Many Leeds United supporters have been responding to a Twitter post from the BBC’s Simon Stone in which he reports the Whites have made offers to Manchester United for Daniel James.
Marcelo Bielsa has long been an admirer of the Welsh winger and according to Stone, the club has tried to persuade the Red Devils to part ways with their player with both offers to take him on loan and sign him on a permanent deal having been presented to their Premier League rivals.
Following this post, here is how a sample of the Elland Road faithful have responded.
That’s fine, if he comes great. If not, we’ll be fine

Lost interest in him, signing raphina instead.

Would you have preferred to see the club bring in James over Raphinha?
Yes
No

Same ‘fake news’ BBC were saying James to Leeds for £25m yesterday. Idiots.

The 22-year-old was left out of the Manchester United squad which suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, adding to fuel the speculation regarding his future.
Leeds United are reportedly close to completing the signing of Raphinha from Rennes who is also a winger and, therefore, taking that into account, a deal for James before the deadline, in our view, may be unlikely.
