Robert Glatzel Speaks:

ROBERT GLATZEL:

"I like the style of play, intense runs and aggressive pressing, that Mainz embodies suits my strengths.

"I will try to stay up in the league with everything I have to offer and to fight every minute for the team and our common goal in training and on the pitch. "





Sporting director Martin Schmidt said: "Robert is a classic centre forward who, with his strong trait towards goal and as a target player, optimally complements our squad and will therefore become immensely valuable for our team.

"With a lot of experience from the second division in England and Germany, he is now dying to get into the Bundesliga.

"We got to know Robert as a totally positive, open-minded guy who will also be wonderfully involved in the team off the pitch."

The striker will certainly be keen to hit the ground running there and prove what he can really do.

So basically he likes everything we don’t do!

Can’t see him coming back end of season... Best of luck!

I can't say I blame him. Playing our style of football doesn't suit a footballer

Unfortunately this.

Hopefully he smashes it and we can recoup some of our money.

Not sure he was cut out for how physical the league is and he's definitely not suited to play in this team. Not a target man and is better with the ball played to feet.

Mainz have scored 18 goals in 19 Bundesliga games and are fighting relegation. If he scores lots of goals there then we need to get him back!
