Simpson hoping to sign for Newcastle
Danny Simpson has conceded that he would consider any offer to sign for Newcastle United on a permanent basis, either in January or the Summer transfer window.
The Manchester United right back is enjoying his spell on loan at St. James’ Park and inists the locals are very similar to where he grew up in Salford, in that they all support the local team.
“I grew up in Salford and everyone’s a Man United fan – everyone at school and all my family,” Simpson said. “I support United – it’s my club – but I’ve come up to Newcastle, and there’s no difference. Everyone’s mad about Newcastle.”
Simpson recognizes how slim his chances are of breaking into the firs team at United ahead of Brown, O’ Shea, Neville and Rafael, and is hoping that Newcastle manager Chris Hughton will offer him a permanent contract.
“I’m enjoying my football here, and if I do well enough to get an offer, then I’ll consider it, as I’m enjoying my football at the moment,” he added. “I just want to get as many games under my belt as I can until January. It’s nice to be wanted, and it would be nice at the end of the loan spell for Chris and all the staff to say they want me to stay. Hopefully, my performances will warrant that. You want to play on a Saturday afternoon, and I’m no different. I’ve been in and around different clubs. I had a spell where I didn’t play and was on the bench, and I’ve had times when I was playing, and I know what I’d prefer. You want to train Monday to Friday, and play on a Saturday. That’s just me and the way I am.”

Always thought Danny would have made it at United, but there’s way too much competition for his place these days. He’s done well for us on the few times I’ve seen him, but e’d have no chance of getting a game now.
