I just find it hard to accept that, for the tens of thousands of City fans out there, I don't hear of anyone touting for Glatzel, not even ex pros that now pass as pundits.

If he had half of the talent of Zohore, I think City fans would have given him more backing. If he was an exceptional player, I could accept an argument that says we should play to his strengths. As it is, he's definitely not Premier League quality and he's shown that whether he is top half Championship quality is open to debate. If he is half as good as you say he is, he'd have more to his game and be better at adjusting when the team needs to perform in a certain way. Any notion of building a team around Glatzel to accommodate his strengths is nonsense, given he hasn't done enough to prove he's good enough and worth it.
I don't think he's particularly great, but I defend him as I don't think he's had enough game time where we play his type of foot, when we do he looks decent, but I suppose he needs to be able to adapt and force his way into games, hence my first assessment of him probably not being particularly great.

I liked his goal in the cup, how many do we score like that? His link up with Tomlin.
