Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has reiterated his desire to keep Danny Simpson at the club.

The Manchester United full-back was due to return to Old Trafford on Tuesday after a reported £500,000 move fell through.

But both clubs are thought to have agreed a fee and Hughton is still hopeful of keeping the 23-year-old at the Championship leaders on a permanent basis.

He revealed further talks were due to take place on Tuesday with the player, who has previously spoken of his desire to stay at the club.


Hughton told the Newcastle Chronicle: "Danny's one that we're still working on.

"Once he's out on that pitch, he's a very committed player who will give everything.

"I'll have to see him, but officially, he's a Manchester United player until it's decided otherwise.

"We're still working and making decisions. The most important thing is to bring in the lads we need in the areas we need, and we'd like to do that as soon as possible."

Hughton was suitably impressed with Simpson's performance in the 2-2 draw with fellow Championship high-fliers West Brom at St James' Park on Monday.

He added: "I thought he was excellent.

"He was up against a very good, free-flowing player in Jerome Thomas. He's a good athlete and runner, but Danny was there, and we sorely needed him."

With Gary Nev reportedly retiring at the end of this season, and SAF liking to send the 'reserves' out on loan, is there a future for Danny at OT? His 1st team chances were limited when he broke through, as Gary was a fixture in the right back roll. Now, are the twins and O'Shea the answer?

Plans for a permanent training base for the England team have been revived by the Football Association.
The 330-acre National Football Centre in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, will be renamed St George's Park.
It will feature 12 pitches, including one synthetic and indoor, plus sports medicine and sports science facilities, two hotels and a conference centre.
England boss Fabio Capello said: "It will be an inspirational site for coaches and players to develop."
The scheme, which will fulfil a similar role to France's Clairefontaine and Coverciano in Italy, was first announced eight years ago.
Since then, the FA have sunk £25m into the project.
Capello added: "This is a much-needed facility and through my own experiences at Coverciano in Italy I understand the importance of the centre for England."
NFC chairman David Sheepshanks stated: "Our aim is to make St George's Park a sporting destination of choice for coaches, players, administrators and officials alike.
"In Wembley we have a world-class stadium and in St George's Park we have the place to inspire world-class performance."
The League Managers Association have committed to making the new centre their future headquarters.
The plans also include a private housing scheme for 30 homes near the entrance to the centre that will help plug a funding gap.

This cannot be a white elephant, and there is a robust business plan that makes this viable and sustainable
NFC chairman David Sheepshanks
Sheepshanks told a news conference in Burton: "We feel it is time the NFC had a new identity and we hope this name St George's Park will reflect the sense of national pride that will accompany the centre when it is open.
"Every single leading European country has a national football centre - even Bulgaria - and we are the only leading European country that does not.
"Every country that has won the World Cup has one apart from us."
Sheepshanks insisted, however, that the St George's Park development, which is being sponsored by Umbro, would not be a mere replica of other centres, and would not be a youth academy but would be a base for all England senior, junior and disability teams.
He added: "We are not here to replicate any one of the other centres, we have been to look at them and share best practices to pick up the best ideas to serve our needs.
"This is not a finishing school for young players, that role is carried out very well by the Premier League and Football League clubs.
"This is not an academy and is not in competition with our professional clubs."
There has been some opposition to the location of the centre so far from London but Sheepshanks said Burton was a central point for the whole country, and stressed that it would not be a financial burden on the FA.
"This cannot be a white elephant, and there is a robust business plan that makes this viable and sustainable," he added.

I like the name! Should conjure up a fighting spirit. Also, a proper training centre with it's own identity is a positive move forward.
