The question is that why does Merson think

[ex_pat_magpie]

that Maxi would want to go to a lesser team?

[Alberts__Lob]

It's obvious to us....he wouldn't. That Man City performance has probably added another £10 to £15 million to his value imo and make more people take notice

Perhaps Merson was just pointing out that Man-U are (once again) going to hugely over pay for a player (Anthony) and he thinks the Saint would be cheaper

Maxi is at the most ambitious club on the planet so he's going nowhere soon
