Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has praised football chief Dougie Freedman for keeping the squad together.
While Wilfried Zaha departed, Palace secured Michael Olise to a new contract.
The good thing for us in this transfer window is we've kept the team I was hoping to work with again," the manager said. At one stage, with Michael Olise, that looked like it might not be possible.
For me, the best thing about this transfer window is that we still have the team I came here to work with.
We are still working and improving and the club is always open to improving, and Steve Parish and Doug Freedman are still working at this moment to see if we can bring in players to improve the team."
