Football in Brief: Sunderland stall Benitez over move for Jones

Tuesday, 19 January 2010

Sunderland are unwilling to consider loaning their striker Kenwyne Jones to Liverpool and Rafael Benitez will have to raise funds from the sale of Ryan Babel to bring the player in. Benitez has not given up hope of recruiting the Trinidad & Tobago striker with a cash deal though. Sunderland may release him for £10m, with Steve Bruce keen to raise money for his own targets. These include Salvador Cabanas, the Paraguayan striker of Club America in Mexixo and Schalke's Kevin Kuranyi. If Babel can be offloaded to Birmingham for nearer to £10m than the initial £8m bid, securing Jones seems a possibility.

With France and Ireland deadlocked at 1-1 after two-legs of football in a deciding World Cup qualifier, the match went into extra time. With the game apparently heading to penalties, a long ball was played to Henry who handled it, not once, but twice, before passing it back to William Gallas to score the winner. The officials missed the incident, leaving football fans outraged by what had occurred. Surely the Frenchman must be punished? But, as Fifa have confirmed, he got away with it.
