kkennedy 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Rangers have suffered a huge blow with the news that DaMarcus Beasley could miss the rest of the season. The 25-year-old winger hurt his knee against Stuttgart last month and he flew back to America for surgery. Rangers feared the worst and now US Soccer Federation spokesman Michael Kammerman has revealed that it will be four to six months before Beasley recovers. Beasley has made a big impact at Ibrox since his move from PSV Eindhoven in the summer - bagging four goals in 19 games so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Was in the News of the World on Sunday morning, did mean to post it but I didn't due to a mixture of fergetfulness and a distrust of that certain paper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 9 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Not surprised at all. The only thing which surprised me was the optimistic estimate from Smith about a number of months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 It's a blow, he was just starting to play well. I really wish we'd landed that Pascal Feinduono in the summer. He's setting the French league alight and is scoring for fun. Exactly the type of player we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBear 144 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I think he's just too weak to recover properly. The guy needs a good feed. Forget the medics, send him round to my mums house for a fortnight, she'll see him right. 'Mair neeps, De Marcus ?' 'Well hell yeah, Mrs ScotBear, right on !!'

ianculbertson 0 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 CHICAGO -- American midfielder DaMarcus Beasley will be sidelined 4-to-6 months following surgery on his right knee. The 25-year-old Beasley was hurt while playing for Scotland's Glasgow Rangers in a European Champions League game against Stuttgart on Nov. 27. U.S. Soccer Federation spokesman Michael Kammerman said Monday that the operation had taken place and gave the time frame for Beasley's expected recovery. Beasley will miss most, if not all, of the rest of Rangers' season. He could return for the U.S. team's opening World Cup qualifiers in June. Beasley scored four goals in 19 games this season for Rangers, who acquired him from PSV Eindhoven. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...605&cc=5901 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,734 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 he was really coming onto a game imo and was a danger man for us in europe, especially on the counter perfect for the lyon game imo. and the injury was a ferkin daft one aswell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ara 154 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 big blow for us... anyone else gutted by this? Sorry but I'm not gutted by this..bad timing with others sidelined for Lyon, but to be honest I don't think he's got the strength to make the really top flight and add European standard quality into the side. Nice and nippy but all too often he goes missing when there's work to be done - especially if we're behind... in Barca I had a great seat near his position and he shat it from 3 tackles in the first 30 minutes.. Nothing against the lad, but don't think he has all it takes to take RFC to where it needs to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,259 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Never good to see any player being seriously injured but it is not the end of the world for the club as I do not think he is anywhere near indispensable. I think he lacks the courage and commitment to play regularly in europe, views shared by his previopus two clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
