Such a weird post

when you consider the squad contains:

A goalkeeper who, at his best, was one of the best in the Prem
An ex Bundesliga and international CB
An ex Premier League captain CB
A holding midfielder with plenty of Prem experience
A playmaker with 40+ games for Dortmund
A striker with more goals in English league football than any other since 2007
A genuinely quick winger

So that's just seven players, the core of the squad, plenty good enough for at least a promotion challenge.
