Yes he is Pure Class. He is a roll model for Canadian Soccer, and set the standard everyone in the CSA is measured by. We may some day long down the road, find someone among our ranks with similar talent but I doubt they'll have his attitude and determination. He could literally will the game forward. If there were mere seconds on the clock, It was never over. Thats how dangerous he was, opponents could feel the clock as they watched him prowl. As you can tell he is my all time favorite soccer player. TFC messed up on this one and as the saying goes "you can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him" Whereas DeRosario's character has never been in doubt.
MLSE has a long tradition of this, pathetic
I'm still convinced Dero has a lot to offer this club on the field for at least another season.
Start him in CCL and ACC games and bring him in for the last 30 minutes of games where a spark is needed.
He created for us when he was brought into games last season, he just wasn't given full responsibility for such a role or enough time at it.
If any one deserves it (for a multitude of reasons and for merit) it's Dero.
I feel like theyre letting him go just so they can bring him back march 1st and get some publicity. I hope anyway
Nice goal v Iceland, header and the Dero dance to follow. :@)
For me, DeRo's second coming was two fold. First, watching him live at his return homecoming against DC United last year, and second, seeing him score his only goal live at Chicago last year. AFAIC, DeRo showed he cares about the game in this country.
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Upping the Canada scoring record to 21. Nobody is catching him this year but what a year of Canada footy this'll be!!!

If he can change his game to service the forwards - I say keep him as depth player. I think in that role he still has stuff to offer.
for sure!!
I see DeRo as the Wendel Clark of TFC....big heart. I can't even count on one hand how many players like that we've ever had...
ONE MORE SEASON!!!
Just saw this on twitter:

DeRo to Houston?
Duncan Fletcher @DuncanDFletcher 2m2 minutes ago
anyway, mere speculation at this point about houston, but does look less and less likely that he'll be playing with TFC this season.
It'll be a damn shame not to have DeRo back.
I find it incredibly disrespectful how the club just let him go like that. I'm really hoping he comes back in some capacity.
I'll never forget how excited I was when I learnt we had signed him (the first time around).
The man belongs on our "Wall of Honour", and I will be really disappointed if the FO, or the league for that matter, doesn't do something to honour him.
This makes little sense to me, unless it's a "Fire Vanney" thread (which I suspect will come sooner than later).
Dero has lost a step, we all know that. Plus, beyond their interaction last year, Vanney played against Dero for years, they would have been at allstar games and the like together.
It's Vanney's call, and it's hard to disagree. Most guys with Dero's resume just aren't suited to being supporting players, the team is right about that, and there is no right way to handle it if the player wants to keep going. Maybe he'll be Lampard at Houston or wherever, who knows, but that isn't the way to bet it, that's for sure.

What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.
DeRo, even when doing the right thing, has always been a little bit MeRo. I think a lot of guys who grow up in tougher circumstances get like that once they excel. The reason he wasn't resigned, and possibly also the equipment manager, isn't just about athletic downside. I suspect they wanted a much more positive dressing room.
Maybe premature.....

Looking forward to a big year... http://instagram.com/p/y7KPg6ADoH/
Wondering the same thing. Check his instagram and he has this same message with the TFC flag in the back ground. I have a feeling he's back for another round
i hope so. i too think he can offer something on the pitch. He was effective last year when he played.
I don't think he is one to tease us like that, he wants to win in his hometown and I would love him back.Maybe premature.....

He never really got a true and proper sending off, he really deserves in my opinion.
He will forever be bleed red.
I'd be ok with him getting a proper send off, then joining the staff.
It would be great to have his experience on the bench and his leadership in the locker room. This would set him up nicely for a role within the organization post retirement.
FUCK, yes!
He's the pride of Toronto (someone I always hoped Oso could follow in the footsteps of), and can play a role in the side, to be sure.
Please let this be true.
I could see him signing, on the basis that he plays till July and then gets a proper send off, similar to Brennan. Then joins the TFC staff in some capacity.
Benefit to him is that it appears he went out on his terms and can be honoured appropriately. And the team has some flexibility in July to address needs based on current injuries/weaknesses.
I really hope DeRo is back.
I'm a big fan.
even if he's not as quick as he was, he still makes things happen on the pitch.
the team played great when he came on in 2014.
I believe he can make valuable contributions for us in 2015. I really hope he signs with TFC for 2015.
I heard he signed with Montreal.
and by heard I mean made up for laughs.
You owe me a new keyboard... This one is waterlogged with coffee.
Anyone have an update?
Anyone? Haven't heard a thing about DeRo lately. Wasn't a fan with the cheque signing and such, but let water go under the bridge when he returned and grew to admire him again on his return.
A real disgrace how TFC just let him fall off the map and no mention of him or anything.
I follow him on Instagram. He hasn't posted anything about future employment. Taking in lots of basketball, and, doing stuff with his kids mostly.
Yeah, follow him too. The thing about "Looking forward to the future" with the TFC logo sure felt like something was up.
It would be an absolute disgrace if DeRo wasn't given a proper send-off. And if they do, some notice would be nice.
