January Transfer Window

[222lepo]

Lucas Andersen has put a nice "thank you" post up on his instagram that reads very like a "goodye".

I'd assume it means he's not getting an extension to his contract that's up this summer AND it could even mean he's being nudged out the door this month?

Sorry, I dunno how to link to insta but it's easy enough to find.

Here is Lucas Andersens post.

"2024 - It’s been one of the most exciting years in our life as a family, it has everything joy, tears, happiness, sadness, lonely and together ! Met so many new people that have become close friends. Kids going from no English to speaking it in no time. Thank you to QPR for giving me the opportunity and to the fans for supporting me from day one!!! We can’t wait to see what 2025 brings! Thank you friends family and loved ones! ."

I don't read that as a Goodbye. It's more like appreciation for the club.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that I think... the photo accompanying it is a photo of the back of him and his kids walking away from the camera. The main thing is context though.... from Jan 1st, any player whose contract is up this summer is free to enter discussions about a move away. We will have made our intentions to Lucas clear - he'd have been told we don't want him after May OR offered him a new contract.

Whether he's jumping or being pushed, that Insta post strongly suggests he's not here next season. But, it veers so far into "eulogy" territory my impression is he might be off during this window.

Yes, purely speculation on my part but I'd find that a weird "thank you" to make midseason if you had a future/contract here like say, Nardi has.

Agree it does read like that

Yeah fair points, well made. We will see I suppose.
