[Official] DeRo to TFC

[werewolf]

Can we petition the government to make Dec 12th "Dwayne DeRosario Day" or "3-D" for slang purposes.

[Red CB Toronto]

This is a huge deal, what a player for Toronto to get especially a hometown guy, it is very exciting. Bring on the 2009 season.

[FluSH]

Jimmy B, Dichio, Guevara, Rickkets, and DeRo


:party:

Is this love?


iMBDYOVYZRQ

[King Tut]

I'd love to see this line up:

-----------------Sutton------------------
Wynne------Marshall---Brennan------Smith
-----------------Robinson----------------
Ricketts-------------------------De Rosario
-----------------Guevara------------------
---Dichio/Barrett--------------DP Striker---

De-Ro wouldn't be just a winger, but would drift into the middle sometimes, takes shots and supply passes to oncoming midfielders and forwards.........

[H Bomb]

His name is Dero

pACeOkTESVY

[tfc]

^^^ Smith is a foward/Mid ...

[Nuvinho]

I am still in shock!!!

[Oblio2]

NOW...I have a name for the back of my Jersey!
Scarboro fucking represent!!!!!

Oh...and to the guys who hung the banners saying "Mo must Go" at the end of the season.....
Feel free to go back and say sorry....

Mo, Bent Houston over and dry fisted them!!!!!!



HA HA HA HA

[Oblio2]

Now...lets work on our defence and get a good striker...and then, its happy days!

[Super]

I'm very, very happy, and very, very impressed. I hoped for this news, but honestly did not think it would happen for another couple of years. Thumbs up to TFC management for getting this done. We may be good supporters, but we're also a demanding bunch to have to deal with -- but when we're happy and appreciative we do show it. Thank you!!!

[mlsintoronto]

Oh...and to the guys who hung the banners saying "Mo must Go" at the end of the season.....

.........um....Sorry.

[CretanBull]

I think this might be the end of Guevara in Toronto, but oh well....

[EastYork]

WOW! Thats all I have to say.

[Ageroo]

So happy I had to change the avatar........Travis you bastard...you beat me to it!

[Oblio2]

Bahhhahhahahha

Thanks Paul.

Here's a summary of our boy's early work.....

Well Mo, thank you very much, I guess we should have got you something...Merry Christmas!!

[Boris]

.........um....Sorry.

you have been awesome today
:rofl:

[dag]

I just got home from work...and I'm FLABBERGASTED at this news.

Soooooooooo glad I bought my season ticket for 2009.

[Northern Soul]

Wow. Just wow. This is GREAT! WOO HOO!

[Ageroo]

As I posted in the other thread by the Kingpin.......we locked up one....now time for the other.....

GET IT DONE MO!

[icecoldbeer]

^^sweetness! thanks!

[deltox]

this is from Dichios blog:

"......Personally i think this is a great move for the club and shows where we want to go this year. I’ve met the guy a couple of times this year and i know its his hometown, but he spoke about his desire to come and play for TFC which impressed me. Big plus as well is that he is a canadian boy which gives the team added authenticity."

[ManUtd4ever]

Most excellent news indeed! It's been a long time coming. DeRo instantly upgrades TFC's midfield to an elite level within the league ranks. Julius James has a bright future ahead of him, but given DeRo's added value to Toronto fans in particular, the price was more than reasonable. Well done Mo!

:canada:

[pekduck]

DERO!!!!!

okay.. i'm excited...

Mo and few other folks were on a flight last night leaving Toronto to Dallas to scout NCAA players (courtesy of yellowfellow who ambushed Mo in GTAA, lol)

[jloome]

We're two pieces away now: one good CB and a striker. Damn, awesome news. Just awesome.

Anyone want to harp about what an utter failure our front office is? Giambac? Bhoy Bobby? Anyone?

[Roogsy]

The Mo haters have been quiet the last few weeks waiting for the first mistake to pounce on it...instead he comes through with the biggest signing since Jimmy B!

[Marco2K]

Biggest signing since Jimmy B.. Now thats funny.



I am so happy

[Roogsy]

Dunno what that means and dont care...today is a good day.

[rocker]

Anyone want to harp about what an utter failure our front office is? Giambac? Bhoy Bobby? Anyone?

are these guys still on the board? I blocked em both ages ago!

can't wait to see DeRo in T.O.! He looked great at the all-star game on our pitch... workin hard for his home fans.

[tlear]

I don't think Guevara is going anywhere, now get us a DP central defender and another depth defender and perhaps trade up to get #1 draft pick(for another young striker) and we are good to go.. then fill up the roster with more depth.. 2009 is going to be something!

[TFC OZZ]

Holy Mutherfucking Derooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dirk Diggler]

This was a great surprise and I could not be happier that we were able to acquire him for very little. Personally, I would be fine with getting rid of Guevera now. It would free up some cap space that we can utilize for a CB and a striker (or two).

[Roogsy]

We asked for him...we got him.

If I saw Mo on the street I would kiss him on his big red head!

[Red Patch CA]

All good things come from Scarberia.:D

[Soods]

If I saw Mo on the street I would kiss him on his big red head!


I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means!!! :D

[TFC_Toon]

This is delightful news, welcome home DeRo! It's an early Christmas gift for the support as well!

:canada:

[Ageroo]

All good things come from Scarberia.:D

haha...don't get ridiculous now......:)

Although with DeRo they just might!

[Nuvinho]

just watching some clips of DeRo. With his runs and Guevara's passes......damn!!!

it doesn't say BMO... but OMB!

[Redcoe15]

hahahah

it doesn't say BMO... but OMB!
Oh My Boobies! :D

[Cashcleaner]

Okay okay okay...Breath, Cash. breath.

I just got the word from AM 680 and ran into the house just now to get some details, ironically after coming back from BMO Field downtown. Things are a little hazy, I remember hearing the annoucement on the radio and after that its been a blur.

Did we spend a DP allocation on him? If we did, are we still considering using another one for an international player?

This is incredible news, no doubt. My only hope is that we didn't use a DP allocation on him and if we did, we'll go and use another one for someone else later.

[Nuvinho]

No DP status, gave him the max non-dp contract (400K).

[Dinodoc]

Cash - Julius James and about 150k in allocation for Dero from Houston, he will resign for Toronto for League Maximum, so no it will not use a DP spot.

ie what he /\ said :)

[Cashcleaner]

Thanks for the info guys!

[TFCREDNWHITE]

AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is *u*king AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna give to the wife real good tonight!!

best news in a looong time. this made my day, my week, my year

... *watching all the facebook updates that say OMG DERO* :D

[Daveisonfire]

:willy_nilly:



I don't even know how to react right now ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Roogsy]

2 titles in San Jose.

2 titles in Houston.

If he brings us even 1 title...he will be the most successful player in MLS history.

And he's our own, Toronto-raised hometown boy.

I have goosepimples.

[DigzTFC!]

This does so many things in one move. MLSE gets a guy who can sell jerseys, takes up a domestic spot, shores up our offense and gives us flexibility if we don't get another striker.

Seriously, draft O'Brien White now...Dichio, De Ro, Barrett, Ibrahim, O'Brien.

The next move should be to trade Marshall and maybe a draft pick for Serioux. Then, if we won't to be a monster clun, sign a DP CB and dominate this fucking league. Oh yes, and sign that Keon Daniel guy to operate the left wing.

-------------Dero Dichio
Daniel--Robbo--Guevara---Ricketts
Brennan--Serioux---Staam DP--Wynne
===========Sutton

Also draft that Zakuan kid. I'm drooling looking at the possibility of this being real

[Redcoe15]

The Star's Cathal Kelly just posted the DeRo story (http://www.thestar.com/sports/article/553059) on the Star's website.

The Star's Cathal Kelly just posted the DeRo story (http://www.thestar.com/sports/article/553059) on the Star's website.

I'm glad at least he spelled DeRO's name right on the title. We couldn't ask for too much - ie spelling the name (of one of the greatest players from this city) correctly in the article... knoob...

We'd also get slaughtered during Canadian International games though...

[wzhxvy]

The only way this makes sense for Houston is if they have a deal done for Kenny Cooper (Texas boy and all) and needed the cash...but I mean seriously Julius James +150K...lol...

[DigzTFC!]

We'd also get slaughtered during Canadian International games though...

Which Canadian games are these? The WCQ.....I don't think so.

[billyfly]

I first heard this in the car coming home. I almost shat myself.

Does Jack really have this much power? We must all fear the RPB Prez.

[Roogsy]

Don't we have the Gold Cup this year?

annnnnnnnndddd it just hit me...OH MY FUCK

[SilverSamurai]

Don't we have the Gold Cup this year?
Yep we do.
DeRo, Sutton, Brennan and likely Harmse will be gone.
Although theirs still the Mitchell factor...

In any case we HAVE to have a top 4 finish at the Gold Cup in order to boost our FIFA ranking.

But DeRo's come home!!!! WHOO!!!:hump::hump::hump::canada::canada:

Now about JDG... ;)

[forza_tfc]

Just saw the news. FUCK YA!!!!! Welcome home Dero!

All right - when does the season begin? I can't wait!

This off-season has been pretty good so far - I finally became an official season ticket holder, and we have DeRo. Awesome awesome awesome!

[olegunnar]

THANK YOU NYRB!!!!!!

We've got a hometown boy that wanted to play here, but we needed Houston to want to start a rebuild and move one of their marketable "older" pieces.

Had they gone farther in the playoffs would they have made this effort to get allocations and a younger player? Not this year I think, maybe next.

So I know the redpatch bhoys like to say the red bulls are shite, and like the credit Mo for this, but today...the NYRB are alright by me.

HA HA HA HA


HA...Looks like me and nelson are gonna need another T- Shirt Design.

I'll give MOJO his credit on this. (well played sir)
but I hope he knows there is still alot of work that still needs to be done.

Our backline is still terrible and needs alot of work.

Merry Christmas MOJO. Enjoy the holidays and make sure your first NEW YEARS resolution is to strengthen are denfence.

:drinking:

[Keyman]

Holy shit!

[Danbwoy]

Holy Macaroni!!!!

[Super]

gee williker

[Keyman]

Well, I'm of the opinion that Mo has a plan. This is the first step of three.

Next will be a designated player, and then a central defender.

And then I can finally say, Ha!
Because I have, since the old board, defended Mo and his front office. My friends thought I was crazy, most of you thought I was crazy, but maybe now people will rethink their positions.

Good things come to those who wait.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

Signing him at a NON DP spot...is what makes this even sweater!!....800 000 still left in alocation and a DP still remaining! :)....Once we sign a DP..it'll be like 2 DP's for the price of one!!

My internet was down yesterday until quite late, so I didn't get the news until I was too tired & drunk to post.

Thank you Mo for bringing De Ro home. I really did not believe it was going to happen for years. I have been vocal about not wanting him in 2 or three years, but am thrilled to get him now.
I was also fully prepared to get no news on player signings until the season was underway.
Thank you for proving me wrong on both counts.

[Rochdale]

l was watching TSN last night at the pub and when they mention that DeRo was coming to Toronto the place went crazy.

He will.

okay from a marketing standpoint I always say i wouldnt get suckered in to buying new kits with mere little tinkering....

But first thing im doing is heading out the door to pick up one and getting De-Ro on it

My wife will be happy when I tell her his back ground is from Guyana!

[Northern Soul]

By the way, I always thought that if we were going to get DeRo, we'd have to send Guevara the other direction. I'm amazed that we didn't.

By the way, I always thought that if we were going to get DeRo, we'd have to send Guevara the other direction. I'm amazed that we didn't.

[Hitcho]

That's the thing that really makes this all the sweeter for us.

We really didn't give up anything huge to make this happen!

And I have a feeling that Trader MoJo probably already has a top CB from outside MLS lined up to come to the club in January, which will make swapping JJ for De Ro look like the biggest steal in history. MoJo always seesm to have an overall plan going on, rather than just one off trades.

I also think we'll see Marshall go to Seattle for their first overall draft pick to free up cap space for the new CB, and hopefully see a DP poacher come in. We'll then have picks 1, 2 and 4 for young/GA talent and pick 13 for OBW, who will play in 2010 once DD has retired at the end of 2009. At that point, Mo will look like an absolute genius.

Sorry, is this for real?

Based on what we just saw in the pricing for DeRo, why on earth would we expect to receive a first overall draft pick for a 34 year old journeyman defender?

We'll get an allocation, and that's it.

This is Toronto ensco, it's in our nature to overvalue our players. When we don't get a 1st round draft pick for Marshall ppl on this board are going to start the fire Mo threads again. A Journeyman defender is the equivalent to an All star defender in Toronto fans eyes.

You know there's no finite value on this stuff - it all depends what people are willing to give up for what they want. Or what they can afford with the cap.

Still, might as well dream big.

Any player's value is supply and demand, just like anything else. If Marshall is worth a lot to Seattle's, Mo will soak them.

from Robbo's column:


I also have to welcome our new signing Dwayne de Rosario, a Canadian boy, former mvp league player and all-star team player for a number of years too.

It is a great coup for Mo Johnstone to manage to get him, and I know that a lot of work went into this from him.

Mo-haters can take a breather.

I hate Mo-haters almost as much as I hate Mo.
