BlueSuedeSambas 54,676 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Some people don't seem to rate him, probably because he's a different player to what they expected, but I think he's quality. Yes for being quick and nippy he probably doesn't get to the byeline enough, but there's more to his game than that. He's an extremely intelligent player who rarely wastes possession, but he has the pace to fall back on if need be. Every year there seems to be a player who is poor in their first season but ups their game and wins a place in the side in their second year. Papac did it last year and Hemdani did it the season before for example and after a dissapointing first season I think it will be Beasley next year. I just fail to see how a player who offers so many attributes that we lack: pace, mobility, a left foot, technical ability and intelligence, aswell as a genuine vast degree of experience can't be an asset.

Guest johngers Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I think he's a really good player and will do well for us next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamcs 1 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 He's class. He's the kind of player that can create something out of nothing - exactly what we were missing towards the end of last season. I wouldn't say he had a bad season at all, he was playing on a regular basis and doing well before he got injured. He set up a few goals, scored a few goals, and won us loads of free kicks and penalties which led to goals. Definitely a useful person to have in any team. I think he'll be one of the first picks next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Some people don't seem to rate him, probably because he's a different player to what they expected Yep - very different - because he was no where near as good as I expected. I hope he's another McCoist, Hateley in that he improves vastly as his career at Ibrox unfolds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 The original poster is spot on. We missed him badly after he was injured. He has pace, goals, and offers us an out ball. Intelligent player and very experienced too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel 1 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I think you might be on to something there - he is quite a good player, he needs to bulk up a bit though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I think he's either a hit or a miss. I'll give him more time before judging him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_ni 12 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 hasnt done quite as well as i would have hoped although the injury didnt help as he didnt have that much time to settle in scotland. I think he can be a good player for us but he was frustrating me in the cup final at times when he played. Several times he was just hugging the touch line and going back towards papac when papac had the ball. He should be making runs up the left hand side. There was one time papac played a simple through ball and beasley left the right back for dead he had so much pace. That is what we need to see from beasley next season, making the runs towards the defence, a simple ball over the defender for him to run onto and get into the box will bring us lots of goals next season if he does that.

trueblue1872 2 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I really didn't like what i saw from him last season tbh. Just tracked back too much and never ran at the man ahead of him. But new season, fresh start, lets see what he can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeithGer 0 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Saw him play for U.S. against Argentina a couple of weeks ago. Had a great game, will be stand-out next year !!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I doubted him originally due to his reluctance to take a man on, but when he came back for the cup final - albeit against dire opposition - we seen what we have missed. He is the only player have have capable of swinging in a decent cross and I am looking forward to seeing him next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted E Bayer 491 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Is it possible the small pitch we have at Ibrox limits his qualities a little? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortGlasgow 0 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Is it possible the small pitch we have at Ibrox limits his qualities a little? Doubt as last time I looked we have the biggest pitch dimensions in the SPL, we have the widest pitch in Britain wider than Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea. Only Everton can match it at 78 yards. Wouldnt mind seeing if this has changed over time as last checked it was 115yards x 78 yards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsuperally 0 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I cant remember a player since Gazza & Laudrup who created a real buzz when they got the ball,I think Beasley may be tha man to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankatOxford 0 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Speaking of DMB, he just opened his own soccer school in the states. DaMarcus played decently in the high profile friendlies we just had against England, Spain, and Argentina. Average against England, well against Spain, and brilliantly against Argentina. Losing 1-0 to the now Euro Champs and drawing with the world number 1, was due in part to DMB's work ethic and pace. He played in several different positions but still looked most comfortable on the left wing, as always. He even played central midfield for a bit after we went down to 10 men against Argentina. Beasley's still a bit rusty though, and did not shine against minnow Barbados in WCQ (granted they packed it in and we won 9-0 on aggregate ). He had one assist, and actually played the second match as a striker with Freddy Adu due to trying to fit some fringe midfielders into the team.
