Scottish Mag 3 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 From .com Our former European opponents Partizan Belgrade confirm that they have allowed their striker Pierre Boya 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.
