OPINION
Swansea fans appear reigned to losing winger Daniel James as the long-running transfer saga with Leeds ramped up on Monday.
First Swansea forward Oli McBurnie deleted a tweet that he posted saying “He’s not going anywhere”, before the Sun’s transfer expert Alan Nixon said that Leeds were set to make a “proper bid”.
This was then followed by Swansea manager Graham Potter confirming that the two clubs were in talks, and that they would likely go on until deadline day.
Finally, the Sun reported that Leeds had tabled a bid worth a total of £10m, including add-ons.
This hasn’t left the Swansea fans feeling at all optimistic about hanging onto their player and they weren’t feeling any better after a fan said that he’d heard from a reasonably reliable source that James to Leeds was on.
He said he hoped the money would be used to buy 16,000 white flags so the fans could emulate the owners.
This led to Swansea fans flocking onto Twitter where they let their anger show. Some fans said they wouldn’t renew their season tickets if he was sold, while another said there “will be riots tomorrow night” if he is sold.
Here are the best reactions from angry Swansea fans:
Dan James to Leeds is on so I'm told by a reasonably reliable source.
I hope the club are going to use the funds to buy 16,000 white flags for everyone to wave tomorrow to allow us to join in the actions of the owners. pic.twitter.com/amPLhbJRoI

So OMB has deleted his tweet saying DJ isn't going anywhere.
That season ticket renewal I had planned for this evening is going to sting.

If that’s the case then there will be riots tomorrow night!

Oli being censored by the club? or something equally as disturbing. not sure if the Americans quite realise the backlash from the fans, if they flog DJ!

Selling Dan James to Leeds will show the clear intentions of Jenkins and these American owners. It’s true that not one penny of that money will be reinvested back into the playing infrastructure. Interesting few days ahead.
