NUFC defender Steven Taylor says he's here to stay

“I’ve got another year on my contract after this, and all I want to do is get back in the Premier League with this football club – then I’ll be happy.”

Taylor added: “If the club wanted to sell me, I can’t do anything about that. But you can’t predict what the future holds.”

Meanwhile, while facing a battle to agree terms with on-loan Danny Simpson on a permanent move to St James’ Park, Newcastle have considered the option of a bid to re-sign old boy Bradley Orr.

Orr, a midfielder during his days in the reserves at United, has long since switched to right-back at Bristol City.

The 27-year-old Scouser is one of several players being considered by United boss Chris Hughton as an alternative to Simpson, whose loan spell at St James’ ends after tomorrow night’s clash with West Brom.

Striker Peter Lovenkrands may miss the Baggies game after returning to Denmark to be with his family following the death of his father.
