Transfer deadline day on 06:54 - Feb 2 by traininvain
I know Willock’s not exactly flavour of the month on here but he’s managed five goal contributions under Cifuentes which is more than anyone else in our squad. Like him or not, he’s got the quality to win games at this level.
I wouldn’t be starting him tomorrow but it would be a bit daft to move him on for a player who’s unproven in the championship and we know very little about aside from hearing that he has the same chequered injury record as Willock.
I hear what you're saying but I question his attitude and how that impacts the rest of the team.
Anderson would at least be fighting for a contract, assuming it would be short term Incase we get relegated.
Farewell time for AaB and Lucas Andersen 2 February 2024 at 00:43 Lucas Andersen and AaB have terminated the contract by mutual agreement. Lucas Andersen returned home to AaB in August 2018 – six years after he was sold to Ajax Amsterdam.
Already at the age of ten, Lucas Andersen first came to AaB from the partner club Aalborg Freja, and with his dribbling, his overview, his love for AaB and much more, he quickly became a fan favorite and later captain of the club.
AaB's sports director Ole Jan Kappmeier says:
- We all know Lucas' history in AaB, and therefore it is also with sadness that we say goodbye now.
- A Lucas at his top level is still one of the best players in Danish football and one of the best in AaB's history, but we are happy that he now has the opportunity to pursue a new dream. He has earned it, says Ole Jan Kappmeier.
- During the time I have known Lucas, his dedication, loyalty and great feelings for AaB have shone through, and we wish him all the best in the future, concludes Ole Jan Kappmeier.
Lucas Andersen, who is AaB's sixth youngest ever debutant after his arrival on 5 March 2011 at the age of 16 years and 173 days, is looking forward to a new project:
- The time has come for me to try something new, and I therefore want to thank everyone in AaB who has crossed my path. In addition, a big thank you must go to our fantastic fans, who have always supported me and the team.
- I am looking forward to getting to a place where a new challenge can contribute to raising my level, says Lucas Andersen.
29-year-old Lucas Andersen has achieved 176 official matches, 29 goals and 30 assists for the All North Jutland Team.
Likewise, seven A international matches and 72 U international matches for Denmark are part of the provisional career.

The deck chairs have been rearranged but will we sink or swim?
Not rearranging, replacing…….big difference.
Shifting Dozzell and replacing two players that couldn’t really get a sniff of first team action, with two Premier league standard ( albeit non regulars) and an (ex) Swiss international looks like progress to me.
How quickly we can get them fit and available to play is now the key to how much impact they can make on the remaining fixtures.
Kudos to Christian for making this happen. Over to you now Marti, to get us above that line.

Creative attacking midfielder who has tended to play wide but drifting inside in a 433, but can also play as a 10. Great technique, good eye for the goal but a little hit and miss last season. Not seen anything of him this season as AaB are not in the Superliga.
We've replaced Dozzell, SDM and Kelman with Hayden, Hodge and Frey. Without seeing any of them play, all 3 look to be an upgrade. I doubt if we'll see Dozzell nor SDM again, although their replacements are only loans for the rest of the season. In addition, Deon Woodman has gone on loan, although I'd hoped he'd find something better than Wealdstone. 3 other youngsters have been released. All in all I'd say QPR have had a good transfer window.

Marti C on Joe H: “He can play as an ‘8’ or as a ‘10’. He can also play as a ‘6’ but his natural position is an attacking midfielder, and he has determination to improve himself as a player.”
Q. from me: what is the difference between an '8' and a '10'....(other than two).....and what does a '7' do?
Crudely, my understanding is that nowadays a 6 is a holding midfielder; an 8 is a box to box central midfielder; a 10 historically was a forward who played deeper in front of the centre halves behind the oppo’s 6, as opposed to a 9 who occupied the centre halves, but now is also considered an attacking central midfielder; a 7was your right midfielder, and 11 your left winger, typically.
Basically we had two 6s in Colback and Field. You could argue Colback in his prime also could play the role of a 8. Now we have Hayden who can play 6 or 8, and Hodges, who can play 8 or 10. It gives us more balance in the squad and more options.
Anderson is an 11, which may enable us to play Chair at 10, or simply give him competition for his spot.

Anderson can also play 10.
Personally I would prefer chair back in a traditional number 10 position, Central.

Q. from me: what is the difference between an '8' and a '10'....(other than two).....and what does a '7' do?
From chatGPT ...
Position: The '8' typically refers to a central midfielder, specifically a box-to-box midfielder. '8' players often have good stamina, passing ability, and defensive skills.
Position: The '10' refers to an attacking midfielder who usually operates in a more advanced central role. '10' players are typically playmakers, with good vision, passing accuracy, and creativity.
Position: The '7' is usually the right winger or right-sided forward in a team's formation. '7' players are often known for their speed, dribbling ability, and crossing skills.

Just read on AAB club website that Lucas Andersen has terminated his contract with them and is now a free agent . I also read that he was having a medical at the Bush yesterday so maybe another one in. Just looked at a Youtube post of him. He takes free kicks, corners, penalties and has got a long throw and brings his own ball!

His interview, by the standards of these things usually, is terrific. Enjoyed the two minutes on individual accountability in a relegation battle. He'll love some of ours...

I think that as he is now a free agent he didn't have to sign within the window. Makes sense that he probably has or will sign a pre-contract agreement with us subject to medical, contract terms, international clearance etc etc. This takes time and as Hayden and Hodge probably took all our time yesterday Andersen will be announced in the coming days.

"If he plays as well as he speaks, you'll be all right".
My mum has spoken.
Seriously, though, that was a great interview. If he can translate those encouraging words into actions on the pitch, *if,* we have a decent chance of pulling off the great escape.

Our back four is at sixes & sevens and the midfield's in a right two & eight.
