According to Wilcox, the key to successful signings is finding players who are willing to improve and work as part of a team. He emphasized that it's not just about assembling a talented group of individuals, but creating a cohesive unit that shares a common goal.
Wilcox cited Eric Cantona as an example of a player who embodied the qualities the club is looking for. He described Cantona as an "ultimate professional" who was dedicated to the team and its values.
Wilcox also highlighted the importance of a strong team culture, pointing out that many players are arriving at training sessions early and being prepared for practice. He believes this shows a positive attitude and a commitment to the team's success.
Compared to last year's transfer window, Wilcox noted that this year's process has been more organized and structured. He credits the club's recruitment team and data analysts for their involvement in the process, which helps identify the right players for the team.
Wilcox emphasized the importance of thorough background checks to ensure that players are clean-living professionals who will fit in with the club's values. He believes that this approach will help the club make better signings and build a stronger team culture.
