Cardiff City manager Mick McCarthy has confirmed Robert Glatzel will be placed on the transfer list this summer.
I doubt that we'll get much more than £1m for him in the current climate.
After announcing that he isnt your sort of player, I doubt we will get a fee for him at all now.
Another £6m down the drain.
Perhaps Warnock will sign him for Middlesbrough. They're losing a couple of strikers this summer.
I wonder if we'll be having the same debate regarding Watters in a season or two?Quote:
Some supporters believe the ability is there but that Cardiff simply did not play to his strengths, others believe he cannot cut it in the Championship.
Additionally, think our club needs to get better at building up players to the press while quietly seeing who is interested. So far we've gone with: "we don't like this player so we'll ensure we receive as little money as possible for them no matter what their ability."
Nice one neil....apart from Reid who he never played and sold almost immediately, did we get any good deals from mr Warnock?Quote:

Why does the we dont play to his strengths keep getting mentioned.
He doesnt really have strengths. Hes ok at a few things, tries thats it.
Hoillet , Bamba , Etheridge , NML .Quote:

That’s Glatzel shirt sales destroyed, then...
You don't usually hear such brutal honesty.
He did ok on parts, mostly he didn't seem to have it like so many of the strikers we have signed over the years.
Along with the excellent Junior both very good , the others of note were Etherdige ,NML ,Pato , Smithies, Camarasa,Decordova-Reid , Murphy,Grujic,TomlinQuote:

Compare that to the records of other Cardiff strikers in recent years such as Gary Madine, Omar Bogle, Oumar Niasse, Fred Gounongbe and Rickie Lambert, who managed a grand total of 8 goals between them.
Mainz have improved significantly since Glatzel arrived there. They were 17th, 7 points adrift in the relegation zone and looking doomed when he signed, but they're 13th and 5 points above the drop zone now. It's been quite a turnaround. He's obviously not solely responsible for that, but I watch their highlights regularly (I've been keeping an eye on the Bundesliga relegation battle as I sort of follow Hertha Berlin) and he's been playing his part.
He never looked suited to the role he was expected to play here - his game is simply not physical enough. He's by no means a terrible player though, so a German club in Bundesliga 2 or a club in another European league might pay a few quid for him.
Man is a genius , no spring chicken now , must have huge drive , I know folk to dislike him however I cant help admire him , did enjoy the against the odds promotion year with him immensely , seems to deliver at club after club, wont take you to long term greatness but will steady the ship and progress you if your in the doldrums .Quote:

Best case scenario was that he did well at Mainz, and he has. I'd be surprised if we didn't stay, or at least go back to Germany.Quote:

Moore is a perfect Championship striker Glatzel simply isn't.
I do hope he has success elsewhere though as he has skills.
Why do I feel like he’s going to end up at a rival and score against us!
Few too many on a Friday.😂Quote:

He won't get a transfer to a Championship club.Quote:

Whilst he did score one or two well struck goals, I felt he scuffed too many chances that did come his way.
His work outside the penalty box was poor, he took too many touches to get the ball under control and wasn’t strong enough for someone of his size.
Seemed like a decent guy though and I wish him well. I think Micks blunt response is uncalled for, it’s not like the guy caused any issues here.
I think it goes a little beyond your usual "coach-speak". If he'd just said that "in training he's a good finisher" , then fair enough. But to suggest that Glatzel is the best finisher he's ever worked with is, as I suspect, complete nonsense, or it's a sad indictment of all the other strikers he has ever worked with previously.Quote:

Ideally we need both their current clubs to take them. But makes you wonder if they arent getting selected.
Hoillett, Bamba, NML.....Quote:

A truly appalling manger who guided City into the play-offs last season and who signed the likes of Kieffer Moore, Perry Ng and Dillon Phillips for very reasonable fees.Quote:
