De Rosario back in form after nasty departure from TFC

Hutchinson: Results will build confidence

[Oldtimer]

The DeRo story just won't go away. At least something has now been set straight:


Other than saying he remains “very disappointed” with the way things unfolded in Toronto, De Rosario is reluctant to get into details of his dispute with the club’s brass. In the end, he said, he’d had enough of “the BSing” as the two sides couldn’t agree on re-writing his existing contract — paying him $493,750 (U.S.) this year — and asked for a trade.

TFC Captain DERO, leaves goes on goal spress.

TFC Captain M Santos leaves for Dalles, has a goal and assist in 2 games on the bounce.


notice a pattern here?

Pretty much the pattern for the last 5 years for most strikers/goal scorers we've had that left. :flare:

This always happens all over the world with players who leave their club. They feel refreshed and for a while they do very well until leveling off and continuing to play the way they always have.

Now lets be honest with ourseleves here, Dero has always been a great player, so there's no surprise that he is posting the numbers he is. If anyone thought he wouldn't do what he's doing now is delirious.
I'm not convinced on Maicon. He was good, but I don't think he'll be MLS superstar good.

We can look to Peri Marosevic and say the same thing for him. Guys been on the bench for two years - comes here and scored 2 goals in 5 games and has been a spark plug for the team.

Heck even Alan Gordan scored a few when he first got here - then the same ol injuries that plagued him his whole career started up again.

TFC Captain DERO, leaves goes on goal spress.


So, are you saying he never had any significant goal "sprees" while in Red?

DeRo, had the best output of his career in Red.

Alan Gordon had the best output of his career in Red.

I guess you'll "notice" what you are hoping to find.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

neither one of those dudes were doing terribly here either

Yes. They scored goals for TFC and now they're scoring elsewhere.

Can we go back to the Asian girls form last week please?

[v00d00daddy]

That dero article should be about the CMNT and beginning the qualifying campaign well on Friday.

Instead it's 90% TFC and 10% CMNT.

The writer took the CMNT training camp as an opportunity to stir the shit again with Dero and TFC.

It's pathetic.

[Roogsy]

It really shouldn't be unexpected. Dwayne hasn't played in Toronto since he left. I am sure some of the media have been wanting to get this initial "post-TFC" interview for a while. Hopefully it doesn't take over what should be a couple of days of CMNT coverage.

[Roogsy]

Funny enough, his focus right now is solely on the CMNT, so this TFC business is all drummed up drama.

No mention in that article of how Dwayne is paying out of his own pocket to send Canadian fans to the game in an effort to get more Canada fans in the stands. He bought the tickets himself. What other CMNT has done that?

That makes sense. It just seems so long since the dero trade and I think most people have moved on.

For what it's worth, he deserves credit for taking the high road and saying it's not the time to talk about it.

Dero vs. TFC is old news and bringing it up now (when there are way more important things to talk about with him. Ie CMNT) smacks of a writer just tryin to be controversial for the sake of readership.

[maninb]

Props to MeRo for buying the tickets to Friday game....

[TOBOR !]

FWIW it's been a good thing that The Return of DeRo has been delayed. It has provided time for emotions to settle. In the light of day I think we can all appreciate his contributions to the club and put the other nonsense behind us.

The post above yours, complete with the derogatory name for Dwayne De Rosario, proves otherwise unfortunately...

well good for him for doing that:canada:. the article seems to be the writer doing his best to try and get into it again, de ro gives the impression of not wanting to talk about it, but he just keeps on getting asked.

That's a great point. That easily could have been the focus of the article. Instead this writer is going for shock value.

And I for one won't get sucked into pointless arguments again. We all have feelings on DeRo as it pertains to TFC but now is the time to get behind the CMNT.

I plan on being there on Friday..and while I don't love the guy...I'll be cheering for him to help us win.

I think he was pointing out the timing of DeRo's goal scoring spree, likely not stating that DeRo had not had his best output with TFC. That's how I took the comment, you comprehend what you want hear in any statement I suppose.

[Jamaicanadian]

Europa League.

Thanks!

I've heard rumours before that CSA made players pay for flights and insurance.

Far cry for the big european countries that give them a decent chunk of change for each game. Anybody who consistently answers the call for Canada deserves to be commended.

[scooter]

did dero write a cheque for the tickets ?

[Pookie]

Just to be factual, the timing of his latest spree coincided with his time in DC, not NY.

Lots of players floundered here and went on to bigger things. DeRo excelled here on an individual basis and is doing the same in DC. Not really a good example if his point was to take a shot at Toronto as some kind of black hole of MLS soccer.

Make sure ya'll grab your tickets.

Yeah but De Ro's the reason why you get the blue screen of death on your computer. Clearly he's evil.

[Technorgasm]

I fucking LOVE DERO!
I will never not support him.
he is the best player we have ever fucking had, and that is a FACT.
He is a leader of our National side (second only to Hutch)

He deserved butter from TFC, and got the high hard shaft.
He waws treated like a cahve, when he should have been treated as our savior and talisman.

If I was him I would have left too, this SHOULD have been his home, his swan song to a brilliant career. .

FUckin love ya DERO. including when you score against TFC. As I am sure you will do, many times.

The CSA definitely compensates players for national team fixtures. In the spring, the women were upset because they were getting significantly less then the men.
