Troy back at Spurs to play in their reserves!!!

Recommended Posts

This is a total and utter joke. Anyone read this, tucked away at the bottom of the post match article on the official site?

Apparently he''s gone back to play in their reserves but is still on loan with us. That was supposedly a question from the press - "Where''s Troy? Has he gone back to Spurs," yet they don''t appear to have followed up the answer with:

"WHAT THE F**K? Would you care to explain that Glen? Would you care to explain why on God''s earth you brought him here, why you''d rather play DRURY at centre back than him, and why we''re now PAYING SPURS for him to play in THEIR OWN RESERVES!???"

Apologies for the capitals but i''m just so angry about this. Well done archant for representing the public/your readers/the fans and asking what they want to know. Isn''t that supposed to be what the press are for? I want answers and an explanation on this.

I doubt thats true, when you sign a player on loan you pay some or all of the wages, why would Troy be the exception? Although to be fair to you mate, it would explain why he doesnt play wouldnt it?

Of course we''re still paying his wages WWWB. Why else would he still technically be on loan with us until Jan 1st? He''s not here, he''s not training with us, but the club say he''s still on loan with us. If the agreement is a loan period until Jan 1st, we can''t just cancel part way through and say sorry, here you go, we don''t want him.

It''s just as when loans get injured (Bentley, Bates) we still paid their wages. It''s a joke, a criminal waste of money, and makes a mockery of Roeder. I tend to agree with John - he doesn''t have a clue.

We don''t have a reserve team as such, although sometimes there are reserve games, but that''s rare.  lol we only just about have enough players for the 1st team, let alone a full reserves team.

Just because we have him on loan, doesn''t mean that we automatically have to pay some/all of his wages.  This shows by the fact that Glen hasn''t played him, he is clearly here just to gain experience of how a different club works.

Highly unlikely imo.

Indeed very unlikely

you probably have similar set up to us in we have no reserve team but then we arrange so called friendlies - which are for reserves, promising youth and the odd injury return?

troy is unlikely to be happy coming to norwich to sit around fiddling his thumbs i would thought he and spurs may have thought he would be more involved with the first team squad

Perhaps they''re a tiny bit scared of the irascible Glenda. He certainly can be somewhat fiery at times, and it seems as though it only takes the merest hint of criticism to spark him off into an angry tirade.

Why is he here, when we had no Center backs to play, and played Full-backs he wasnt even considerd, what is the piont.

I think Mr Roeder made a bad mistake but is unprepared to admit it. He doesn''t make mistakes you know! Oh no, only "nasty, classless" people would suggest such a thing.

Well spotted Jarroldstander - here''s the link to the story on our web site which mentions the signing-on fee. (Therefore I imagine we must be paying at least some/if not all of his wages too).

Clearly Troy was a transfer mistake by Glen. Don''t expect anyone at the club to admit though.

SPURS DEFENDER JOINS

Posted on: Fri 08 Aug 2008

SPURS central defender Troy Archibald-Henville, 19, has joined the Canaries on a season-long loan deal, subject to Football League ratification.

City have paid the London side an undisclosed loan fee to bring Newham-born Archibald-Henville to Carrow Road. He featured in the Spurs FA Youth Cup side of 2005 and was even more involved in the 2006-07 season when he made 18 appearances for the Spurs U18s, eight more at reserve level and was on the bench for the first team games against Wigan and Arsenal in late 2007.

Our understanding is that you paid a fee but that Tottenham are picking up his wages.

There were two problems.  The first is that while he was training with the first team he was not getting a game and such Reserve team fixtures as were available to give him a run out were pretty low key.

Players of this age have mentors from both clubs who are supposed to keep in touch on a weekly basis. He didn''t settle in Norwich away from all his friends and Tottenham decided they could offer him better quality Reserve games so invoked their right to ask for him back. Or, if you prefer, by "mutual consent."

Or, as they say in any business: "It''s not working out is it?"

You can ask for him back if you want him.

According to Roeder at the AGM last night, we''re paying his wages until January (see City Angel''s thread).

He did admit that he signed him on the sayso of someone at Spurs who thought he was ready for the Champ.

It sounds like a deal done down the pub, maybe the guy sold him some knockoff dvds at the same time.

And you have to think he took Koroma on loan in much the same way , how many times had he seen the lad play , Roeder sacked from every club he has managed and not that hard to see why .
