Everton manager Sean Dyche could not afford to lose any players in the transfer window but admits a balance needed to be struck to help the club continue to work on getting back on an even financial keel.
Defender Mason Holgate had his loan at Southampton cancelled so he could join Sheffield United until the end of the season as it was a deal that was "very favourable" for the Toffees.
But with no incomings expected or arriving Dyche was keen to ensure his small squad, which is significantly impacted by injury, did not get any smaller.
"The balance I've spoken of many times is, of course, looking at the business and financial side, but equally, we're not in a position where we have to start losing players," he said.
"That's a key thing for me as manager with the group we've got - especially as it is. We were very intent on this group staying together.
"We know it's a season's work and we need everyone currently and even more so with the injuries that we've got."
