troll of the transfer season.

Our announcement video for Negredo was this in case you've missed↓

@Emrecan XD But seriously, with Quaresma, Pepe and Negredo, Besiktas haven't been too bad has shown they aren't too shabby at getting big name player. :)

^And we did it only with the transfer incomes. Since FFP says "you won't pay unless you sell".
All thanks to our Chairman Fikret Orman and his crew :) They are masterminds.

Edit: By the way Quaresma has been playing with us for a couple of years now. It will be his 6th year at Beşiktaş on 2 terms.

@Emrecan Yeah, you are right but when I think about big name Besiktas player, his head jump to my mind at first. ;)

Hmm...

CMON PSG!! They should have made a better (not boring) announcement for Neymar!!

We've been told that a new Beşiktaş video is being edited atm.
Should be announced anytime now. Will share it when Jeremain Lens (best player of Fenerbahçe for 2016-2017 season) is announced.
Will be epic again :)

Aaanndddd it's on again

'#ComeToBeşiktaş

WelCome to Beşiktaş Lens. You will be perfectly fit into our squad and score some great goals against Fenerbahçe :D Damn, awesome feeling.

Video explanation: Lens has always dreamed about the Champions League but he couldn't play. Fenerbahçe also couldn't participate in CL. In the video, Lens is dreaming about Beşiktaş and our Champions League actions, while he is dreaming, Negredo gives him a call ;)) The rest is history. LoL! #Lens'Dream

And it had 10000 RTs in less than 110 seconds!!! At 2 am.

@Emrecan Man, that move musn't be too well seen by Fenerbahce supporter. :( But still, Besiktas are really starting to look good in term of recruiting this summer. :)

VOL 3 (This time Lens and Noah Hutchinson-He is like a team mascot- asking him to #ComeToBeşiktaş)
