Burnley announced the addition of former Tottenham star Marcus Edwards from Sporting Lisbon.
The winger has joined on loan until the end of the season and the Championship side took advantage of the fact they were signing a player from abroad.
Burnley pinched an iconic clip from the last episode of Friends where Ross listens to a voicemail on his answering machine from Rachel – only instead of Jennifer Anniston’s voice it played lines from club chiefs including chairman Alan Pace.
It begins with bad news for Ross listening in, whose lines sync perfectly with the comments from the Burnley bosses.
The video ends with Ross asking: “Did you get off the plane?” to the potential signing.
He then turns around to see newboy Edwards standing in his apartment rather than Rachel, with the winger saying: “I got off the plane” before saluting Ross.
Audience applause is heard in the background as Edwards says: “Up the Clarets.”
After putting pen to paper, the 26-year-old said: “It feels amazing. Burnley is like a Premier League club. I’m really happy to be here.

“I know Scott from my time at Spurs. I know what he’s like. He’s ambitious, he’s driven. We had a good relationship back then so when I knew he wanted me to come that was enough for me.
“From knowing what he’s like and how he is and the fact that Burnley is such a big club in general. It made sense.
“The main thing now is to get promoted back to the Premier League. I’m coming here to try and get myself into the team. I hope we can make it over the line this season and I hope Burnley fans will enjoy watching me play too.”
Fans loved the announcement with one saying: “Nah they’ve gone and done it again”
Another added: “Absolutely incredible. Bravo ”
And a third wrote: “This media team deserves the player announcement’odor .”
