My template new signing interview:

- Fact sheet (age, former clubs, height, etc)
- Name pronunciation ideally phonetically
- What do you like to be called?
- Do you have a song you like from previous clubs or one you’ve always wanted?
- Best moment of your career so far
- Two best attributes
- One thing you want to improve in your game
- What other positions can you/have you played
- What position other than GK would you find the hardest
- Do you know anyone at the club already
- (If non-English) Teach us something in your language
- What sort of character are you in the dressing room

Do you think Wright was the second choice once we couldn’t get Dragos or was robins looking to sign both ?

Not sure you can ask new signings that. Especially Wright!

(I think both)

When would he need to sign by to be eligible to be in the Squad for Sunday?

I think it's normally midday the day before before the game in question but given it's a Sunday match, not sure if they'd give us to midday tomorrow or midday today.

I’d imagine both, can’t see the recruitment teams, Robins and Doug sat there saying “Right, we can’t land Dragus for 1.5m, so let’s move onto Wright for 11m” bit of a jump

I’d also get a leaderboard type thing for maybe shot power and sprint speed from one end of the pitch to the other and any other simple little challenges. Get the existing squad to do it and each new signing. Would be fun, but also we’d get some cool data.

Even his language though; “.. working with the players who are in the building….”

Haji IS in the building!!
Minor point though because as others have mentioned MR is happy to mislead anyway for obviously valid reasons.

Haji may have his paperwork but isn't the weekend cutoff for transfer completions 12pm on the Friday ? So don't expect a hattrick on Sunday from him coming off the bench.

Alexi Lalas not a fan of our new striker

Alexi Lalas is 'p***ed off' by Haji Wright's call up to the World Cup

Wright, who's only scored once in three games for the US, is the second top scorer of the Turkish Süper Lig, with nine goals in 12 matches, and was chosen instead of Ricardo Pepi & Jordan Pefok.

Not sure he's the best judge...

Jordan Pefok scored 4 goals last season, 1 in his last 26 league games & doesn't even make the Union Berlin starting XI.

Lalas is a clown who only ever played in the MLS when it was even worse than it is now.

Wright looks to have the ingredients to be far more effective in this league than Sargent. Really looking forward to him and Simms, don't think opposition defenders will be relishing that at all.
