Basques are quite an incredible race of people, very very fiercly independant ....this kind of thing doesn't altogether surprise me.
By the way, he wouldn't welcome being called a Spaniard!!
I recall Tomassi doing this for Roma - he had an injury that was keeping him out and asked to be moved onto statutory minimum wage. Cristiano Lucarelli also turned down the chance to go to the top 4 side because he'd always wanted to play for his hometown side (Livorno) and took a huge hit in salary to do it.
Compare this with Fat Frank, demanding a £150k a week/5 year contract (how many burgers and roasts can one man need)?
