The clock's ticking in the transfer window with exactly one month left for managers to try and bolster their squads.
For Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson, business is likely to be few and far between after conceding there is a possibility the club could welcome no further incomings unless one or two players leave first.
With a thin squad already, that poses a dilemma for the manager although interest from Bournemouth in club captain Dan Bentley may just start a domino effect of deals if it goes through. The 29-year-old has just a year left on his contract at the Robins and therefore the club may not be able to turn down a respectable offer.
