Troy's been worth the wait
           
           



  DARREN Ward has praised Troy Archibald-Henville’s perseverance in getting himself back to full fitness after recurring knee problems, saying Swindon Town can only benefit from his return.

Agree. Troy's streets ahead of anything else we have at centre half.

I assume, as he is a Di Canio signing, that he is earning a truck load of money and that he's only still here because he's been injured. With those things in mind, I also assume he will be gone in the summer.

Correct assumptions would you say?

I think he'll pick up an injury over the course of the next few games and be out for the season or he'll be dropped as soon as Hall returns

Afraid so. I was sceptical about Troy just sitting on his arse taking a large wage each week but he has come back well from some bad injuries and has really impressed me. He is not scared of putting his head in where it hurts and is very good with the ball at feet. He's almost been like a new signing. Sadly I think there is no chance we'll be in a position to keep him and with Ward probably too old after this season, will need 2 or 3 new Centre Backs in the summer.

It would be interesting to see if he could be a 'durable' long term partner for Branco. That would be the only way I could see that the club might be willing to pay a bit of extra cash. But I doubt it.

The next best most likely scenario would be for him to sign a new contract and then move on for big bucks once he has shown he is over his injury nightmare.

Don't forget that we are the poorest club in the country and definitely can't afford to pay Exeter 20K when he hits another 20(?) games anyway.

We are going to need a whole new squad this summer. And I think that's gonna be the case most close seasons, until someone pumps some serious dollar in or by some miracle we manage to find a new form of revenue.

Gonna be even harder if our fans keep throwing their toys out of the pram every time we don't win.

That is possibly why we are insisting that clubs taking our players on loan pay the whole fee upfront rather than at the end of the loan, which is more the norm.

So he's now our next best superstar that we'll be devastated to see leave over the summer, having been a booty-obsessed waster who didn't care about the club and was just sat on his ass picking up a huge wage a few weeks ago. Fickle, much?

He was. But since he has come back he has been better than everyone thought - No ? That's not necessarily fickle is it? If it is then, unless people are totally intransigent then they are all fickle.

I doubt we can ship him out even if we tried tbh. I sure I read before he has similar problems as to Ledley King had and can only train so often.
He''ll be here next season, probably in the treatment room or foxies.
But flair play to him, his last few games he's been a monster.

Changing your mind based on available evidence is fickle now? Ok.
