Transfer Talk: Newcastle United Danny Simpson And Fraser Forster Expected To Start Preseason

 

Danny Simpson could stay at Newcastle United according to manager Alan Pardew.

 

 

The 25-year-old and the Magpies have been at loggerheads over a new deal for the last 12 months, and Simpson rejected their latest offer at the end of last season.

 

That action only served to accelerate the uncertainty around his future with West Ham, Fulham and QPR all reportedly interested in him.

 

However, as his first-team squad prepare to return for pre-season fitness tests, Pardew was optimistic about his right-back's future.

 

"He's got a year left on his deal," he told The Chronicle.

 

"He turned down a new contract and that's where we are. Danny could play the whole season next year. We'll have to see."

 

Pardew is also expecting Fraser Forster to report back for pre-season training at Newcastle, with the goalkeeper yet to secure a switch elsewhere.

 

The highly-rated shot-stopper has been deemed surplus to requirements in recent years.

 

He spent the 2009/10 campaign with Norwich City, and the last two seasons with SPL giants Celtic.

 

The Hoops are known to be keen on doing a deal, but nothing has been agreed with Newcastle.

 

West Ham United and Southampton are also reported to be weighing up an approach, but they too have yet to make a move.

 

Pardew told the Evening Chronicle: "At the moment he is coming back to us.

 

"He will be with us until he finds a club and we find a fee that works for us."

Unless we have some young fullbacks coming through the ranks, it's highly unlikely that we'll have a backup RB better than Simpson.

 

If he's willing to stay without guarantees of first-team league football, that would be the best outcome IMO.

True BUT can't see him wanting that, him turning up for pre season don't mean he will be here by the end on the transfer window.

Oh aye, I agree, I was responding to someone saying he wouldn't be good backup.

Perch showed him up at the back end of the season and Santon can play RB if needs be. Plus the Taylor twins in an emergency.
