I see that Cardiff have signed Robert Glatzel from Heidenheim. I don’t think he’s worth £5.5 million because his strike partner Nikola Dovedan moved to Nürnberg for only £2.25 million but I think we should have been looking at Glatzel as an option.
As someone who watches the German 2nd division as much as possible (it is my favourite league), I saw him play at times last season in the league when Heidenheim were on BT Sport against Hamburg and Köln and also in the DFB Pokal, and even though he’s 6 foot 4, he’s not just a big lump upfront. He has good movement, leads the line well and makes intelligent runs to open up space. He scored 17 goals in 29 matches last season in all competitions which is a good record and 13 of those goals came in the league as Heidenheim finished in 5th.
If you ignore the price, which I think is too much, Cardiff have a good player with potential on their hands. If we are able to sign Ajeti though, we’ll have made the better deal.
Slick, I don’t know why Colak hasn’t found a club since February. It is rather strange unless the Saudi club that he left had a clause saying that he couldn’t sign for anyone within a certain amount of time.
