    Roogsy, if that isn't proof enough that you're trying too hard...

    When the paperwork conceivably involves financials and one camp is facing a potential tampering charge while the other has leverage, I'm not sure why anyone thinks this would be routine.

    Maybe DeRo's agent thinks it is routine but then again, he thinks he is just there overseeing DeRo trying to stay in shape. Buy him a Bow-Flex for chrissake.

    Sorry mates...from time to time I do have to step away. Dinner with clients tonight. And don't expect much from me tomorrow, I am off to NY. So for the funny guys that take my "silence" as a message, believe me it's not.

    Ok so I check in tonight (damn I am addicted to this place) and see there is nothing much new. Hopefully we'll get more news on New Year's Eve. If not, hopefully more concrete facts once DeRo is back and yes, something from the man himself I hope.

    Hey you earned your time off this week, I just hope Dero gives vacation pay.

    (Kidding obviously. Have a good New Years. You'll be defended in your absence. Dero on the other hand.... uh. Well have a good trip)

    I think this is the picture in DeRo's Agent's office:

    Celtic in clear over trialist
    Bhoys will not be punished by Toronto over De Rosario

    De Rosario: Under contract with Toronto FC

    MLS side Toronto FC will help Celtic secure Dwayne De Rosario rather than look to punish them for having their player on trial.

    Bhoys boss Neil Lennon recently confirmed the club were looking at the 32-year-old Canada international with a view to securing his services.

    It later emerged that De Rosario had two years left on his contract with Toronto FC and had not been given permission to travel.

    However, the Canadian side are now of the understanding that Celtic believed all the necessary paperwork was in place and that they hold no grudge against the team.

    "We talked with Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and he indicated that Celtic had been told by both the player and his agent that they had permission," a league official told mlssoccer.

    "When we are told that by a club like Celtic we are inclined to not move towards a legal action and instead work with them to secure the proper paperwork."

    No games really, this is pretty clear.

    TRIAL, not training and dishonesty on the part of DeRo. Not a word from the man or his agent. However to his credit it looks like he got what he wanted.

    He should pray that his TRIAL goes well. Freddy has already inked a deal.

    Both sides are playing the "silent" game big guy. Much like how I am demanding TFC come clean, you are demanding the same of DeRo. DeRo is not the only one here with the missing pieces. The truth is that BOTH sides need to come clean, not just one side.

    Not sure why you are saying both sides are staying silent. TFC have issued at least 3 statements since this began where Dero has not muttered a word.

    TFC has official statements of their position of this on their web site. How is that being silent?

    Statements without providing information. Making noise doesn't actually make anyone more informed. The same could be said about DeRo's "tweet". Technically he wasn't "silent".

    Coming clean means laying all the info out on the table. Neither side has done that.

    you are splitting hairs dude.

    Where is the substantive statement from Dwayne explaining why he is there, what he wants and why have there been apparent inconsistencies with the paperwork?

    Does he want to remain with TFC?

    Is this in his opinion a trial or just a training opportunity?

    Does he intend to come back?

    Whether you agree with what either Celtic or TFC is saying or "not" saying in one thing and I will give you benefit of the doubt for your beliefs. But at least they are saying something.

    DeRo becomes more of a disgrace by the minute.

    quoting you

    "Both sides are playing the "silent" game big guy."


    I asked how TFC are playing the silent game when they have issued official statements on their position? Are you saying those official statements don't count?

    So DeRo's tweet his his official statement? OK. I'll note that ... "Don't believe the hype"

    He did say "exciting week of futbol coming up..." a week ago. TFC should have known EXACTLY what he was planning.

    Before you say his brother and agent have spoken Roogsy...why hasn't DeRo?

    He could have really helped himself out with the supporters if he had

    And here I thought he was in another country training with a team. Ironic that now we're demanding he speak up when usually people are asking him to clam up.

    we ask him to clam up when he scores a single in a 2-1 game and instead of running the ball back like the champ he poses as he gets his fucking cock out, not when he's running around with another fucking crest on his shirt

    Good lawyers know when to just cut a deal with the prosecutor.

    An official statement from TFC FO doesn't mean anything! Dero is too busy jumping over pool tables to account for his activities! Lennon going on about taking a look at Dero and what he can offer Celtic meant he was taking them all out for dinner for letting him use their weight room!

    So far in this whole mess the only "side" that looks at all professional is Celtic.

    I no longer believe Roogsy is related or friends with DeRo. At this stage, I'm convinced he is DeRo.

    If Dero could argue that eloquently or think that logically we wouldn't be talking about this right now
