"According to multiple sources, Danish powerhouse FC Copenhagen are in the hunt for Dwayne De Rosario’s signature. The 30 year old former MLS Cup MVP, may be interested in joining his fellow countrymen Atiba Hutchinson. De Rosario has won 4 MLS Cups during his time in Major League Soccer, could be looking to make the move to Europe this summer, as the Copenhagen based club are said to be currently negotiating a transfer fee with Major League Soccer...."
Interesting, would this be a good move for De Ro? for the National Team?

Atiba has improved quite a bit since moving to FCK, although I think DDR is a bit old to improve too much.

Although playing at a higher level all the time could give DDR a sharper edge on the international stage.

I am not really sure that Denmark is such a huge step up in quality. Pat Noonan, a fringe US player, just went to Norway simply because the wages are much higher. He was a good player for New England, but not exactly an MLS star. So in reality, I think this move would help out his pocketbook quite a bit, but I am not seeing it propelling the Canadian team very far.

But playing everyday in the same midfield as a fellow CMNTer in Atiba Hutchinson would help the National Team.

I'd expect DeRo in a slightly better league, to be honest. Screw that, come play in Toronto! :D

Update on Danish site, but nothing really new in it. Translation:

Hi all!!

I am from Malmoe (sweden) and a big fan of FC Copenhagen!
Just let you know that FCK is one of the best team i Europe!
For ex: FCK - Man United (in the Champions Leauge!) 1 - 0
FCK - Celtic (in the Champions Leauge!) 3 - 0
FCK - Zenit (this Years UEFA Cup Champions) 2 - 0
AJAX - FCK (in the Champions League) 0 - 2
So i think that De Rosario is doing the right thing going to FCK!
FCK is also a very wealthy club whit 71,400,000 dollar in the bank!

One of the very best indeed!
Aberdeen - FCK 4-0 UEFA Cup
FCK - Gorica 0-5 CL qualifiers

Almost the entire backbone of the 2006 CL team has disappeared
Gravgaard is in Nantes
Hangeland is in Fulham
Linderoth is in Galatasaray
Allback is in Orgryte

None of these players have been replaced by players of the same quality, so right now, FCK looks like a much weaker team than in 2006. However, we're still good enough to edge out Cliftonville.:)

And the DeRo rumor has been silent for a while, so I doubt it will come to anything, unfortunately.:(
