Nigel Pearson has reiterated his desire to sign a 'maverick' player this month on a permanent deal while also exploring the possibility of bringing loan additions to the club.
The Bristol City manager is eager to get business completed early but recognises the obstacles in doing that with the club's financial situation. Incomings are more likely to happen if the club can push through any outgoings first.
Following the Sheffield United defeat earlier in the season, Pearson claimed the dressing room could do with a maverick and potential matchwinner. He missed out on a summer loan deal for forward Reda Khadra who opted to temporarily join Sheffield United from Brighton.
