There's plenty going on at Osterdeich! Two new acquisitions and one departure on an off-day of training Tuesday - Werder's manager of sports Thomas Eichin still was able to find time to talk with WERDER.DE about the current situation and draw a positive conclusion about the transfer moves.

WERDER.DE: Mr. Eichin, with Jannik Vestergaard, Werder have once again brought in a tall guy. Is it also a big transfer?
Thomas Eichin: "We are certainly happy to have a player like Jannik Vestergaard in our ranks now. From his skill-set, he would have been interesting for a lot of clubs but he wanted to come to Werder! He is 22 years old, captain of the Danish U21 national team and still has played more than 70 Bundesliga matches. He is a strong addition for our roster."

WERDER.DE: The transfer window closes on Monday! Are you happy that it will be over then?
Eichin: "These have been some special weeks. Since the Dortmund match, we have brought in Öztunali and sent away Elia, Petersen and Obraniak, who haven't played much of a role recently. And then we implemented precisely our plans for the goalkeeper position and the central defence."

WERDER.DE: What's your conclusion?
Eichin: "Without a doubt, we have added quality to our squad and we are well equipped for the second half of the season. We were satisfied with our roster at the end of the first half and now we have continued to develop. There will be new competition within the roster."
