Yes, but it does rather make you look like someone who is trying to argue that Bundesliga 2 sides are full of mediocre Championship strikers who’ll score shedloads because all of the defenders they come up against are donkeys, but the midfielders are so good that an England under 21 international midfielder barely gets a kick - doesn’t really add up does it.
Why do we only have to consider players who've appeared for Cardiff or Hamburg? There are 17 other teams in Bundesliga 2 and 23 other teams in the Championship.
Weren't you arguing in another thread that Collins hadn't played enough games for us before he got injured to know how good he is?
Towards the end of his time here Glatzel was bullied off pretty much every ball.
I supported Glatzel but even I got tired of him towards the end as we simply didn't have the style of play to allow him to score in the only way he could.
Even if he was 'OK' in the air now, when was the last time we saw a decent cross.
We're crap, and we were crap then too.
You think Glatzel is crap and argue that his scoring rate of around six in every ten games is solely down to the poor defenders he comes up against, yet you can offer no explanation as to why a good quality Championship level midfielder couldn’t get a game in Glatzel’s team - why does this not represent an accurate summary of what you’ve said at various stages of this thread? Why not just accept that this subject is not as straightforward as the Glatzel is rubbish, end of argument line you’ve been peddling?
I have watched quite a bit of B2 for several seasons and I think it's comfortably on par with the championship on every level.
This exact debate was on here several months ago but why not have a bit of a Grundenhagen Day.
I don’t know of any other players who have featured in both leagues in recent times, but if you do then I bow to your greater knowledge.
As for Collins, my argument is that we hadn’t seen enough of him to declare him a top player by Championship standards, which some seem keen to do. However, I thought he looked easily good enough to play regularly in this division. Didn’t you?
