Those legs 
I would give him a rub down every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Can't wait to see him play for us.
Seems a smart guy. The way he talks about Bielsa is great, he should take brilliantly to Van Gaal. I love him already.
Are the lads back in training then? Ander is wearing United shorts in that pic...
I would imagine some players who were not involved in the World Cup may have returned for fitness assessments.
Ander on Marcelo Bielsa and how he helped him become the player he is now.

They basically just ripped off Andy Mitten's MEN piece but without attributing it to him, cheeky. Usually newspapers at least go through the effort of saying 'in an interview given to X'. Doubt Mitten cares but its still a bit impolite of the Mirror.
More praise for Ander from Graham Hunter.
More condemnation from Athletic.
"Their maximum aspiration has to be to play here"
So basically Bilbao want their players to have no ambition at all and settle for a mid table team, occasionally pushing for champions league and not having big wages

Great interview. Oh and Bielsa
Anyway, as someone already said, his tactical knowledge and attention to detail will be immense because of Bielsa, he will thrive under LvG!

Athletic Bilbao are a very very strange club.
I really like Athletic generally but yet I have this strange desire for us to go in and sign Iturraspe this summer. Partly because he's the type of player we're looking for and partly because the meltdown would be funny.
Ever heard of slavery, Mr President of Athletic
Did he throw a similar strop when Martinez left?
Martinez had to sneak into Bilbao's training ground at night to get his stuff. Bilbao really don't like it when their players leave.
What the feck
The basques have actually chilled out a fair bit in recent years - I remember death threats for Lizerazu not long back!
Bilbao President complaining again. Really upset or just to keep the home fans on-side?

Politics.
That is hilarious if true.
Their way of painting Herrera as the villain. Guillem and Graham Hunter have both said it's Bilbao's way of saying " we wanted to keep him, but he was forced away". That kind of politics.
In case people have forgotten: We have signed an actual, proper central midfielder. Felt it just needed reminding to let in sink in some more

Hilarious.
Superstitious people are going to ring your neck!Just waiting for the inevitable 9 month cruciate ligament injury?
It is! Bayern also kidnapped Martinez for a midnight medical and all that! Great movie it was!
we should pay the fee for Munain while we're at it.
Bring it they won't get near me. I've set my desk up underneath a ladder and surrounded myself with black cats. I'm a fortress, just call me Senderos..Superstitious people are going to ring your neck!
Our Spanish contingent are just adorable.
Was Herrera named in Spains 30 man provisional squad for the World Cup?
Don't think so iirc. Might be wrong.
No, but they're well stocked for midfield players, even though none of their midfielders performed.
This is pretty disrespectful in my opinion. There are no players with "no ambition at all", just with different kinds of ambition. You talk about ambition like the definition of it would be to hike the easiest road to trophies, fame and money."Their maximum aspiration has to be to play here"
