Nigel Pearson certainly wasn't lying when he told supporters not to expect much business in January and on transfer deadline day in particular.
Just one new signing arrived through the door in Timm Klose and despite offers for a couple of players, in which Pearson could only shake his head at the offers on the table, no senior player headed for the Ashton Gate exit.
Cardiff launched two loan bids for striker Nahki Wells while also submitting an offer for Kasey Palmer which were all turned down as the club were only open to letting them leave on a permanent transfer.
