Although Burnley are in the Championship, their announcement videos used to reveal new signings are definitely Premier League-level.
Just when you thought the Clarets social media team couldn’t come up with a better video to announce their newest additions, they’ve now published one for January signing Lyle Foster that is themed after Shrek and even features Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo and Messi don’t actually appear in it themselves of course, only their pictures do.
The minute and a half long clip begins with Shrek’s foe Lord Farquaad looking into the film’s Magic Mirror from Snow White. Dubbing over the actual scene from the film, Lord Farquuad says: “Mirror, mirror on the wall, don’t Burnley have the most perfect team of them all?”
The Magic Mirror then responds, saying: “Well you haven’t scored 100 goals so far this season.”
He then gives Farquaad three options, one of which he could sign.
With footballing icons Messi and Ronaldo up for selection, the mirror then shows Foster, a 22-year-old striker playing for Belgian outfit Westerlo. After much deliberation, Farquaad finally picks option number three, Foster.
“Foster,” he says, “He’s perfect.”

And with Farquaad’s seal of approval, they’ll be hoping Foster can help them regain their top flight status.
