For some time now, people have been talking about the revolution at the staff level that Athletic needed, that of giving way to more recent generations of footballers -some certainly beardless- while those veterans without a leading role in recent times are leaving.
In this long and at times tedious process, the continuity criterion in favor of some thirty-somethings who are not having minutes and the illusion of those who aspire to enjoy with immediate effect all the possible new sap overlap. As if they all fit in the team, as if more than twenty guys could be accommodated without Europe.
We still haven't seen
Sancet
in all its extension and we have already asked
Zarraga
,
Victor
and
Black pudding
. They are yet to take root
Unai lopez
,
Nunez
,
Cordova
,
Vesga
and
Villalibre
and we are already asking for transfers to recover the lost motivation of three years without scratching the continental ticket. And all this without ceasing to claim
Iñigo Vicente
and Nwaveskoain
demanding results from the remaining subsidiary.
Perhaps a debate should be opened on the specific convenience of the repurchase option instead of the transfer, if Athletic would be more interested in recovering that forged youth squad at a good price and capable of making a career in San Mamés so as not to insist with so much transfer without fruit and bitter return.
You have to bet and hit. Complicated task. Is it time to change the modus operandi?
