WTF!! Why did we trade Tony Tchani, Danleigh Borman and New York’s natural first round 2012 MLS SuperDraft selection in the first place for? Dax McCarty is good but we gave up a lot to get DeRo!

So in the end, this trade boiled down to Tchani, Borman and first round pick for McCarthy. Wonder if there is any RBNY remorse here.

Wonder what DeRo's reception will be like at RBA this year. He didn't even spend enough time on the team to develop a reputation

METRO REJECT (clap, clap, clap clap clap)

I'm just so perplexed right now. DeRo is worth at least Chris Pontius. McCarty was avialble for free in the expansion draft. We could have got this guy for a bag of balls and a supplemental pick back then.

It seems Philly fans have signed up on metrofanatic to vote for themselves (in 'What team do you hate more?') . No real fan of this team would vote anything other than DC.

The only thing I can think of is this opens cap space.

I'm guessing this is to free up an international spot in order to get a goalie, as both of ours currently suck the llama's ass?

This has to be it because otherwise WTF.

And Olsen didn't turn DC into a bunch of whining, diving.. oh, nevermind

We could have had a much easier month if RBFO pulled the trigger before the Gold Cup...

Per Dyer, De Ro's base salary is $425k, McCarthy's base is $155k. Definite cap space freedom, but I thought we weren't paying the bulk of DeRo's salary because of the terms of the Toronto trade?

What's funny is that I read an article just this morning on how Dax was upset that he lost the DC armband. I couple of hours later he is traded.

It's also nice to get someone young that could grow with this team.

I thought DeRo was finally settling in a bit. I wonder who is going to take PKs. And I hope this doesn't put a healthy Marquez back on taking corners. I thought Dax was really good last year...but haven't heard or seen much this year.
