Just finished my first season with Bilbao finished 3rd and won the Copa del ray, signed Azpilcueta and Ruffier myself, Youth intake wasn't very good but i spent around 15m on regen youths. I was going to throw a story up myself until I saw this, very well done and can't wait for the next update :D:D

Did you buy Benat? He is an assist machine! I found in the first 2 seasons I spent money (Azpilicueta, Ruffier, Monreal etc) but then found I got £50m each year with nobody to spend it on until Cidoncha came along.

I say give it til year 3 and u should be nearly toe to toe with the big 2 - thats what it took me even wit Aitor Herrera - but maybe I am just rubbish lol
 
Fermin Garcia Appears to be the better of the two and alot better in the air like Llorente so should be a good direct swap :)

FEBRUARY
Bilbao reach 3rd consecutive Copa del Rey final
Lead now extended to four points
Levante sack their manager
Fulham concede a 2 goal lead in Europe to Athletic Bilbao

A very good month all round (even my B team has pulled itself clear from a relegation scrap!). Convincing win in the cup semi final puts us through to meet Valencia. Some very convincing league displays with plenty of goals going in and in Europe we were 2 down to Fulham but scraped a draw in the end.

Ekiza 2, Llorente

Real Valladolid 1-5 Athletic Bilbao
Aitor Herrera 2, San Jose, Muniain, Ayechu

MARCH

Bilbao thrash Barca and Real to all but clinch the title
Bilbao to meet Napoli in Champions League Quarter Finals

Goals, goals, goals and more goals! lol. We went goal crazy this month. Muniain extended his run to scoring in 6 league games in a row and had a goal disallowed in the game that ended that run. Easy victories against Barca and Real Madrid - against Madrid we had over 30 shots on goal! 9pts clear now - the title is surely ours!

Sevilla 1-3 Athletic Bilbao
Javi Martinez, De Marcos, Muniain

Athletic Bilbao 3-0 Barcelona
Susaeta, Ander Herrera, Muniain

Athletic Bilbao 5-2 Fulham

A good win as we went down to ten men after 6min and had Iniesta taken off injured after 20min.
