What's that coming over the hill?

Not Luigi Glombard, who on Saturday was horribly reminiscent of Andy Campbell. I don't get it. This is his big chance. Chopra out for one game, so Glombard has a chance. What has he got to lose? Not a thing - if he tries. What does he do? He hides. A cross coming his way.. where's Glombard? Hiding behind a defender. His reputation is that he is fast. But it would be hard to tell from that performance - he hardly ran, and when he did, he started his run far too late. And as reported accurately by Will Buckley in the Observer, he made the best through pass of the game - for Norwich, to Earnie: who should have really scored. I think he felt sorry for Neal Alexander. Glombard got taken off at half time, which was the right thing to do. But that is probably his career at Cardiff over: finished before it started.

Of course withy all the exciting news and the piles of money heading into Ninian Park (see Green Eggs and Hammam below) we'll have half a dozen new strikers by the end of January, and Glombard will be back in the French second division. I look forward to watching him next year at Montpelier.
