The Portuguese star was back in his homeland over the weekend to help with the draw for Euro 2004, and whilst there he confirmed his unhappiness with is limited chances at Newcastle.

"I do not feel myself either physically or psychologically," he admitted to the local Lisbon press.

"The last two games I have played in have gone very bad."

Viana admitted he wanted another club, before the European Championships - as currently he has little chance of making Luis Felipe Scolari's squad.

"Any club would please me," he continued.

"All that interests me is to play well and feel right.

"To play for Newcastle would be the best option, but as I am not, to leave would satisfy me."

Viana, who has a handful of senior caps, admitted playing for the senior squad was his main aim.

"I am not disappointed at playing for the Under-21s, but the priority is the main team and for that reason I am going to fight," he added.

Newcastle manager Sir Bobby Robson is unlikely to be happy with Viana's comments, having already reacted angrily to similar remarks made by Laurent Robert and Tresor Lomana Lua Lua this season.
