    So on the flipside, you could argue that the ball is in DeRo's court in that he should honour the last two years of his contract and when the time comes he can then give TFC the bird and go elsewhere.
    That still leaves TFC with the advantage, meaning it is not truly in his court. Waiting for the end of the full life of the contract is not the only nor best time to use your leverage. His agent would be a fool to take this line of attack.

    As for appearing petulant...perhaps that may be the case with some. But not all. And in the end, whether he comes across as petulant or as a mother theresa, what your opinion of him is does not have any tangible benefits to him so a bit of reality here might be in order.

    He can inject as much drama as he wants, but if it hurts the team, you know how the fan base will react. Tricked or not, he signed a contract.

    Reality is I really don't care.
    But when you wonder why you aren't beloved you have to look back at your actions.
    So again, when people say "I can't understand why fans don't him more love", then you have the answer.

    Sure it does. He seemed to genuinely appreciate the love he was getting from the fans before all this shit happend. He even said it ment a lot to him. And more importantly, what's he going to do after soccer for work? Wouldn't it be beneficial for him to be seen as a beloved figure when looking for a job in this sport or a selfish, money grubbing whiner? What about the parties he's always throwing that he asks people to come to? Would people be more inclined to party with a decent guy or a cunt?

    Yes... that is the only reason we are getting tired of him... because he writes imaginary cheques....
