The best ever for TFC hands down and one of the all-time greatest the MLS has ever seen.
Statistically he was our best player.
Where Im from, good players that fuck off to rival teams for more money dont get too much respect.
Can someone instead tell me why Labrocca got the shit booed out of him a couple of weeks ago? that guy wasnt brilliant but he was a positive player and never put a foot wrong with the fans or his media appearances.
DeRo should expect a fair amount of it, but Labrocca?
DeRo was hands down our best player.
Mista anyone?
Clearly DeRo has been the best.
Anyone here stating should be put down for sheer stupidity.
He's gone and he's part of the shit. Or are we cheering for the redbulls now?
Wait so recognizing a player as having been the best to wear our kit is wrong because that player no longer plays here? Here I thought that when chosing a "best ever" one tends to look back at everyone who has at one point played for your team.
I am however curious to know how you made the leap from "I think DeRo was the best FC player" to "I now cheer for the Red Bulls".
Fascinating how there are some get turned on so much when they trash DeRo, that they can't have a positive thread go without voicing their over-stated opinion against the man.
He is, to this date, the best single player that has played for Toronto. That is certainly a fact. A fact that may change in time when/if a better player comes along. Until then, gone or not, like him or not, he is our best player ever.
That is what this thread was about right? Or does the above state I am a Red Bulls fan now?
this bugged the shit out of me too. Always showed up, always put in a shift, always one of the first to acknowledge us win or lose and he got shit on for being traded. One of the few times I've actually been disgusted with our behaviour.
And yes, DeRo was our best player by a country mile
In my eyes Amado has been the best player to put on a TFC shirt. DeRo had a little more production for us, but Amado has been the best we have had.
I HEARD WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEST EVER TFC PLAYER SO IM JUST GOING TO LEAVE THIS HERE..
DeRo was the best game breaker in TFC history. Guevara was probably the most skilled player in TFC history, although his effort on the pitch wasn't as consistent as DeRo.
Poor Mista. Off topic, both Mista and JDG had to leave La Liga and come to Toronto in order to be discredited as footballers.
I always knew La Liga was overrated. MLS standards can humble just about any player. Not De Ro, of course.
Being able to work as a team player is a key consideration to answer the question so, was he our best player - no. Overall, I think Dichio was.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

This thread reminds me on someone dating the hot chick in High School then loosing her to the star quarterback. It was never meant to be, take her picture out of your wallet...move on!!!!
Based on Labrocca he should be booed off the park. Based on Robbo he should get a standing ovation. I can't figure us out half the time!! I'll leave it to the moment to decide personally how to react because I can't discredit his contributions but I can't abide the shitstorms he was involved in either
Best Ever player? yup. Cant argue against it.
Dichio was "Best Leader".
Cunningham was "Best person to shit on"
Frei is "Best Goalie"
Mista is "Best way to waste DP money"
I think the only one that is in question is the "Best person to forget was on our team". too many to choose.
