Nicky Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Nicked off www.nufc.com Our former European opponents Partizan Belgrade confirm that they have allowed their striker Pierre Boya (pictured in the stripes) to travel to Tyneside and train with the Newcastle squad. The Cameroon international striker turns 23 next month and has played his football in Serbia since 2004. Perhaps his most high-profile game for the Grobari (Gravevdiggers) came on the night that we were beating French side Sochaux 4-0 on their own patch, just over two years ago in the UEFA Cup. Boya finished with two goals to his name as Partizan drew 2-2 in Rome with Lazio, although the game was notable for the player being racially abused by home fans - something which saw the Italians fined and forced to play behind closed doors. Since then however Boya has failed to score consistently for Partizan and found himself out of the side, appearing in only two of their eight UEFA Cup ties this season and failing to net on either occasion. Despite the form of both Obafemi Martins and Antoine Sibierski, Glenn Roeder remains light in the striking department with Michael Owen and Shola Ameobi sidelined, Luque with his bags packed and Rossi returning to Old Trafford at the end of the year. Never heard of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nufc 4 life Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 taken off wikipedia Pierre Boya (born January 15, 1984 in Yaoundé, Cameroon) is a Cameroonian footballer. He currently plays for Serbia's FK Partizan where he arrived as a still 19-year-old in early January 2004. His finest hour with the club came in the December 2004 UEFA Cup draw (2-2) away at S.S. Lazio when he scored both Partizan goals. Unfortunatelly, for a year-and-a-half afterwards he was unable to find the back of the net. He finally ended his goalscoring drought on April 8, 2006, scoring a brace during the Serbia-Montenegro league match versus FK Voždovac. In the meantime he also recorded another dubious achievement in the crucial Champions League qualifier versus Artmedia Bratislava. After missing a slew of clear cut chances through the two matches, he failed to convert a crucial penalty in the shootout that would have qualified Partizan for 2005/06 UEFA Champions League. still never heard of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 If he can do a similar job to Sibierski it might be an adequate signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 As long as it's a signing purely to bulk up numbers I don't mind. However knowing our lot he'll be our 'signing' of the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Looks no bigger than Martins in the photo. Shouldn't we be looking for a someone more in the mould of a target man, seeing as Ameobi is out for the season and the only physical presence we have up front is Sibierski? It doesn't sound like there's much in the kitty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Gone are the days were we can just splash money around, infact if you look at arsenal they prove you don't need massive amounts of money, it's time we look for 'younger' talent. It's what those 2 west ham scouts were brought here for I assume. Have to say though, I've never heard of this fella, anyone know anything about him.. fast, prefered foot? What's he like when he's on the ball etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toon tone rudeboy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 He looks like another Oba, just not from as big a team. He is only here to train with the team. This won't be one of the big signings in January, will it? We haven't had any of our "big" signings over for training have we? We would just sign them.

stozo Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Never seen him play but fron the .com report and the wikipedia site it seems like he is a striker who can't score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morph Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 fuck me. can't we go for someone who can score, and who isn't a complete fuckwit. If he can't make the Partizan team, what makes them think he'll be any good for us? He reminds me of Ade Akinbiyi for some reason lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 More likely to be a Rossi replacement as Rossi will be heading back to Man U. Makes sense as we don't need a big name to back up Martins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iklgizmo Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 totally makes sense, he wont cost much so its not a big gamble. Hopefully the big money will be spent on defenders. We need a stop gap striker, not a world famous one with a huge rep and a huge wage demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you honestly sit there and tell me that Craig Moore has been a success at this club? I don't dislike Moore, i think he is an alright defender. But i think both Taylor and Ramage have proved to be a better partnership than Moore and someone. Plus, he didn't play for us until like March. :?

He was a hell of a lot better than most gave him credit for and was a big part in helping us reach 7th last year so in regards to peoples expectations (like they are having already about Boya) he more than exceeded them imo. Same with peoples expectations of Butt when he came back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 We will have to wait and see what Glenn thinks of him in training. He more likely to be a stop gap until Owen gets back if he's any good. On another note, if fills me with confidence with Glenn appointing his own scouts, apparently they spotted Drogba when he was a Guingamp in the Ligue 2. and look at him now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Serbia Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I see Pierre Boya many more times , but Boya is not STRIKER!!! Boya is very strong player and He is much bigger than Martins. Boya is attacking midfielder but Boya is not very quick. For me , Boya is not player for premier league standard. Trust Me!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NUFC4 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 if boya is quality enough on the training ground why not bring him in? he's still fairly young and as stated before would just be a small fee to replace rossi perminently. once owen and ameobi are back next term we shant need a high priced world class stiker anyhow. spend the real transfer bank on DEFENDERS!!!
