Re: Glatzel to Hamburg for £430k - maybe.

Good news. Effectively Collins replaces him.

Good luck to the lad buying striker's is a lottery, like most clubs you o get stung a few times.

For balance I suppose we had a bargain in Zohore and Moore .

Re: Glatzel to Hamburg for £430k - maybe.

Seems crazy to accept that fee

He scored some tidy goals for us

I just cannot understand how anyone can say this.

He was never good enough despite always giving everything.

So getting anything for him is a good deal.

What a huge waste of money for a player who was clearly never good enough and yet people still wanted to give another chance to 🤷*♂️

(then again some people even rated that one ‘assist’ from Madine!)

Re: ROBERT GLATZEL - Completed transfer to Hamburg

Cut our losses. He's an honest player, works hard, doesn't hide and i was willing him on to do well. The fact is that he's not made for Championship football. So how can the club get around that if he doesn't possess any other traits (like pace, good movement, awareness in the box etc) that can over ride his inability to compete physically at this level? They can't is the simple answer. He isn't strong enough and doesn't have the ability to negate that weakness.

Exactly. Bang on.

That equaliser at Elland Road. Has to be up there with most memorable Cardiff goals. Link anyone?

Not really fair to compare him to madine
... Not that you did directly. He did show moments of talent and I think he can do a job somewhere. He wasted what, 10%? Of his career with us, and we wasted a chunk of tans money on him. Dave Jones could spot attacking quality and since then we've been clueless.

Goal highlights. Morrison sent off as well.

Good luck to him. Don't know if it was our club or this league but it didn't work more than it did.

Sure to start knocking them in now as will Cornelius against Wales.

Re: ROBERT GLATZEL - Completed transfer to Hamburg

Not impressed with his performance at City I always thought he would be better as a Hamburger.

Re: ROBERT GLATZEL - Completed transfer to Hamburg

There’ll be a charge in the club’s accounts for the year ended 31 May 2022, as follows:

Original fee: £5.5m
Contract length: 3 years
Annual charge to accounts: 5.5/3= £1.83m

So for the current year (the last one of his deal), it’ll be:
Annual charge: £1.83m
Less Transfer income: -£0.425m
Net charge: £1.405m

This is on top of the 2 x £1.83m charges that would be in previous years accounts, unless they bring forward the final year into the accounts for the year ended 31st May 2021 as a ‘post balance sheet event’.

Not a great bit of business, that.

Patently incorrect. Moore for a start.

Re: ROBERT GLATZEL - Completed transfer to Hamburg

Two years ago the market was totally different to now. At that time £5.5m for a striker was peanuts - £8m for Zohore for gods sake !. Also, a players maximum value is usually at the start of his contract, unless he scores 15-20 plus goals a season or plays out of his skin. Otherwise, approaching or in the final year of his contract, value will always drop. Its always easy being wise after the event and some people on here have turned this into an art form. In 12 months time Glatzel could leave for nothing, so getting £500k now is good business.

I doubt Cornelius will play against us.
