The January transfer window is notoriously difficult to navigate but Bristol City have plenty of reasons to be optimistic heading into a new month.
Three new signings came through the door in goalkeeper Nikita Haikin, attacking midfielder Anis Mehmit and forward Harry Cornick. Despite City having a relatively slim squad before the transfer window, nine players departed in Ryley Towler, Dan Bentley, Han-Noah Massengo, Chris Martin, Timm Klose, Stefan Bajic, Joe Low, Dylan Kadji and of course, Antoine Semenyo.
The arrivals bring their own qualities and despite the sacrifices of losing players that have been loyal servants and strong characters in the dressing room, City crucially managed to reduce the wage bill and balance the books.
