Dwayne De Rosarios return to Toronto FC is expected to be confirmed later this week after the former MLS MVP agreed to a contract with his hometown team. Alexander Radulov Stars Jersey . Canadas all-time leading goal scorer was selected by TFC in the MLS Re-Entry Draft before Christmas and I understand the two sides have now successfully negotiated a deal, although he hasnt yet put pen to paper. Whether or not this move is the right one for Toronto FC depends on how much they are paying, but with financially prudent general manager Tim Bezbatchenko at the helm, its a good bet the salary cap hit will be low, with the contract fully stocked with bonuses depending on the performances of De Rosario and the team. I was at Air Canada Centre in Toronto on the day De Rosario was first introduced as a Toronto FC player back in December 2008 following a highly successful spell with the Houston Dyamo. It was a heralded homecoming of a player who was one of the most decorated in Major League Soccer - a winner, coming to his hometown as a signature signing for a club heading into its third year of existence. For two seasons, De Ro lived up to the billing, but the club struggled through managerial instability and failed to qualify for the playoffs. However, his personal impact during his first spell with the club was overshadowed by the way in which he exited Toronto early in the 2011 season - a year when he went on to play for both the New York Red Bulls and DC United, and was then named MLS MVP. The infamous cheque signing and then the training spell at Celtic took the shine off his time in Toronto, but now there is a chance to put things right. De Rosario will now have the opportunity to finish a wonderful MLS career in his hometown. He could probably have earned more money elsewhere, but if he can make the desired impact, he has the potential to heal the wounds felt by some fans following his 2011 departure. Its not only a chance for De Rosario to make amends, but also for Toronto FC, under new management, to show the club has completely moved on from past failings. This time around, De Rosarios role will be much different. He wont necessarily be the focal point on the pitch, but more a member of the supporting cast for the already signed Brazilian forward Gilberto and the expected arrival of England international forward Jermain Defoe. For a player who turns 36 in May, it seems an ideal scenario. De Rosario is coming off a frustrating season in 2013. His DC United team finished bottom of the Eastern Conference and he scored an MLS career low of just three goals. So it is a much needed change of scenery with all of the financial benefits and home comforts that being in Toronto will bring. For the club, it is a gamble worth taking. It sends a positive message about the teams new management, while also providing them with a valuable piece of the puzzle currently being assembled by Bezbatchenko. De Rosario may be getting to the latter stages of his career, but hes been included in the MLS Best XI six times and still has plenty to offer. In his first spell with the club, he scored 27 goals in 57 MLS appearances during which time he was also named team captain. Its unlikely the Scarborough, Ontario native will produce those goal-scoring exploits this time around but he will more than adequately fit the role that will be asked of him. And in my opinion, the addition of the Canadian veteran is another shrewd addition by a club that appears to be moving in the right direction. Julius Honka Jersey . Manager Alex Ferguson says the injury was sustained while the player tried to hit a volley toward the end of training on Tuesday. Esa Lindell Stars Jersey .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins will try to complete a sweep of the Washington Capitals when the clubs cap a quick home-and-home series Tuesday night in the Steel City. http://www.thedallasstarshockey.com/mike-modano-hockey-jersey/ . -- Scottie Wilbekin sat on the bench for the final minute, holding a bag of ice against his left knee.London, England (SportsNetwork.com) - For the third time in four years Novak Djokovic will finish as the No. 1 player in the world. The top-seeded Serbian star blitzed sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych 6-2, 6-2 in 69 minutes in Fridays round-robin action at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals to secure his top-ranked status. The 27-year-old Djokovic also secured a berth in Saturdays semifinals at the Tour Finals after capturing his round-robin group with a perfect 3-0 record this week. Djokovic is the seventh player to finish as a year-end No. 1 on three occasions, joining Pete Sampras (6), Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer (5), Ivan Lendl and John McEnroe (4), and Rafael Nadal (3). Its an incredible achievement. Being No. 1 in the world is one of the biggest challenges a tennis player can have, said Djokovic. Ive been playing since I was four. I was very fortunate to have very knowledgeable people, people who believed in me, and believed in my talent. The seven-time Grand Slam champion is also only the fourth player -- after Lendl, Federer and Nadal (twice) -- to hold, lose and regain the year-end No. 1 ranking. This is the 11th straight season that the year-end No. 1 ranking has been held by Djokovic (2011-12, 14), Federer (2004-07, 09) or Nadal (2008, 10, 13). The two-time reigning and three-time overall Tour Finals champ Djokovic beat Nadal in last years final here in London and the super Serb has won his last 30 indoor matches. Djokovic spearheaded Group A, which also featured third-seeded Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka (2-1), Berdych (1-2) and eighth-seeded U.S. Open champ Marin Cilic (0-3). The Wimbledon champ Djokovic will face U. Bobby Smith Jersey. S. Open runner-up Kei Nishikori in Saturdays first semifinal. Nishikori stunned Djokovic in a semifinal at the U.S. Open in September. The two men have split four career matchups, including two meetings in 2014. The Serb beat the nifty Japanese at the Paris Masters just two weeks ago. Saturdays other semifinal will pit the second-seeded former world No. 1 Federer against his Swiss Davis Cup teammate Wawrinka, who reached the final four here by winning three games against Cilic in the final round-robin match of the week Friday night at The O2. Wawrinka closed out the round-robin stage with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Cilic. This weeks top-four seeds all made it through to the round of four. The two semifinalists from Group B were established on Thursday, when the Tour Finals king Federer (3-0) and the fourth-seeded Nishikori marched on in London. The other players from that group were fifth-seeded Andy Murray (1-2) and seventh-seeded Milos Raonic (0-2), who was replaced by first-alternate David Ferrer (0-1) on Thursday. Ferrer was forced into action on Day 5 when the Canadian slugger Raonic withdrew from the exclusive eight-player event due to a quad injury. The 17-time Grand Slam titlist Federer holds the record for the most titles at this prestigious season-ending tournament with six. Federer will meet his good friend Wawrinka for a 17th time on the ATP circuit seeking a commanding 15th victory. Theyve split a pair of matchups this season, as Wawrinka prevailed in a final at the Monte Carlo Masters and Federer came out on top in a quarterfinal at Wimbledon. ' ' '
