Nigel Pearson has maintained his message over Bristol City's transfer activity this month with the Robins in the market but also realistic over the challenges and complexities of this particular January window.
The Robins do want to make reinforcements but the fact remains that until someone can be sent the other way, there simply isn't the required financial flexibility to conclude anything.
With just under two weeks until the window closes, activity across the Championship has notably quietened although a number of clubs remain intent of getting deals done before January 31.
