Nigel Pearson has hinted he will prioritise signing a defender despite Tyreeq Bakinson's departure to Ipswich leaving the Robins potentially short in central midfield.
The Bristol City manager confirmed he is hoping to bring one or two players in before the transfer window shuts on January 31 but repeated the difficulties of concluding deals on a stringent budget.
Bakinson's future was the hot topic of conversation after Pearson confirmed he was eager to let the 23-year-old leave Ashton Gate because the player had no desire to play for the club.
