[edit] Biography
He started his career with
French team
Le Havre before joining
AJ Auxerre
A long time target for then
Liverpool F.C. manager
Gérard Houllier, the press speculated that it was only a matter of time before Boumsong signed for Liverpool. However, as Boumsong was a free agent with no price to be paid to his club Auxerre, his agent, the
Monaco based Scot
Willie McKay negotiated the best sign-on fee to the player for Boumsong from
Rangers, based in
Glasgow,
Scotland. The deal supposedly included a clause that, should Rangers sell Boumsong within a period of time (speculated as two years), that they would receive a large percentage of the sign-on fee returned.
[edit] Rangers and Newcastle
As a result, Boumsong joined
Alex McLeish at
Rangers in 2004 and signed a five year contract. However, halfway through the 2004-05 season,
Newcastle made an £8 million bid for him, which Rangers accepted in a deal that was finalized once the January 2005
transfer window opened. Boumsong signed a 5½-year contract with the Magpies. However, as Boumsong had played the requisite number of games for Rangers that season, he still received a Scottish Championship Winners Medal, despite having been a Newcastle player for around five months by the time Rangers won the title.
Boumsong's initial performances at Newcastle were promising, but rapidly degenerated after two costly errors in a league game against Manchester United the following season. Reputedly compounded by personal problems, Bounsong's on-field difficulties multiplied rapidly thereafter, leading many to question his £8 million price tag. By the time of his departure, Boumsong's experience at Newcastle was widely held as exemplifying Newcastle United's extravagance in paying inflated transfer fees for players of limited quality.
His transfer from
Rangers to
Newcastle United in January 2005 is one of those about which the
Stevens inquiry report in June 2007 expressed concerns:
“There remains inconsistencies in evidence provided by Graeme Souness - a former manager of the club - and Kenneth Shepherd - apparently acting in an undefined role but not as a club official - as to their respective roles in transfer negotiations.” “The inquiry is still awaiting clarification from agent Willie McKay”[1].
[edit] Juventus
On
22 August 2006 Boumsong joined the recently
Serie B relegated
Juventus for a fee of €4.8 million (£3.26 million), with future incentives promised to Newcastle relating to Juventus' future performance. Juventus drew the very first match 1-1 in which he played, the goal was conceded due to Boumsong's error.
[citation needed] In September 2006 Boumsong scored his first Juventus goal in a game against Crotone where Juventus won 3-0.
Valeri Bojinov scored the other two goals.
[edit] International
Boumsong made his
France debut against
Japan in 2003, and went with the squad for
Euro 2004, although he only made a brief appearance coming on as a substitute in one game.
He established himself as a regular starter in the national team in the
2006 World Cup qualifiers, and was called up to the squad for the 2006 World Cup, but did not see any game action during the competition because of
Lillian Thuram's return to the team.
