Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says selling Wilfried Zaha would have been "a bridge too far" after losing Yannick Bolasie to Everton.
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish believes it would have been a "bridge too far" to sell winger Wilfried Zaha during a busy transfer window at Selhurst Park.
Palace sold Yannick Bolasie to Everton in a big-money move and allowed captain Mile Jedinak to join Aston Villa, but held on to Zaha after rejecting what Parish described as a "ridiculous" bid from Tottenham.
Parish says the transfer window was positive for Alan Pardew's side overall, with Christian Benteke a high-profile arrival from Liverpool, while Steve Mandanda, Andros Townsend, James Tomkins and Loic Remy have all added quality to the squad.
