'logical' is the definition.
(cohesive can mean logical or coherent)

'he's one to be welcomed' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'to' becomes 'cove' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'be welcomed' is an insertion indicator.
'hes'+'i'='hesi'
'hesi' going within 'cove' is 'COHESIVE'.

'bloke' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
