Nigel Pearson concedes he may have to “trade” his way to improving his Bristol City squad in the final month of the transfer window, admitting that the club have received enquiries for some of their players, albeit without any credible bids to accept or reject.
City have made four new additions this summer with Kane Wilson, Kal Naismith and Mark Sykes arriving in May and June and very much part of the first-team picture and integrated in the club while goalkeeper Stefan Bajic steps up his recovery from wrist surgery.
The Frenchman was City’s most-recent addition to the squad on July 5 and Pearson would like, based on his previous words, to bring in two more players before the close of the transfer window on September 1.
