In that interview he talks about 3 more loans and a striker, then says he wants 5 players in total. Seeing as Koiki is a free and not a loan, I'd expect him to be the 5th signing, but only if the 3 loanees fill the right gaps in the squad

Doesn't seem overly bothered about the lack of centre Half's. A striker is his no. 1 priority.
Sounds like we'll get two permanent players, Striker will be one of them and a CB if we can the other
Reckon the three loans will be: CB | CM | Striker, if of course we get a CB on a perm then we'll bring two more Midfielders in
Koiki apparently isnt towards the top of the priority list
Sounds like we can only afford 1 permanent, the striker. Then CB, Midfielder and Striker on loan.
It's not that we can only afford one permanent, but the loans will have more quality but don't want to commit to a League 1 club. Their club's, Premier or championship don't want them to leave permanently at this stage.

It's definitely about affordability and the wage cap.
He was awful at Everton and really believed in his own hype once got bigged up in the PL.
You should know the warning signs from ex 'have been' good CBs finishing their career lower down the league. Motivation to show a L1 striker who is boss just isn't there.

He played 32 games for Bristol City last season though, and would be motivated by the chance of playing in the Euros next summer
We need to put all our eggs into getting a top proven league 1 striker now - a marquis type who can do a bit of everything - run the channels, aerial, score, work hard - not get injured!!! and maybe an exciting loan striker from a prem club with pace. Surprised reading LB's comments that we couldn't afford Gunter last year but can now - must have paid well over the average £2k for him surely and we will need to do that to get the quality of striker we will need.

He was great in his first season for Everton, and then I've never seen a player drop of so badly from one season to the next. He came back after the summer and looked like he'd forgotten how legs work. He's since has two decent seasons at Championship level though so it might just be that the PL was too much for him at a certain point
There is no way our permanent centre backs in the squad should be Pearce, Oshilaja and Ashley Williams! Just one from those three will be enough alongside an up and coming CB, for me.

I'd use Charlie Barker. If you're good enough you're old enough and it didn't stop Rufus or Gomez.

He isn't though. He has been ok since he came in but if you want to get promoted out of this league he should not be starting.

Come to think of it, Ashley Wiliams could do a job as an experienced CB for a season...
