Well It turns out that if you were to add three really good ****ing players to an already pretty good team, it would probably make a pretty elite team
But let's hear from more myopic fans who think it's absurd if their side isn't the best. Let's turn it over to you bob.
Who ares about the keeper when a "top 6 side" can't even get a shot on goal for 90 minutes

I mean, agreed, Hegazi, Barry and JRod are top, top players, but I don't think I'd call Stojke a "top 6 side".

Yep it's done. As is the Yarmolenko transfer. Pretty happy with what we did. Yarmolenko wasn't mentioned until Dembele was pretty much a lock to leave, 25 million is good business. Well done management 
So looks like we'll be standing at roughly +84,5 million - 20 to Rennes = +64,5 million and an additional up to +42, I think 30 are close to a lock so about +94,5 million for the transfer window with a team that is pretty competitive as of now (imo) and a coach that looks good and wants a play style that will be fun to watch. Good offseason so far I'd say.
Loan out some players (Passlack, Durm maybe), possibly sell Subotic/Rode and in the perfect world bring in a silver bullet RB superstar in the making and it was an elite window. I guess Mor gets sold but maybe we can loan him out.
-Dembele but for a nice amount of €€€, I'm fine with the other players we sold (Ginter etc.)
Toprak=great transfer for the price, gives us a very solid 1,2,3 punch at CB and Zhagadou who looks decent as LB as well (for free)
Dahoud=great transfer (imo), we'll have to see
Götze=great addition for free
Philipp has looked good so far as well, love his unspectacular but efficient playstyle, looked very good defending as well so he'll be a nice fit
Yarmolenko=I think a good depth buy at worst
+kept Auba
If Auba gets injured it'll be interesting to see. I feel like the main plan is to try Schürrle (alas injured) but vs most teams I wouldn't be worried if we'd have to give Isak a shot. RB/LB is a weak spot. I think Guerreiro/Schmelzer will be fine for LB but Piszczek has me worried especially if he has to play a lot. I like goalkeeper, I like CB, I like the 6/8s, I like the wingers and 10s and the striker (except for depth maybe). Overall: pretty happy and optimistic for the season especially if we get some WEAPONZ back

I don't think Chelsea will give them Cahill, player swaps never work.
