Raul could be a very good buy for us this summer.
Hard to believe Bilboa are 11th in La Liga.
Raul is too old. I dont think he can play in the Premier League.
Why isn't Farfan on the pitch already?
Bilbao are going for the third now.
Bilbao look far more cohesive as a team. I think that is a Spanish thing. Especially considering all of their players are Spanish.
Villareal are 17th

Celta were relegated a few years ago the same season they played in the CL.
Good footwork from Adrian. Hannover 0-1 Atletico
Atletico just scored in Hannover. The spanish teams....are top.
Not only Spanish but Basque.
And that.
If English teams adopted that policy they would be doomed in Europe.
Lopez scored a wonder goal for Atletico Madrid.
Europa has been far more enjoyable than the CL this season.
Especially considering all of their players are Spanish.

More than that - they all comply with Athletic's loose definition of Basque. One of their CBs (Amorebieta) is actually a Venezuelan international - born in Ven. to Basque parents and moved back to the Basque Country as a kid.

That is true.
Could be all Spanish CL and Europa finals
...and a Euro Champions??
Itsonlyagame- Any chance that Bilbao might sell Muniain this summer?
Can't see us winning the Euros tbh, tough enough as it is, but with almost all our intl's involved in European competition so late in the season, they'll be well knackered. Only Reina will be fresh.
Spain at least a favourit for the Euro champions.
Regardless of how tired they are only Germany's capable of beating Spain.

Not unless there's a ridiculous offer or the kid's bent on leaving, which I don't think will happen.
As well as the identity thing, Athletic are a well off club and can afford to pay players well. The press were saying this week that they were looking to extend Llorente's contract at €5M/season.
