How dramatically things have changed from the summer of arrivals that was greeted with excitement, even if the twists and turns did catch fans by surprise.
As reported by The Guardian in their analysis of the record-breaking £1.9 billion spend by Premier League clubs, Chelsea's new ownership led by Todd Boehly contributed an estimated £255m to that huge sum.
Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeang were the standout additions among that summer spend, which could have included more. Two months after transfer deadline day there has been ample opportunity to assess the new additions and how they have fit in.
