NepentheZ Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 as far as I am aware, they are the only club that do this. It isn't a "Must", either. Its a combination of tradition, and fan appreciation that keeps the club signing the players. IIRC, they get players from 6 or 7 of the Basque provinces Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually try to buy only players from the country I am managing in, or players with dual nationality. So far has only worked with the bigger teams but had limited success with an all English Wigan team. I won the ECL with a Bayern team of all Germans all under 28 but had a really lucky draw throughout and it was incredibly easy to sign players on frees (once I had declared an interest, they didn't renew) because of the team reuptation. Tried it with Milan in 2016 but was surprised at the lack of decent Italian players and found myself signing mainly Argentinians with dual nationality.

solstar Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 A major correction - Numancia have what restrictions exactly? As far as I know they're not Basque and they sign players from anywhere, foreign and otherwise. They may not have many at present as they are in second division and not basking in cash!

I'm more a Bilbao person anyway, admire how they do what they do and that a team with such restrictions can have both a great history and also have played every season in la liga.

They can only play basque players, but they cheat a little: players with basque parents, or from a couple of neigbour provinces (navarra and la rioja) can also play as basques, but they are not truly basque provinces. real sociedad plays with lots of own players but has several foreigners, and numancia has no restrictions.

Chas (Psyatika) Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I have a serious question for Bilbao managers. The club is surely big enough to scout the entire world. Do you have the option to send scouts all over the world, so that you can get half Nigerian, half Basque players in your youth team? I mean, it's a silly premise, that your knowledge of Nigeria determines how many Nigerian-born Spaniards turn up in the Basque country, but that's how FM works, so is it possible?
