🚨 Roy Keane on Gakpo not being awarded a penalty against Ipswich:
🗣️ Keane: “I must’ve missed something during the week because I was told last weekend that this was a penalty.
When Alisson made contact with Williams after he’d already taken his shot, I said it wasn’t a penalty. The argument afterwards was, ‘It doesn’t matter that the ball is gone. There’s still contact.’
Fine. I disagreed with it, but at least that’s the explanation.
Now look at Gakpo. He releases the pass, though it gets intercepted, but the defender comes across and takes him out. The attacking move is already gone. Then there’s contact.
So where’s the penalty?
Whether Gakpo’s pass was intercepted doesn’t matter. Williams had already wasted his chance last week as well. If contact after the attacking action was enough to punish Alisson, why isn’t it enough here?
That’s what drives players and managers mad. I don’t even need them to agree with me anymore. Just agree with themselves.
Last week I said Williams had already completed what he wanted to do and people told me I was wrong.
Okay. Then give Liverpool the penalty today.
You can’t have both.”

▪️ Arsenal showed late interest yesterday but decided against meeting Lyon’s £30M asking price.
▪️ Sunderland then swooped in, agreed a £30M package and lined up a five-year contract for Fofana. A medical was booked. ✍️
▪️ Crystal Palace HIJACKED the deal by offering £33.5M, which Lyon accepted. 🦅
▪️ Fofana’s camp had TWO private jets ready — one for London and another for the North East. He initially chose London to complete his Palace move. ✈️😭
▪️ Sunderland responded by matching Palace’s £33.5M offer while improving the commission package for Fofana’s representatives.
▪️ ANOTHER U-TURN. Fofana then headed back towards Sunderland, leaving Palace in the dark over his whereabouts. 😳
▪️ Palace responded AGAIN by increasing their salary and agent commission offer to roughly match Sunderland’s package — and became confident they could hijack the transfer for a SECOND time. 💰
🚨 And now for the craziest part: Fofana is undergoing a medical… WITHOUT KNOWING WHICH CLUB HE’S ACTUALLY HAVING IT FOR. 😭😭
Sunderland. Palace. Sunderland. Palace.
Absolute Deadline Day CHAOS — while Fofana’s representatives look set for a very nice payday. 🍿💸
