Did we have any more in our starting 11 than Huddersfield had last season? It would be better if you could get people on a permanent deal, but loans can work if they're the right ones, joining the right team.

I think we have gone about our business to make sure that relegation won't mean a complete rebuild and those who may leave can easily be replaced. ie if Dunk and Duffy left we have Golson and Hune to step in with continuity. A drop won't kill us.

Weren't we having to rotate the match day squad as we had more loan players than the five that were permitted?

You will be even more delighted before this week is out.
I am expecting us to break our transfer record again, to bring in another key player. ( May even be another Dutchman )

Tbh our transfer strategy has been good for a while now. We have one dreadful summer but all in all we have recruited well since CH has been in charge and you could easily argue fairly well during the Poyet era. Never expected anything different from the club this summer other than a careful and sensible approach. Positions identified that we wanted to strengthen and we have worked on that in a methodical order. Number 10, GK, LB, brown. We missed out on Tammy Abrahams but that's life and 2 CM missed when one failed the medical and the other just not for sale but the club know there are other options already in mind so move on and have got the Propper deal over the line at a good price again.
People on here are sometimes not realistic about what we can pay, are impatient or have played to much championship manager for their own good.
Trust the club to get the right players for the squad. They built the squad to get us here and I trust them to build the squad that keeps us here

This does seem to be a Strategy we pursue, pairing signings, the Israelis, Ingolstadt etc... so could be a Dutch striker or a player from PSV.

Who would you suggest, if we are late splashing the cash?
The only one that I have fancied even remotely in our money frame, would be Ineahacho, and then, he would have to want to come to us. It really isn't to easy to get a striker for our money, that would be good, fit in with the team ethic that was so important last season, and, want to come to a team that is favourite to go straight down again. Of all the strikers that have so far moved, is there any that we would have seriously wanted as a first choice.

Luuk de Jong supposedly a target for palace plays for PSV and is Dutch.
Bas Dost is a beast as well plays for sporting and another Dutchman who could be on the move at right price. He's no Baldock upgrade though defo a number 9 type. Scored a ridiculous amount of goals last year

Spot on. Rosenior is more than adequate cover too. And while we're on the subject of what we need now, I'd be quite happy with Sanchez as third choice keeper (with the option to recall Walton in January). The more money in the striker fund the better.
As long as he dosn't celebrate goals with a moonwalk . . . . .

Dost will be very expensive (his release clause is said to be £60m, and Sporting has no need to sell), and his current state is similar to the infamous van Wolfswinkel (both being Dutch strikers who scored bucketloads of goals for Sporting)
Jorgensen from Feyenoord would be ideal, but sadly, Champions League football will be what makes him out of our reach

Need the striker. One injury to Murray and we are in big trouble

I'm not going to ask your source, but can you give us a clue?
Seeing as Iheanacho has already left Manchester City for first team football at Leicester, we'd struggle to sign him.
