Gary Johnson was relieved to welcome three new faces to Bristol City's squad in time for the start of pre-season training yesterday. Scotland striker David Clarkson, former Colchester United goalkeeper Dean Gerken and young left-back Andre Blackman have all put pen to paper at Ashton Gate. Bristol City boss Johnson is hopeful of adding at least two more faces in the next few days and he said: "It is a relief because it is important to have the lads you want in as quickly as you can at the start of pre-season. You want them to be here for the first day and I have been really pleased with the three signings we have made. They are good personalities and they all have got that sort of ambition I like to see. It is great to have new faces and it is something you need to do at times to liven things up."

Bristol City wideman Michael McIndoe was last night in talks with Sheffield United over a move to Bramall Lane. City boss Gary Johnson confirmed that McIndoe was absent from the start of pre-season training yesterday morning after an undisclosed offer for the Scottish wideman had been accepted. Former Yeovil star McIndoe was reunited with Johnson in the summer of 2006 after arriving at Ashton Gate from Wolves - but the Bristol City boss now expects a deal to be completed within days. Johnson said: "Sheffield United are talking to Michael at the moment and that will probably happen within the next couple of days. I don't want to say too much about it at this time, because it has not happened yet and Michael could still come back here. Once it is done we will be able to talk about the reasons in greater detail."
