Against Palace's premiership centre backs he was unplayable, if after his ops he could get close to that form (and accept this is unknown) he would be a tremendous asset. What’s the source of the stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know exactly what I was saying, it’s completely possible to use a big arguably cumbersome targetman whilst largely utilising a passing style.

redsquirrel Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I like him but probably not for the right reasons. when I saw him play,i thought it was brilliant to see one of our players standing firm not getting pushed off the ball.exactly the type we need when our forwards are getting battered. wilbs was similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Duric scored at a rate of about 1 goal every 135 minutes last season (roughly) which is 2 goals every three games. That's a phenomenal strike rate for a guy who was often injured and usually came on towards the end of games. If we get offered decent money for him, then fair enough. But we'll be losing a player who (if we can keep fit) could be a big contributor next season. Of course, if he's not happy with a subs role then fair enough and I'll wish him well, but we'll be losing a good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 20 hours ago, Negan said: Can remember when we signed him Cesena wanted us to take him on loan from jan to the end of the season with an option to but we decided to splash 1.5 million on him. How much will we be losing now? No doubt a talent but again more money wasted... 4 million on Gustav and Djuric, will we see even a million back? Crazy numbers when you look at it... We spent 3 million on them both, not 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_95 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I think what some people fail to see is that having someone who doesn’t fit your style of play is quite often a good thing, If you’re playing a team with 10 men behind the ball stifling every attack, you need that different dimension to switch things up. If passing/possession football isn’t working you need that different dimension to revert to, and that’s what Djuric gives us, and it’s worked a few times for us!

I think that's less and less the case in the modern game. Take the current England team as an example. They have faced teams with a variety of tactics but struck to their way of playing, including against a Tunisia team who packed the defence in the second half, and it has delivered. Gone are the days when England would have brought on a big man and pumped high balls towards him. Provided you have options on the bench who fit your style of play you can change personnel to freshen things up without changing your way of playing - again as England did against Tunisia. It seems to me that for the best teams plan B is often to double down on plan A! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got him put right as regards a longstanding injury and it's this year that we should see the benefits. We did the same for GON it's a bit exasperating . If this is true I can only imagine City are preparing the way for a big money signing ( Marriott ? ) or we are in for a completely different style of play next season. Are City bringing in McGoldrick to replace Djuric ? Hope not more injury prone than Duric I think he puts in a shift when he plays and has turned a few games in our favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have a virtually brand new starting eleven at this rate! I'm not going to be popular for saying it but the way our season imploded in the league maybe that would not entirely be a bad thing, not all the players were at fault but an injection of new blood could be just what we need.

Wade Wilson Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I’d love to see him stay, i’m a big (heh) fan of the lad. He’s our Andy Carroll and I’ve always got room for an Andy Carroll, it’s never gonna be a bad thing to have a massive striker to bring on and just disorient defences and smash them about a bit. His record for us is pretty decent, but even if it wasn’t he’s still doing the “Heskey” job. I can see him leaving though, we seem to be clearing out a lot and I have to imagine he was signed on Mags’ recommendation. There’s not much money kicking around in Serie B so if he does go, I don’t think we’re getting our money back. Might as well keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 My judgement is that Milan is an honourable sort of bloke.. The type of bloke to appreciate all the care we gave him last season. Steve Allen got him playing again and you could see Milan's gratitude when he got his comeback goal. He's got a lot of unfinished stuff all bound up with Bristol City and as had been said he is the perfect impact player. So the only reason he might leave is if he's given the wrong messages by our staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hard working physical threat from set pieces. Regularly injured cost over a million and will always be a bit part player. Another European signing which has proven to be a disappointment....not the disaster of Engvall. Please, let's focus on quality English talent. Djuric. Thanks for the service. But time to go.
