"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
DeRo must be loving the moving
just saw it on facebook - mls smack talk.
knowing that dero has no chance at the mls cup makes me extremely happy. fuck yes i'm a hater.
silly for DC. Must really want to push for a playoff spot this year, doesnt make much sense for a team that low in the standings to trade away a top young player in the league (unless he is on his way to Europe soon).

Hmm New york Clearing the way......someone big is coming to the Shitebull....
Despite all the BS, posturing and double talk from every corner. I count Dero as one of the few players I miss most which include DannyD and Robbo. In my opinion they each contributed to my overall gameday experience in a positive way.
wow!....
I dunno. It does sound like a short term push for DC. I think they are trying to ride on Charlie Davies to make the playoffs and with DeRo to push as hard as possibleOriginally Posted by werewolf
I'd still say NYRB wins on this trade as Dax McCarty may be the next Stuart Holden.

NYRB totally won this trade. DeRo is a shell of his former self and a locker room cancer in every city he's gone - probably with the exception of NY considering how short his time there has been
He's only a year or two younger than Holden though, right? I can't see McCarty winning player of the year at a Premier League club in 12 months, to be fair. Still, aggressive move by DC . . . Really surprising stuff.
wow...NY must be up to something.
didn't see that coming... Where's Roosgy?
^preparing to move to DC
What the heck am I going to do with a 12 foot novelty cheque made out to DeRo. Wuth DCU already having visited that means he won't be suiting up against TFC at BMO
This is a pure salary dump so they can sign another DP and Dax McCarthy is a nice piece to receive in return. I would rather have McCarthy over both Tchani and Borman.
Robert Pires!!
I know I'd be very happy with Dax McCarty running AM spot for TFC. has a lot of potential and plays two ways. I don't know why he's being bounced around a lot, but I think his inconsistency at times might be doing it

Aug 6, TFC go to DCU
I agree its a salary dump, but I think its also a sign of good ownership. They knew DeRo is a depreciating asset whose value will never be as high as it is right now.
IMO, NYRB got a huge win getting Dax but Tchani / Borman suit our needs very well, so I'd say I'm satisfied with the DeRo trade.
I guess New York didn't want to sign his cheque.... maybe DC will give him DP money.... or maybe not.
lol no. completely different players too.
But I would agree they won the trade - mostly cause of the opportunity cost associated with having DeRo on the payroll rather than another DP.
I have to think NYRB isn't satisfied where they are and are going to get another big name this summer.
I'd say it's already diminished. Age has caught up to him and he's not as sharp as he was.Aug 6, TFC go to DCU

^ I'd agree
for all the talk about de ro being selfish and not contributing to the team as a whole etc etc. - he didn't really get that many goals in NY, but they certainly did well with him in the team.
very interesting move for pretty much all sides.
Dero stats this season:
New York:
13 games , 2 goals, 4 assists.
TFC:
2 games , 1 goal, 1 Assist.
Canada
3 games, 2 goals, both pens though.
I wish TFC had some more washed up players like him.
El O'El.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
It's an interesting move, that only really makes sense if it's setting up something else during the transfer window. I recall reading they're looking for centre forward.
Anyone think NYRB would be interested in our DP defensive mid?
Just a note, 2 of those 3 league goals were also penalty shots.
1 regular time goal in 18 games, hmm.
I know this isn't a popular sentiment, but I quite like NYRB. I'd say they're my second favourite MLS team. Anyone ever watch their team in Austria, there not too bad either.
