Milan Djuric. Silence?

Last info issued was that he was seeing a specialist in Italy and if I remember correctly, it was mentioned that there was a small problem with the alignment of one of the muscles that form the groin. Any imbalance will, from what I've read on this subject, lead to movement problems.

So perhaps some more surgery to tweak things or just physical work in the gym. Patience needed all round?

To be fair, he seems to have played 30 games most seasons. I'm not yet convinced as to whether he is injury prone or has been unlucky this year...

LJ has spoken about both of them in the last week or so. Djuric is recovering in Italy with a specialist, making sure his muscle strength is right before returning to training; O'Neil is back running on the grass now.

I had forgotten Gary O' Neill still played for us! He might be useful once he is back and fit.

Write him off?

He's been extremely effective when he has played. Even if he was limited to sub appearances or a Ledley King style one game a week regime, he's a unique option that coule be of great benefit to us.

With the greatest respect to Djuric, even though I rate him and think he's a great option to have.

With Diedhiou coming back, there probably isn't such a rush to get Djuric back asap.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Nmecha sign on loan. Give us 4 strikers competing and the others loaned except Djuric.

Djuric is a good player...get him fully fit and he'll be a real asset.

Now think of the Man City away leg...last 15 mins, increasingly under the cosh. Put Djuric on, not so much to go for the goal but to hold the ball up higher up the pitch, give some respite to the defence plus of course give Mangala and Stones something different to handle! More than that attacking potential though, Djuric holding it up and say O'Dowda to run at defence, would have given us scope to get up the pitch even a few yards and not be quite so deep...that could have seen us over the line to a draw that kinda tweak- had it been available!

So yeah, he could be very valuable for us.

On another note, our medium-long term injuries are and have been ridiculous this season!!

I think this is why they're giving him more time, LJ probably knew we were likely to sign another striker also. As someone else mentioned he wasn't injury prone before he joined us. If we can get him properly fit he could still be the best option we have, he has been outstanding in some games, eg Cardiff home game and turned the game at Sunderland when he came on. His poorer performances have generally when we've played him carrying an injujry.

I haven't repeated you.

You: "perhaps one to write off"

Me: "You're a clown"

Clearer?

Most of your post was a repeat of mine.I just suggested City might not what him if he continues to be injured. What an incredibly clownish thing to say!  The club supposedly want injury prone players then I guess!

You did say ‘write him off sooner or later’ to be fair...

It seems hell will have to freeze over before the OP posts anything remotely positive about BCFC.

In the meantime, and to repeat what is already in the public domain, Djuric has been sent to see a specialist in Italy to make sure that, following surgery to both groins, everything is as it should be. As this was announced only last week, anyone with half a brain and a modicum of patience should be able to work out that Djuric won't be up and running just yet, that given his injury history his latest recovery is most likely being handled conservatively, and that the return to fitness of Diedhiou and signing of another striker means we can afford to give Djuric time in the hope he'll be fighting fit for the final run-in.

No news can sometimes be good news, after all.

He averaged 24 games a season before joining us with his groin injury - it's been the same injury that has hampered him and our medical staff said that they only recently found out what was wrong hence the surgery. Hopefully when recovered we will see what he can do.

I think he came to us with an injury, wasn’t diagnosed fully / properly, went under the knife in the summer, hoping it would sort it, only to find the compensation he’d been doing to the other side of his groin, meant that needed sorting too.  I suspect a Steve Allen was hoping that sorting one side would be ok, but it wan’t.  Now he has had both sides done, they are worried that the imbalance in his muscle strength could cause problems, so they want to get him 100%.  I had a very similar if not the same (Gilmour’s groin - and it wasn’t "happy") as Djúric - but I had both sides repaired in one op.  I carried on playing from initial groin injury on one side, playing less minutes each week because it hurt, before the specialist basically told me that I was knackering the other side each week I played...hence both sides done.

Yep, and now with Loïs "The Bull" Diony here, we can be patient....as per @Merrick's Marvels post.

Gregormcnobface has just said Djuric needs to step his game up when he's fit in his live web chat. Given he's been playing with one leg I think he's been excellent. I refuse to post the link to the site

Surely in the interests of consistency he should be called NobfaceMcNobface?

' both groins ' ? 

If he can't get fit for football a career in pornography surely awaits.#specialistsites

I fail to see how he fits into our high tempo game truth be told. Good player wise head good organiser but I just fail to see how he gets into the team unless there is a horrific Injury crisis in midfield.

I think Djuric has just been hampered by the same problem and it was never effectively dealt with. Hardly injury prone! Hopefully we take the time to get him right physically. He will be huge for us then..... literally.

 

Sorry, just seen that someone else has said the same above. I agree with what they said :yes:

I dont think that is correct.  He picked up an injury.  That required surgery. Long rehab. Once completed, it was always the case he needed a smaller surgery to balance his body.  He was brought back once deemed fit because we had an injury crisis up front.  It was never the plan to play him at all between surgery's but needs must.

The second surgery has now been done and he is in Italy recovering.  He as 24 hour round the clock treatment - LJ's words.

The way LJ talks about him he will be here for a long time.  He is defiantly worth the investment for surgeries and rehab.  French striker brought in on loan till the end of the season to cover.

I wouldn't expect to see Durjic until late April or May if at all this season.

But I dont think he is going anywhere reading between the lines.

Didn't I read somewhere that Duric has suffered with groin problems for a long time and the surgery is designed to address the problem once and for all?

If so, and the op works as designed, then he might not be one to write off at all.

If he has indeed had Gilmore’s Groin, then the repair should sort it once and for all.

Not NobfaceyMcNobfaceface then?

We’d better toe the line and just call him “Sir Richard Attenborough”.

Actually, I bet he’s spent quite a lot of time in Bristol...
