Sheffield United midfielder Oliver Norwood has branded Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson “bitter” for labelling teammate Reda Khadra “high maintenance”, having revealed earlier this week that he tried to sign the forward on loan.
Khadra was substituted after 34 minutes during City’s 1-0 defeat to the Blades on Tuesday night and in the aftermath of theloss Pearson detailed how he had tried to sign the German from Brighton & Hove Albion only for him or, as the Robins manager indicated, his agent to opt for a season at Bramall Lane.
Pearson reiterated his stance on Thursday, in preparation for Saturday’s trip to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside, claiming his City squad is lacking a maverick talent such as Khadra, outlining the 21-year-old's talent but also stating he was "probably high maintenance".
