Derek McInnes: Looking for new defender

Bristol City manager Derek McInnes is hopeful he can bring in a defender on loan in time for the npower Championship clash with Hull on Saturday.

McInnes has been left short of options at the back, with Louis Carey and Lewin Nyatanga struggling with injuries and James Wilson set to serve a suspension following his dismissal against Leeds last weekend.

But the City boss revealed he is close to recruiting a new face to bolster his ranks later this week.

He told the club's official website: "I was looking to bring in a defender anyway but it's certainly something that becomes more apparent now.

"We've targeted someone we'd like to bring in and all being well we'll have that someone in time for the Hull game.

"However, I stress there's still work to be done before we can get it signed and sealed."

xcellent decision, probably one of VERY few footballers who will be remembered as leaving the club after scoring the champions league winning goal with his very last kick! Not many get that tag in football!

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.

ne of the many delights of the final few seconds of the season was seeing little Mike Owen with his trackie off and full replica kit on, getting ready to celebrate having contributed NOTHING all season. Would have been on a par with Terry's carry-on in Munich.
