Nigel Pearson has admitted he is "not bothered" by Tyreeq Bakinson's departure to Ipswich Town because he doesn't want to keep players who don't want to be at the club.
The Bristol City manager was bullish in his stance on Bakinson, speaking just hours before a loan move was agreed with League One Ipswich until the end of the season, with discussions only having taken place in the last 24 hours.
The Tractor Boys have the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season and it appears Bakinson's long-term future at Ashton Gate is bleak after Pearson conceded the midfielder wants to play his football elsewhere.
