It just proves to me that the whole Celtic ploy was done to strong arm TFC to give DeRo a new contract when they don't have to.

Yet people were denying it.


What people were denying it?

The training stint served several purposes one of which was to leverage TFC for a new contract, hedge in case TFC released him or if TFC happen to be willing, allow for some time in European with a big club. Is that not obvious? I hardly think anyone denied any of these points have they? This is all just good business. In fact, aside from all the confusion over the permission thing, this is exactly what I would expect a good agent to do for ANY player.
