Both Graeme Souness and Glenn Roeder offered Boa Morte a career at St James' Park, and both times he said "no". Does Boa Morte Regret Snubbing Newcastle?
Both Graeme Souness and Glenn Roeder offered Boa Morte a career at St James' Park, and both times he said "no". The Portuguese has endured a tough 18 months with the Hammers since moving from Fulham last January, with the supporters never taking to the Portuguese international.
The situation has worsened in recent months, with Boa Morte regularly singled out for abuse by the home crowd, leading the former Arsenal man to declare his unhappiness at his current condition at the club.
Boa Morte: "I have two years left on my contract at West Ham but I don't like the situation and we'll see what happens in the summer.
"I will sit down with the chairman and the manager and speak to them about it to find the best solution. Nobody likes to get booed every week when your name is read out and when you touch the ball, so it is not a good situation."
