If he can live up to even half the brilliance of his signing announcement, Marcus Edwards could prove to be some bit of recruitment by Burnley.
Watertight at the back. In fact, even watertight may be an undersell, it is going forward where the Clarets have struggled. Edwards, who arrived on loan from Sporting on Deadline Day, may help with that. In fact, he's already started. Scoring the winner at Southampton off the bench on his debut in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Edwards, now 26, started his career in the academy at Tottenham, where he worked under Scott Parker. It is that connection that helped lure him to Turf Moor.
"I’ve been around Marcus for some time now and I know his qualities," Parker said after the winner at St Mary's. "The game became alive when he got the ball. So, we’ve got big hopes for Marcus."
Initially he was brilliant at Sporting, with 50 goal involvements in 120 games. But he fell out of favour after injury and the departure of Ruben Amorim from the club. Now is the chance for him to prove himself again back in England and in a league where he made just one previous appearance while on loan at Norwich in 2018.
The first touch may still be giving Luke Ayling nightmares. The cross left Ryan Giles confounded. Enzo Le Fee has made an impression already for Sunderland since joining on loan, particularly his role in the late winner at Middlesbrough earlier this month.
Le Fee is another who has moved to the Championship in the winter window in search of first-team football. Roma paid big money for the midfielder in the summer, but he struggled for game time in the first half of the season.
It led to Le Fee wanting to rejoin Regis Le Bris, his manager from Lorient. Frankly, he is the type of talent you would never have dreamt of seeing in the Championship in years gone by.
The flashes of brilliance have been there so far, and Le Bris is convinced he will only get better as the season goes on.
"I think the Enzo we have right now is probably at 70 per cent of what he is capable of because he didn’t play a lot before coming here," the Sunderland boss said.
“Now, it is just a question of him getting minutes because that is what he needs. Then, I think we will have a better Enzo in two or three weeks’ time."
It is a scary prospect for opposition defences.
We have seen Kelechi Iheanacho in this league before, playing his part as Leicester won promotion straight back to the Premier League last season.
Then, just as had been Iheanacho's issue for years, however, he was still playing second fiddle to Jamie Vardy. It seems that the Nigerian has never really had a consistent run of league games in his entire career.
Now 28, he went in search of that at Sevilla. But made just nine appearances. Now he is back in the Championship, and perhaps at the perfect club for him.
Middlesbrough create heaps of chances, but struggle to put them away. Their main striker Emmanuel Latte Lath has also departed, and this should clear the path for Iheanacho to really prove he can be the striker many thought possible at Manchester City.
He could prove the difference for Michael Carrick's side in their bid to make the play-offs this season.
Nikola Katic has already made some impression for Plymouth Argyle. The leakiest defence in the land before he arrived. The big Bosnian defender has helped plug the massive gaps that were there.
In his debut he helped them on their way to a league win over West Brom, which was their first league win since the opening week of March. In his second appearance he proved there was nowhere he would not put his head or body in their sensational FA Cup win over Liverpool.
The 28-year-old was an imperious presence in their newly-formed back three, his colourful post-match interview - which led to Mark Pougatch having to apologise to an afternoon ITV audience for an industrial use of language - proved he is going to be a very colourful character in this league.
Plymouth looked dead and buried until recently. With Katic at the back and Miron Muslic inspiring them from the dugout, they may just have a chance of staying up.
There is a feel from this move that Southampton are trying to get Adam Armstrong re-acclimatised to the Championship ahead of next season.
The striker has never quite been able to crack the Premier League, but at second-tier level he is a beast. Last season he recorded a, frankly absurd, 24 goals and 13 assists in 49 appearances. He also notched the winner in the play-off final at Wembley against Leeds.
Armstrong has already proven his prowess with a wonderfully-taken goal for West Brom on his debut, as they beat Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
Under Tony Mowbray's buccaneering style it is easy to see his loan acquisition scoring them by the hatful. He will be vital in their push for the play-offs.
Another key member of Southampton's promotion-winning squad has found himself back in the Championship, as Stuart Armstrong joined Sheffield Wednesday in January.
The midfielder had five successful years in the Premier League with the Saints before helping them get back there. He then left to join Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS.
But the 32-year-old's spell in Canada lasted just a few months, as the Scotland international opted to join the mayhem back in the Championship.
He is still working his way back up to full speed in his first couple of appearances, having been out of action for a couple of months, but Armstrong could prove a savvy acquisition for Wednesday as they bid to continue their outside push for the play-offs.
It was a strange year for Ali Al-Hamadi. Thrust into the midst of Ipswich's glorious promotion campaign after jumping up two leagues from AFC Wimbledon, the striker was then involved in the Premier League in the first half of this campaign.
But the 22-year-old never really got a consistent run at either level. starting just three league games and never playing more than an hour. Now he has dropped back into the Championship to try and prove himself with Stoke City.
The Potters are desperate for a striker after seeing top-scorer Tom Cannon recalled by Leicester and then sold to Sheffield United. And Al-Hamadi started well, scoring the equaliser on his debut in their 2-1 comeback win at Hull City.
An Iraq international, the striker who grew up in Toxteth now has a chance to prove what he can really do.
