We investigate two aspects of the Glauber model for $\mathrm{}(p,d)\mathrm{}$ transfer reactions on nuclei. The first one is connected with the violation of angular momentum conservation at the transition vertex inherent to straight line propagation. This can be cured by introducing a different impact parameter in the entrance and exit channels. We give an estimate of this effect in the case of $\mathrm{}(p,d)\mathrm{}$ reactions on ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}$. Second, the formalism is applied to single neutron halo nuclei. We study the sensitivity of the $\mathrm{}(p,d)\mathrm{}$ cross sections to the radial dependence of the halo wave function and to its rms radius.
