nolando Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 The club informed the Canadian attacker Wednesday that it would not exercise the option on his contract — the largest on the roster — and was not planning to offer him a new deal, multiple sources told the Insider. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/soccer-insider/wp/2013/10/30/d-c-united-cutting-ties-with-de-rosario/?tid=pm_sports_pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 To Vancouver with Yallop? Couldn't be much worse than Kobayashi, even at 36. I wonder what salary he'd demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I would take him back at TFC. I blame TFC FO for the situation that lead to his departure. Will be interesting to see where he lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 At 36 I'd pass on Dero. We have Camilo. As much a fan of Dero as I am I have to wonder if he will hang them up or go for one more season. He keeps himself in great condition but any injury will now take 2-3 times as long to heal. At some point it's over. Here is hoping he keeps at it for one more year, has a great year and goes out in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm no real big Dero fan, but couldn't they have maybe, just maybe, waited until he left the stadium first? http://instagram.com/p/gHST1CADrt/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm no real big Dero fan, but couldn't they have maybe, just maybe, waited until he left the stadium first? http://instagram.com/p/gHST1CADrt/# I suspect that was done intentionally as a message. As I stated in the other thread I was at both games against DC this year both at home and in DC and my impression of DeRo was not that he was finished and couldn't play but that he was unhappy and sulking and not giving 100%. At times he was dangerous and lively just like he used to be but for large stretches he just did nothing and did not seem to care. He was supposed to be the veteran leader of the team and was paid accordingly but instead was a big part of the reason for DCU's terrible season. Maybe not terribly classy on the club's part but on the other hand I kind of like the message that players who are prima donnas and don't earn their pay cheque will not be honoured and given a fond farewell.

youllneverwalkalone Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yallop is heading to Chicago. I wouldn't believe everything Ives says. He's the Latino Daune Rollins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califax Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'd take DeRo in Toronto. I imagine he'll wait and join a team at the last possible minute. If TFC bring in the DPs they claim, wouldn't be surprised if it was at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Youngish 36 (if that's possible in this sport) but in a cap league? Ug. Up to DeRo at this point whether he wants to keep playing in MLS or no. Still can make some decent coin I'm sure but nothing like he has been the last few seasons. For a number of personal reasons I don't think heading overseas is any sort of option (to play lower level footie) and I suspect EVERY MLS manager knows that so what options does he have? And really, a pay cut opens up a lot of opportunities for the man in MLS. Anyone watch the Impact-Dynamo match tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 As for the DeRo banner coming down as he exited RFK Stadium on Wednesday, the club said most signage around the building was in the process of being removed, whether or not the player on display was returning next year. “It was not intended to slight the player,” one official said. Conclusion: Coincidental but terrible timing. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/soccer-insider/wp/2013/10/31/its-official-united-de-rosario-part-ways/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 DeRo interview: http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/de-rosarios-life-after-dc-united/ I was waiting for you to type that he said that he got injured in Costa Rica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillium Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I was waiting for you to type that he said that he got injured in Costa Rica. DeRo still has something to offer on the field, and depending on his desire to play for a reasonable salary he could help a MLS club, or a NASL club willing to drop some dollars ( Fury anyone ? ). I could see the Fury hiring him on if just to have him for Voyageurs Cup and then let him go back to MLS clubs when realize he has something to offer.

jpg75 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 DeRo to the Ottawa Fury eh? That is just silly if you ask me. No kidding. I'd be less surprised if DeRo ended up trialing in $Europe$ this winter and signing a short-term deal with a club looking for reinforcements.

Blackdude Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 DeRo wouldn't sign with Ottawa until the Re-entry Draft. I doubt that he wants to play NASL if he can find a way to play in MLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
