Transfer balls: Zidane to Real Madrid, but Spurs boss on shortlist
The big football news on the BBC’s website is that Zinedine Zidane “is set to return as Real Madrid manager just 10 months after leaving the Spanish giants”. Wowzer! That fact amplified by the Beeb is “according to European football expert Guillem Balague”. That would be the same Balague who has also told us:
“Real have shortlisted the Spurs boss to take over at the Bernabeu, according to Guillem Balague” – – Sky
Alvaro Morata was signing for Arsenal. He joined Chelsea and now plays in Madrid.
Santi Cazorla was on his way to join Atletico Madrid. He joined Villarreal.
Juan Mata was joining Liverpool. Mata remains at Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo was returning to Manchester United. He left Real Madrid for Juventus.
He also told us: “Real have shortlisted the Spurs boss to take over at the Bernabeu.”
Undaunted by circumspection, the BBC continues: “The Frenchman will replace Santiago Solari, who was in charge for less than five months.”
He will? Maybe…
PS: Why is the BBC treating guesswork as fact? Guillem Balague hosts BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast Euro edition.
