Sorry for ruining the party, but there's still time for another twist haha

And embarrassing.
If he can get what he got this year; 5 goals and 5 assists, it'd still be very good. Maybe add two on either side and it'd be brilliant.
Indeed it will be more than our current crop of central midfielders have scored in the last 2 years put together anyway.
Ah feck, I always forget the embarrasing bit.
I'm hearing it's a four year contract with an option of a fifth. Announcement tomorrow morning.
Absolutely no proof, and I can't back it up.

yeah pounds and euros. the post you quoted was in euros.
Well the first bit Ducker tweeted as much, not sure about the announcement.
Yup. This all has been really embarassing.
Embarassing, embarassing, we just need to say that word over and over again.
Just utterly embarrassing how we kept this transfer under wraps until the last days only for the Spanish to leak it and be smug about it. Total shambles I tell ya.

Herrera credited the clause of termination http://bit.ly/1o6Nryy #athletic
:O
From Athletic site:
In the afternoon, on June 26, 2014, the League of Professional Football Athletic Club has certified that the player Aguera Ander Herrera has fulfilled the requirements of the applicable regulations valid for unilateral termination of the employment contract that bound him our Club. Said certification indicates that the player has expressed its willingness to extinguish and unilaterally terminate the contractual relationship that bound him since last July 11, 2011 and has deposited the amount of compensation specified in the contract. Athletic Club thanks the Ander Herrera dedication during the three seasons he has been in the club and wishes him well in his future sports projects. Following the decision of the player, Josu Urrutia President has made an initial assessment by our institution "The Athletic should aim for players whose first choice is to defend the jersey for club In this regard, the decision of Ander Herrera is not aligned with that idea, which is a disappointment for us.". Urrutia also stressed the following "In his day, namely to start the 2011-12 campaign, the Athletic Club joined Ander Herrera of Real Zaragoza and today, with existing contract and counting in our sports project, has taken the two conditions already known to leave entity, ie, wanting to leave the club and pay the buyout clause in his contract collection. Not a good time, but not in any way alter our philosophy and our way of conceiving the line that should work the Club. We have a squad with great players competitive potential, and continue on with the same determination. " Over the next week, date and time specific, Josu Urrutia President will offer a press conference.
No. Whether he is a Bilbao player is a matter for legal debate. As soon as players decided to activate an unilateral breach (the release clause) he is legally no longer a player of the club, he is not exactly the free agent, but he is in transient state so to speak. He legally can do medicals, sign contracts etc. Of course during a course of negotiations the original contract could reinstated, by court for example. Then all his signed documents are considered void, but then neither the player, not the club can not be charged with any misconduct, because they were within their legal rights, even if original contract gets reinstated.
That situation is almost impossible, well i am 99% sure it is impossible in England. because contract are structured differently, but that is how it is in Spain.
Updated my post with their announcement. Google translate job so:

So to be clear: cocks safely out now?
Cocks out 
Very much so
So he's pretty much a united player now. Will he be unveiled tomorrow.
Woo!
Only a matter of time then surely!
We've got him lads.
Well look like it not even a matter of legal debate, i think Athletic Bilbao accepted he is no longer their player without any feet draggings.
oh my god, we're actually going to sign a (good) midfielder. Fergie's probably really pissed off we didn't spend the €36m on a winger or striker instead.
He's coming!
Great news! We signed a midfielder everyone! Get in
