You can be cynical because of the past, sure. To actively not want him because of some made up notion like he's too old, past it, too much of a circus, he's turned us down in the past and various other misnomers being bandied about makes no sense to me.I think people have just been here many times before and are very cynical of Messi and Barcelona. Its a severe case of de ja vu and people see it for what it probably is.
