shurlock Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 He's not a striker though. And not a back-up/replacement for Pelle, which is what a fair few of us think would be useful. It is interesting if we do sign him; Iknow a fair few like to be critical of Pelle's finishing, but I don't think its too bad and its been our creativity that has let us down at times, particularly recently, this bloke looks more of a solution to that problem. Cheaper wages than Ramirez, but a similar player? Agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redslo Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 (edited) Thanks, looks awesome think I might sign him for Telford who I've just won the world club cup with for the 8th season in a row. He is not good enough for your Telford. Also, wouldn't he be too old by then. Edited 28 January, 2015 by Redslo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feyenoord1908 Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 To all those who think Djuricic is a forward > He's not! He is a midfielder who can also play as a playmaker from the left wing and coming inside to his right foot. He's very lightweight, not very quick but a very good technique and very creative. You can compare him to a younger and immature version of Tadic. Tadic is better from the wing and Djuricic is better in the middle. He's competition for James Ward-Prowse. 2014/2015 FSV Mainz 05 11 0 Bundesliga 2013/2014 Benfica 11 0 Primeira Liga 2012/2013 SC Heerenveen 32 7 Eredivisie 2011/2012 SC Heerenveen 34 10 Eredivisie 2010/2011 SC Heerenveen 24 2 Eredivisie 2009/2010 SC Heerenveen 9 1 Eredivisie 2008/2009 Radnički Obrenovac 17 0 Srpska Liga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has a lot of quality. I haven't seen him this season in Germany so I don't know how he's done there. He definitely needs to grow physically to compete in the Premier League and if he does that, he can be a really, really good player. He offers something different in the centre of the park that Saints are missing now. Djuricic behind Pelle and Elia/Mane and Tadic on the wing against the weaker teams and in home games is very nice.

The Cat Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 Can't shoot, too lightweight, cuts in from the left on his right foot but has decent skill and technique. Sounds just like a chap we sold to Liverpool for over £20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 A peculiar signing if true - sounds quite similar to Ramirez in ability? In the first half of the season Koeman clearly wanted his creativity to come from out wide, and we definitely played that way, and we have Mane, Elia, and Tadic already competing for two roles. I know Long is out for 6 weeks but a backup to Pelle would be preferable. Am sure there is a plan somewhere but just surprised to us go after a player like this - if indeed it is true.

Coxford_lou Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 I haven't scored in the last 12 months either. And I'm available. And cheap. Really? Oh dear.

egg Posted 28 January, 2015 Share Posted 28 January, 2015 Anyone know what his recent form and scoring records are like? The stats on the Mainz os don't suggest he's in great form. 11 appearances, 477 minutes played, 0 assists, 0 goals, 3 shots on target. 75% pass completion is the highlight. His pedigree looks good though. May be a confidence player - a change of surroundings and management may be what he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even during his 'peak' form at SC Heerenveen he scored 20 goals in 99 appearances, just under 1 goal in 5 matches. Long was doubted when he joined as his record was c 1 in 4. If we do sign this Durex fella, then it won't be for his scoring record alone. Looks a decent prospect - albeit on youtube - and I'll bow to Feyenoord's knowledge of him, but he is not going to be a stand in for Pelle if we're looking for a like for like. Oh no - another player who wants to walk the ball into the back of the net FFS! When will we sign a striker who can drill a decent shot from 20 yards and make the keeper work for a change?
