    I'm interested in seeing the terms.

    A little humility, along with his natural talent, and he could be a positive contributor to the team again.

    And I guess this means the "purge" of shit management is complete?

    He will most certainly NOT tear this league apart.

    most interesting is that on the extratime radio podcast he made it clear he would never return with the old regime in place. with this move it shows he believes things have changed and at least at this point support the management in place right now.

    This was a great PR move by the club. I assume that the contract terms and his revised role on the club were discussed prior to making the selection. There is no chance that the new regime would risk turning this into a clusterfuck given the history of both parties involved.

    Welcome back DeRo.

    We apparently already have a contract in place.

    I think this is a fantastic off-the-field move, and a decent on-the-field move. It's low risk with potentially huge reward, and I think Bez will still recognize the need for a creative mid despite DeRo coming in.

    Dero feeding the ball to Gilberto/Defoe is awesomely awesome.

    Defoe plays down low...needs fed low...Dero playing high behind front 2 in midfield will do this. NOW, Defoe (if he signs) will tear this league apart and Dero will get a ton of assists.
    I am literally buzzing......

    From what I had heard (not from TFC) the contract is appropriate, but I have no confirmation. Welcome back, its a little bit of a gamble but worth taking in so many respects.

    I hope he does well and avoids injury.

    "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

    I like the move. He could be effective in the right role. It's definitely a plus for marketing and fan excitement.

    Hoping he knows he needs to be a distributor and not a guy that charges head down towards the net, refusing to pass, finally blasting a terrible shot 15 yards over the net.

    Just please don't give him the captain arm band...

    Otherwise, we'll see how this plays out.

    I was one of those who wanted him gone in the day.

    Now I am one who wants him back.

    I think things will end very differently this time.

    Welcome home DeRo!! Let's face it, DeRo belongs in red!

    I love the two signals this sends off

    1 - TFC is no longer the the TFC of old - DeRo would have never come back to that dysfunctional group
    2 - DeRo has a chance to reshape his image to fans of TFC

    If both groups play nice and this goes well, it could be an event that we look back at and identify when the team took a turn in the right direction

    It's an optimistic, pie in the sky kind of opinion, but this deal could be larger than just bringing back a former player.

    I am struggling to see where De Rosario would fit in a flat 4-4-2. Would make sense as a bench option to change things up.

    That's assuming a flat 4-4-2 is the plan going forward or just a necessity last season with a thin, poor squad.
