I read on Tuesday that Bayern Munich say it will take £140m to buy

I'm already of the opinion that current transfer fees are inflated, especially in England, but this deal would have blown everything out of the water.

Due to their newly found financial muscle it now appears that City have overtaken Chelsea as the big spenders in the English Premier League and will be forced to pay over the odds for players.

They have already purchased and splashed out £12m to secure the services of .

Both Bellamy and Bridge are great players and have proved themselves in the Premier League over a number of years.

This is obviously the way the market in England is at the minute, but I still reckon it's too much money for two players that have missed an awful lot of football in the last few of years for a variety of reasons.

On the other hand when , perhaps City have got themselves a couple of cracking value for money deals?

Palacios has had a good year and Wigan only paid £1m for him in 2008 - what a return that is.

From one end of the financial scale to the other and Annan achieved a fantastic .

Goals from Bell, Anson and an own goal gave us one of our most comfortable victories of the season.

Watching from the sidelines, I felt we were never in danger of losing the match once Belly put us in front.

Montrose had their fair share of possession but never really troubled our back three, who I thought were outstanding - Peter Watson in particular.

After a difficult start to the season Watto has came on leaps and bounds and has all the necessary attributes to become a top defender for Annan for years to come.

The manager often talks to the big man and will keep him behind after training to work on certain aspects of his game.

That, coupled with the experience of Derek Townsley beside him, has helped improve his performances a great deal.

Four wins in six have seen us climb to mid-table and if we can take maximum points from our two games in hand we can climb above Montrose.

The team are playing with confidence at the minute but we are under no illusions that we must stay at the top our game.

The manager has already said that we could just as easily fall back into a winless run, such is the competitive nature of the Third Division.

Up and coming games against East Stirlingshire, Cowdenbeath and Stenhousemuir will certainly test us.

As the old saying goes, though, we'll just take one game at a time and see where it takes us.

I was going to finish off with a final mention for Bryan Gilfillan, who we thought had played his final match for the club on Saturday.

We found out at Tuesday's training session his move to Australia has been held up and he will be with us a little longer, so that's good news for us if not for Gilly!

So, I will end with Scott Anson who scored his first goal for us in Montrose.

He's including his goal in the abandoned friendly and has been telling everyone about his two goals in as many games.

What he probably hasn't told anyone is that he had a shocker in training last Thursday - so we look forward to your biscuits this week my friend!
