If we play Athletic at the Camp Nou on Nov 26, I wanna hear some really loud boos whenever this mf touches the ball
Why bother, he's a closed chapter for us.
I normally don't have "schadenfreude", but I hope Bilbao plays ass this season and their fans start to turn on him - than let's see if he wants to extend his 10 year contract another year...

Definitely needs to be booed, no question

Nobody yes but he disrespected the club. That 10 year extension was out of nowhere, he didn't even tell Barca anything. Basically played us like some shitty little club

But is rumors are true, that we pressured him to dump his agent... well, than it puts things into perspective.

Iñaki Williams, on his brother Nico not joining Barça:
"We all know how the football world operates and the kind of pressure they (Barça) tried to put on all Athletic fans, and on my brother. They launched a media campaign, probably thinking it would work in their favor. At Athletic, when we go after a player, we do it quietly. All that outside noise caused a lot of harm and created unnecessary confusion. A lot of what was said, leaked to the media, or spread on social media simply wasn't true."



Right, he can surely explain how Nico's agent begging Deco to meet and Barca to think about a transfer this summer suits his logic. Surely it has nothing to do with damage limitation in front of your own fans :lol:
How predictable. You just need to hope your brother won't start to hate you going forward for convincing him to sign a 10 year deal at Bilbao. Because he doesn't seem like he wants to spend his entire career there.

There were already reports about such a long term deal with Bilbao since April, I think it was @Horatio who posted it here.

This isn't just a family thing, Nico wanted it and he played both clubs to get the deal he wants. His brother won't go out and say "we leveraged Barca to get more money from our boyhood clubs" and will make as the bad guys.

Barca themselves were gullible, top to bottom, and have themselves to blame.

Bilbao will be the ones who has to worry, they are committing over 10% of their total salary cap to one player for a full decade. If he gets Umtitied (hopefully not) they will be fucked, badly
