Glatzel doing well at Hamburg

Interesting to see another former city striker, Guido Bergstaller doing really well in the city of Hamburg too.

He went and scored 32 goals in 119 appearances in the Budesliga after leaving us.
Not too shabby a record tbh, considering how shite Schalke have been.

8 goals in 9 appearances for him so far this season for St Pauli in Bundesliga 2. That follows 11 goals in 22 appearances for them last term.

Burgstaller was a really curious signing. He's scored plenty of goals everywhere he's been except Cardiff, where he was barely given a chance. Signed by Ole, scored in his first full appearance (a League Cup game at Coventry), but effectively shelved after just one month of the 2014/15 campaign. Very odd.

Think I saw Burgstaller score in one of the two or three Under 23 matches he played for us - can't remember much about them now, except that his attitude always seemed pretty good to me given what he was going through here.

There were some very strange things going on at City when Burgstaller was here. In his own words, he was demoted to the reserves after just a month of the season had passed and then had his contract cancelled by mutual consent in January. He signed for Nuremberg, where he scored 16 goals in 20 Bundesliga2 appearances before moving to the top tier of German football with Schalke.

It seems all the more bizarre when you consider City had paid a fee for him and the likes of Alex Revell and Eoin Doyle were playing up front for City by the time the 2014/15 season ended.

Potentially contract conditions that appearances would trigger payment clauses?

Certainly a strange one but not the first nor last of that period

Burgstaller started just one game in the league and one in the cup. He also made three sub appearances. I can't imagine any appearances clauses were even close to being triggered with those figures.

This is Cardiff City. Anything is possible when it comes to finances
