Marco André Matias signs for Wednesday for £3 million. Business expected to start in earnest with all clubs soon.
Wednesday are my surprise package this season. I think may only be pretenders though and eventually their squad (like Brighton, Reading, Rotherham) is deficient in numbers. Wednesday have some quality players and now this!
Not that I have ever seen the winger play, although the name rings a bell.

Where have they signed him from?

Nacional of Portugal. Scored 20 goals in 36 appearances in their top flight last year. Nowhere near as good as an Iranian from the 2nd tier of Dutch football obviously

Nacional in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, scored 17 in 33 last year and was fourth top goalscorer in the league.
Seems last season was his only productive one though. Only managed 6 in two seasons and 42 apps at Vitoria Guimarães before that and didn't score many in the division below for various sides.

So, Wednesday are exploring lots of different 'markets' to get best value. Very different to how Derby are doing business. Our strategy appears to be more akin to Wednesday's. Let's see if it's as effective

They have a Portugese manager now so expect more players from Portugal to arrive at Weds. Maybe Texeira will end up there

Its reported as 3m Euros. So approx a £2.2m fee in old fashioned pounds via ...

All these new players of dubious vintage makes me think the Championship will be very even and exciting next season. I just hope we get the four players to compete.
Video shows their new Portuguese winger will suit the Wednesday style of last season. Deep defence and a one man breakaway.

Signing Marco André Matias is so much more exciting than signing Darren Bent, even with all the goals he scored for them last season.So, Wednesday are exploring lots of different 'markets' to get best value.

Nothing special in the video. A Colunga one would look better!"

Either of them or similar quality signing for Brighton would be orgasmic, never mind exciting. We can but dream. Two players who clearly know where the net is.
Josh McEachran: Brentford set to sign Chelsea midfielder
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33410727
He would become Championship side Brentford's sixth signing of the summer and would join Akaki Gogia, Ryan Williams, Yoann Barbet, Konstantin Kerschbaumer and Andreas Bjelland at Griffin Park.
I think I remember Josh McEachran standing out against the Albion and made a mental note of it? Brentford needed to replace Pritchard but they already have Judge who is good without being flair. Brentford looking to finish ahead of QPR!

I think Bent will have one last good season for Derby although it is rare for a top flight star to make a comeback in a lower division.
Matias looks like another CMS to me. False dawn for them, maybe? I hope so.

Bent would have been an excellent signing and good luck to Derby. But not sure why Brighton can only but dream of signing, lets say, £2m+ players. We've bought three of them in the last four years.
And our spending this summer is clearly not over.

Fingers crossed eh?
Baldock was around 2 million, who were the other two 2 million plus players though?
Ulloa was 2 million Euros, Stockdale was £1 million. You're not sneaking CMS in there are you ?

I have been saying for weeks we should have gone after Josh McEachran or Lewis McGuggan they are exactly what we need but rumours says we are back chasing after Lewis Grabban
