Nigel Pearson makes Bristol City deadline day prediction and lays out his transfer plans

Nigel Pearson has forecast a quiet final week of the summer transfer window but has conceded he will look to recruit at least two players, should Bristol City be forced into the market by the sale of one of their prized assets.

Pearson’s contempt for the circus around deadline day is well established and the City manager admits he has no intention of joining the staff, who will be on alert at the Robins High Performance Centre, for late pizza on Thursday night, should there be any movement.

Speaking on Monday, the 59-year-old isn’t anticipating much activity over the next four days as Thursday’s 11pm cut-off looms but accepts the club will be called into action should a significant bid - and he mentioned a figure of £30m - be forthcoming for any of his players.
