The season is less than three weeks away and after the initial flurry of early deals as players approaching the end of their contracts ironed out their futures, transfers across the Championship have gone relatively quiet.
With the transfer window open until September 1 and money being exchanged with the majority of free agents being snapped up, it comes as no surprise given the financial restraints that continue to shackle clubs.
Buying clubs obviously want the best deal available while selling clubs can play hardball often with an added necessity to find time to land a replacement. That could reflect in Bristol City's current transfer state of play with Nigel Pearson still very much in the market for a defender and midfielder.
