Gimme Shelton Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Saw Matty Taylor on Sat, he's tiny! Btw has anybody noticed how you never see him and David in Corrie in the same room! Footballers always look smaller in real life, in the old days Dave Rodgers looked huge on the pitch but was a skinny looking chap off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have never seen a player for us win so much of the ball in the air. He's useful enough with the ball at feet too. I honestly think (with the caveat of him staying fit) that he could be an excellent signing for us and we will end up considering the fee for him to be an absolute steal.

Unless you’re built like Mo Farah, Djuric looks slender with long limbs rather than powerfully built. As a bloke who is 6'4" I'd say it would be pretty easy for Djuric to be knocking on 100kg. In my mid 20s I did a lot of martial arts and cycling - lots of leg work but not much upper body stuff. I got up to 98kg at my peak (about 10kg more than I am now). From that picture I would say that I am of a similar build to Djuric. I am by no means "heavily built" and find it pretty tough to pack on any muscle. As further anecdotal evidence I have two mates who are Djuric's height, both are 95kg plus and that's without the life and diet of a pro athlete in the prime of his life. I love seeing guys like Djuric and Flint play...even if they, like me, turn like an oil tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d like to see him have a run in the side with Bobby and as we have an international break coming up, it gives him another chance to get fully fit. We need warriors and Milan is just that. Wouldn't describe him as skinny,more the wiry type-and they can be the really tough 'uns........as you say,the 'break comes for him at a good time.

Marlborough Red Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Love that we use metric for weight height and imperial for height in this thread.! Duric is 100 kilos and 6 feet 7 inches Nobody I know says their weight in kilos ,always stones and lbs. EG New babies weight always in lbs and ounces .Height always in feet and inches .Nobody says I'm 1.8288 metres , they say I'm 6 foot! Duric therefore is 15stone 12 lbs and 6 feet 7inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 He is tall. That's it. Not the shit football I like to watch. I'm willing to pay 20 pence for a long ball in to the box and some tall donkey stoping it home. It's shit and it's not the beauty of the game.

bristolcitysweden Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 The easy option is of course to go long. Zero constructive play in the final third for 70 min you get desperate. Shop it long on Big Bertha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seeing guys like Djuric and Flint play...even if they, like me, turn like an oil tanker. I’ve worked in and studied personal training and have a good knowledge, I’d say with confidence that he’s not 100kg just by sight. Being 6ft 7” he’ll be strong, of course. Put it this way - Deontay Wilder is listed at slightly heavier at 103kg and is the same height. The comparative difference in their physical appearance makes it obvious Djuric is nowhere near that weight. It’s a valid comparison because as they’re both pro athletes they’ll both probably have single digit % bodyfat. I’m digressing here but I really like him. Great option to have and hopefully now his injuries are sorted we’ll see the best of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the CHSW quiz last season we had to put the following players in height order (tallest to smallest): Flint, Hegeler, Djúric, Giefer and Wilbraham. Djuric at 6’7" was the tallest, then Flint, either Hegeler or Giefer next, followed by short-arse Wilbs. I think Djúric has slim legs, but is quite thick set from his arse upwards. It might be the fact that he needs huge shorts that make his legs look slimmer than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best goal I ever saw, Swede, was a long (looping) ball into the box and some tall Dutch bloke stoping it home. 1988 in Munchen. Think Djuric would be better off heading that one, mind, rather than volleying it - or stoping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 It was interesting in his interview last week that he said he was still only 70% fit and for the first time in years he was playing with no pain. He will have a big part to play in the next eight games for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen him put Flint up top in some games just to give a different physical presence and he must be as delighted as we are with having Djuric available again. "another club in the bag' as he says. Yet when his Dad talked the same way he was just a "Conference Manager"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m aware it’s a picture from a few months ago, but gaining much noticeable muscle and strength takes a lot longer than a few months. Especially when you factor in that players are basically endurance athletes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
