Intressant läsning angående varför dealen med Herrera aldrig blev av.

Även om United var villiga att betala utköpsklausulen så vägrade Bilbao att ta emot pengarna. Samma sak hände uppenbarligen med Javi Martinez och Llorente.
"He says that after much reflection on the Javi Martinez case, Athletic Bilbao came to realise that the player depositing the cheque on Bayern Munich's behalf (even if Athletic were against the move) wasn't enough to make the deal 100% go through. Once they had discovered this detail, Athletic used it to their advantage and told Bayern Munich that for a unilateral deal like this one to go through, the club has to agree to receive the fee in their bank account.
If Bilbao refuse to receive the money, and there was no obligation for them to do so, the will of the paying club (Bayern Munich) and the player (Javi Martinez) counted for nothing. In order to force the deal to go through, Munich contacted the Financial Council in Bilbao to tell them that this offer was being refused. The Financial Council, who would benefit from this deal going through, pressured Athletic Bilbao in accepting the money by telling them that if they did not do so, they would be required to immediately pay all the debts they owed the Financial Council and would not receive anymore help from them in the future."
Om detta stämmer så är det inget vidare konstigt att United backade ur. Kanske visste de inte om kryphålet som Bayern använde, eller så fanns det helt enkelt inte tillräckligt med tid. Tycker att det är jävligt drygt av Bilbao, utköpsklausulen som man tillsammans med spelaren kommit överens om borde respekteras.
