What a blow! - Shaka Hislop on Nico Williams staying at Athletic Club | ESPN FC

What a guy bro ❤️❤️❤️❤️ cheers to Nico. Better is to come in the future, and would be amazing to see him stay at Athetlic similar to his brother and Munain

The media should stop publishing stories about Barcelona signing players.

Great for Athletic. For now.

True. Barca doesn’t have any plan. They are now going after Olmo. As if its a marketing target. Olmo is good player but What barca desperately need is a DM. But no its as if they are targeting Euro performers for PR. Their team building doesn’t make sense. & its obvious that like Xavi, Flick will have a hard time cuz Laporta & Deco these two just do whatever they like. As if its a PR competition with madrid. U srsly think Flick doesn’t want a ball wining DM? Thats like pivotal part of his style of football. So He obviously wants that. But still Barca going after Olmo despite having so many players in that position just proves they have lost it.

why is rm being mentioned>? not like they care about nico

Good for Nico. He must not associate himself with a criminal org.

I don’t agree with Shaka very often however he is right on point about Barcelona

This has nothing to do with Xavi, Nico Williams might stay at Bilbao because it’s his home and they convinced him to stay ( his family and the club). If it’s about just money who could have join one of the oil clubs of PSG and the others in the premier league.

They won't get Dani Olmo either.

Barca can't afford a 60m release clause plus wages lol he was never joining.

So, as reports go, this was because the player changed his mind because of his brother, mother, and the club itself. Bilbao always treated him as his home, so there cannot be any hate. Nico would have been nice to have but was it critical we got him no. Just look at the squad we still. With that being said, we still got one of the most critical signings in Flick. Barca had three deficiencies imo last season. 1. Fitness and nutrition. The team fizzled in games due to a lack of fitness. 2. Injuries. Flick is on a mission to correct this, as he has even started including dental physicals due to studies in sports medicine. 3. Lack of intensity and pressing and poor defensive tactics, and players played out of their natural position.

As a madrid fan am sad. We need strong Barcelona again .

They never could have afforded Williams. I honestly don’t know why fans actually entertained that nonsense.

Time for Brokelona to accept that their corrupt poverty stricken club was nothing before Messi and will be nothing after him.

He really should made a big money move right now

As usual, espn making this a story about Barcelona's finances with total disregard to the actual reality of the situation Football isn't all about money and that's probably a shocker from their perspective Let Barca fans express how they feel about their club instead of trying to convince us we should be outraged about everything!

Did we fail or the player won't come. Because we want him. We have the money but it's the player. Plus where do these reports come from.😂😂😂😂

I would prefer Real Madrid to lose out on key signings but Barcelona will have to do. we all know the dance anyway for the new season and I don't even need my crystal ball. Real Madrid enough said but congrats to Athletic and any other clubs out there who are subjected to these Cartel boppers

Oh no! Consequences… the Catalan circus never disappoints

If the player decides to stay at his club, thia has nothing to do with barcelona . It was the same with mbappe to madrid. Was it madrid fault when mbappe decided to stay at psg ?
