With the Championship season getting underway this weekend, some managers will be frantically trying to conclude transfer deals to get new faces in their squad in a bid to hit the ground running.
Nigel Pearson won't be one of those after confirming transfer business is likely to remain quiet in regards to incomings unless one or two players leave. He also claimed there could be no new arrivals but then again refused to rule anything out.
There's still plenty of time for circumstances to change with the market closing on September 1 and with most free transfers now finding new clubs, it means clubs may have to be patient in getting deals over the line when there is a fee involved.
