Almost two weeks into January and despite Nigel Pearson's preference to get deals done early, Bristol City are awaiting their first arrival of the New Year, although that statement shouldn't really be surprising.
It won't be through the want of trying as the Robins try and navigate through a notoriously difficult transfer window as clubs are able to charge premium prices while City attempt to negotiate deals on a stringent budget.
