WECANDO Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Simple queston for a bit of debate. Personally, I'd support Djuric for his all round better control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extonsred Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Would love to have seen more of Djuric. At least a decent run of games. How's he getting on now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire robin Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Djuric too , was never given a run of games under Johnson proved in a few games what a player he was including the palace cup game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Stupid question. A striker who was average or a player who won player of the year. Ummm give me a sec.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Different types of player. Never seen anyone boss Sol Bamba like Milan did. Injuries make it difficult to judge how good he was or not. Would be interested to know what the plan was when he signed and then when we signed Fam.

pongo88 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I liked Djuric but thought he was as a strange signing. I guess he was “another club in the bag” signing. He didn’t have a great scoring record at City, or any of the other teams he played for, but he contributed in other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also completely discounting that Djuric had a truly awful availability record. I have no idea how good (or not) the standard in the Italian second division is, but I’ll bet good money it is far less intense & that is where he has played all his football since leaving us. Famara has been poor of late & he may well be leaving this summer but this is a random comparison. If he hadn’t been such a disaster it would be Gustav Engvall next.

JoeAman08 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Think its pretty disrespectful to Famara to even have the thread let alone say Djuric was better. Whatever happens these last 9 games or so, the guy goes down as a success for Bristol City imo. He has been fighting the “record signing” label his entire stint here. Truth is 5m for what he has given in 4 years is a steal. As for Djuric, I liked him. That said he didn’t score near as much as Famara. Not sure he linked up play as well as FD can. He wasn’t available nearly as much and certainly looked like he’d struggle with 90 minutes of championship football. Fam gets into a very talented Senegal side from time to time while Djuric can’t make the Bosnian side. It isn’t up for debate who is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djuric was by far the better player, in terms of physical presence, touch, ability, mobility, control, awareness, passing etc etc - but it is entertaining when posters like @And Its Smithweigh in to basically trash Djuric with pretty much zero stuff to back up it - especially when he or she can’t even include an apostrophe in the correct place in their username - “it’s Smith” - it was so easy to get it right!

I prefer not to answer, because I don’t think I saw enough of Djuric for me to judge. I’ve seen good stuff from Fam in his time here too. I saw encouraging things from Djuric, but he played the equivalent of 14 games. I would’ve only been him in home games. He started his first 5 games when signing, then managed to start 2 consecutive games only once afterwards. So, I’ll just sit in the “don’t know” camp.

marcofisher Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Djuric spent his whole career pretty much at Serie B level apart from one pretty insignificant season in Serie A for a smaller club and a short stint with us before returning to Serie B and never progressing further from there. In the many seasons at Serie B, he has only scored more than 10 goals on one occasion. That’s why he is now playing for an Italian club that most of us had never heard of before he signed for them. Lets not pretend he was something better than he is. Famara has offered far more in his career in general and at Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 How can anyone make up their mind on Djuric from a handful of games. He had some potential and promise but was always injured so I've no idea if he could have been better than Fammy. Fammy has done in week in week out for the last 3 or 4 years so must go with Fammy on that basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Love them both tbh. My two favourite strikers of the past 5 years. Fam has the records, the longevity, the personality, Djuric has the "what if" and the potential. Two very different men but both have played well for us in their own way. Right now. Right now I'd probably have Djuric as a foil for Wells, rather than a Fam who (and it pains me to say this) has checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Djuric didn’t play enough to be anywhere near considered up against Fam (and I’m not a huge fan of Fam). If he didn’t have a snazzy name, he’d be down with the likes of Steve Torpey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOODSY1111 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Only player i can remember us possibly comparing Fam to is Akinbiyi, Djuric very much like Torpey and both have the same lengthy time out with injuries. For the record I’d take Akinbiyi over Fam all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t bother me either way whether we agree on Djuric v Diedhiou. It’s so clear that Diedhiou is better but not going to argue about it as what’s the point. I probably shouldn’t have commented without expanding but honestly didn’t think anyone would think it worthy of debate. Sorry on my username. Think you’ve mentioned it before. I rely on autocorrect due to dyslexia and it puts in things like apostrophes for me most of the time as I struggle with it. On the username it didn’t work. Someone highlighted it to me soon after, think maybe you, and I tried to change it but for some reason it won’t let me. Hopefully you don’t feel the need to mention it again.
