DaMarcus Beasley is staying in the UK by signing today with Rangers F.C. While it is good to see Beasley playing Champion's League football next year, I have reservations about the move.
Some will remember that pundits on both sides of the Atlantic questioned Claudio Reyna's switch to Ibrox due to his susceptibility to injury. While that has always been a concern for Claudio, commentators were particularly concerned due to the physical nature of play in Scotland.
Given Beasley's small frame and his tendency to draw hard fouls from slower defenders, He could have plenty of bruises to match his new uniform. At this point in his career, I'm not sure if Beasley needs to get toughened up.
There is certainly potential for Beasley and for the Rangers. He'll provide needed pace to the Rangers attack, and the player can certainly expect silverware if he stays for a few seasons. I just hope his skills and health aren't squandered in the process.
