    He's scored some beauties but he is 32 and if he's so good then I wonder why no european team has picked him up before.

    Dwayne has consistently been among the cream of MLS crop. He is getting on in years at this point but could be a decent signing. As for why he was never picked up by a bigger team, he's been linked with clubs but he was a legend at his old club Houston Dynamo and was captain, etc...

    He always pledged to play for his hometown Toronto which he does now. We were in for him a few years ago when I first joined the forum but nothing came of it.

    Another thing to note is that he is not a traditional winger but offers something different.

    I am 55-45 for this move as I am worried about him adapting to a higher standard at his age, but have seen him show some great stuff in terms of ability

    Your name comes from a guy 'discovered' at 26 years old from the Irish league (a league of lesser standard than the MLS) who has become a bit of a gem for us.


    double standard a bit?

    I go to quite a few TFC games and DeRo is without a doubt one of the best midfielders in all of MLS. Not the quickest guy on the pitch but he has a deft touch and great vision. Likes to play in the hole as more of a second striker rather than a pure CM...and he's certainly not a box-to-box guy, but he knows how to finish.

    Although tbh, at 32 years of age, I'm not really sure if this is the type of target Celtic should be looking at. He'd come here and do a job, no doubt, but I don't think this is an optimal move going forward.

    not really besides a couple of teams most of the MLS can't compete with the top 6 in the SPL, and their is no team good enough there to challenge the old firm, pre-season games do not count as we are using back ups and are playing before our fitness levels are up

    I'm iffy on this one as well. Being in America I'm stuck watching a lot of MLS and there is no doubt De Rosario is one of the best MLS players ever but I just dont see where he would fit into our squad. He is the kind of player that seems to have to have the tactics built around him, such as his time for the Dynamo. But he is a veteran player will loads of skill, so you never know.

    No chance that we are after him. His best days are behind him and we don't need any more squad players in his position.

    At his most recent club- Toronto Fc 26 goals in 56 games. (according to wiki). For an attacking mid, is a * good rate.
