Giving him shares is a piece of paper, it’s not physical money as such. It’s a security deposit for Messi in reality, “look the shares are worth £180m today, but in 3 years they’ll be worth £240m. See out your 3 year contract then cash them in” it’s an incentive to stay for the duration and gives him a huge payday based on loyalty. In those 3 years we’ll make a shit tonne more than £240m as an example.

Common practice in contracts... I managed an automobile account for a leading electric car manufacturer and their staff were inticed to the company by decent salaries but also share packages.. the ones that joined early did very well indeed... I am gutted I didn’t buy any when I started working with them ~8 years ago... but shit happens.. I’d just lost £2k on shares so didn’t want to get burned again... I’d have been laughing If I’d taken the plunge

He didn’t show!!!

 

[TheThirdDeano]

With all the speculation, if he intended to show up you'd think he'd want to just be early not fashionably late to increase rumours!

Agreed,
He could still turn up, making a point.
but I think he's not going

Why would he go? He’s not a Barcelona player any more...

Says he’s due in training in half an hour so makes sense to get a test before work

I understood that training does not start until tomorrow and therefore all players must undergo covid prior to tomorrow.

Hadn;t thought about that! Haha.

can't believe this is actually happenign

No, there’s video footage of Suarez arriving for training just half an hour ago even though Koeman wants him out - someone had a video on here :)

I'd be interested in a lawyer's take on this, if his legal team have advised him not to fulfil any club obligations as that could be seen as honouring a contract he doesn't believe is valid, trying to get Barca to honour the agreement? Or if its just posturing in the hope that Barca agree to the transfer...

Either way, he's doing his bit to try and make the move happen which looks very positive for us. Fingers crossed.

Fair fucks to Messi for actually doing it
