disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 American winger keen to earn Rangers reprieve Beasley: Hoping for opportunity DaMarcus Beasley is prepared to fight for his Rangers future after falling out of favour at Ibrox. The American winger has been told that he is surplus to requirements by Gers boss Walter Smith after failing to force his way into first-team contention this season. With the Glasgow giants keen to offload any deadwood during the January transfer window, it had looked likely that Beasley would be one of those heading for the exit. However, the gutsy former PSV Eindhoven and Manchester City man is keen to play his way back into contention at Rangers and help the club wrestle the SPL title back from Old Firm rivals Celtic. "The gaffer has said in the papers that he will have to consider offers for players who aren't playing, if they are made," Beasley told the Evening Times. "I understand I fit the bill in that respect just now. It is up to me to show that I am worth keeping here. "I realise the club will look at things if someone comes in for me, but at the moment I'm not thinking about that at all. "I love the club and I'm hopeful I can get back in and play my part in the team. I don't have any desire to go somewhere else. I'm happy here." Ambitions While reiterating his desire to remain in Scotland, Beasley does accept that his international aspirations rest on his ability to find regular action. Speaking in Rangers News, he added: "I have a lot going on with the United States national team. "We've got World Cup qualifiers coming up and the Confederations Cup in South Africa this summer. I want to be involved in all of that. "I know for that to happen I need to be playing football, so hopefully over the next couple of weeks things can improve for me. "I know I've got to look out for myself first. If I'm not playing here I should move on. I must stress, though, that I really want to be a part of things here. I want to stay and I've not got it in mind to leave." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11781_4793568,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Its a shame how its worked out for Beasley, he was one of few Walter Smith signings that i got excited about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Him or Aaron should definitely be given a chance on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I can't see him making it here, if only because Smith would rather play Adam and McCulloch, and switch who plays LM every game, than give the only real left winger we have a run of games.

Muff 245 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 should start LM on saturday There are 2/3 players who should be given the nod before him - Naismith, Aaron and Fleck(although I wouldn't play him out on the left, but he can play there) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Only Smith could make DMB at £700,000 a bad deal. Could have been the best signing of the last 6 years if Smith could utilise a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 9 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Saying exactly what Cousin said tbh. Happy to stay, happy to go. Just wants to play. But he's so badly out of form I can't justify playing him ahead of Aaron. Who can't even get in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 He should never have been dropped after the Hamilton game. He also looked good when he came on against ICT. He'd still be my first choice left mid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youllneverwinaway 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Starvin Marvin is pish. He is lightweight and spends more time on his arse than he does on his feet, probably due to his oversized and disproportianite head. He has had no more than 3 excellent games for us and has started only 57 League games in the last 5 seasons. What is it people have seen that would determine him as being the answer to our issues?

ManchestGer 347 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I wouldn't care if he left, I think we've got better talent waiting on the bench in both Naismith and Aaron. I don't think Beasley is a bad player but just not cut out for the SPL and wont really get the chance to adapt to it if he's not gonna get a regular run out at LM. I think it may be best to get rid of him during this transfer window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy WATP 86 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I really rate Beasley and would say he is the best choice at LW for us But he is so out of form and he needs a permanent run of games and with Smith in charge that isnt likely to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUENIZ 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've yet to see much from him to suggest he's the answer to our left wing problem, or even if he is going to cut it here. He certainly has the pedigree and i thought he would be a good signing but it looks like it just isnt going to work out for him for one reason or another. Would like to see Naismith or Niguez get a run of games out there if anyone. Our lack of real width is a concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been the best signing of the last 6 years if Smith could utilise a winger. I think you mean, if he could stay on his feet, have the gumption to try and beat a man and get a cross in, in fact, actually play like winger when he is on the field. The guy makes Burke look like Ronaldo! One of the most disappointing singings in a while for me And his comments to the press sound more like "fuck it, you are paying me whether you play me or not, and, am not shifting" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
