Good point, La Liga do need the new superstars and that's the issue I have about the possibility of him coming to us.
However good he still is, he is 34 and this would be a very short term signing, and he is a Barca legend and always will be.
After losing Kun, Silva, Kompany and Yaya we need new icons, our icons.
Not every signing needs to be an icon though - if we’re offered the chance to sign Messi then I’d be wounded if we turned him down just because he’s somebody else’s legend.
