Oba target is title for Toon
Oct 6 2006
By Lee Ryder, The Evening Chronicle
Oba Martins has hinted he could return to Inter Milan - but only after getting his hands on silverware with Newcastle United.
The £10m man has netted three times since taking over the No 9 shirt in August, and is beginning to look the part for Glenn Roeder's side.
And he said today: "I'd never say never (to a return to the San Siro), but before that I want to win the title with Newcastle.
"I'm feeling better here all the time."

Martins has been helped to settle in at United by former Nigerian international colleague Celestine Babayaro and his ex-Inter pal Emre.
And speaking on his settling-in period at United, Martins added: "The period of adaptation is ending. English football is really exciting.
"The language isn't a problem, the club hold me in high esteem, my team-mates too, and I already had a friend here in Emre.
"We live really close and we frequently speak about Inter."
Martins will arrive in South Africa today to link up with his team-mates for Sunday's 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho.
