Leeds United fans react to Jansson exit – £5.5m transfer bid mentioned

That’s it, or so it appears. Leeds United and Pontus Jansson are to part their ways. In divorce terms there will be cited irreconcilable differences.

It was mooted by many, whispered by some but in the end the breakdown between club and player isn’t that much of a surprise. He’s been absent from the club for a while, hasn’t featured in the first week back of pre-season and the rumour level has been ramped up to max.

Supporters had pondered on his absence from pre-season and some had put forward excuses mainly in the hope that it could all be explained away. It couldn’t be. It seems that whatever goodwill had existed between player and club was gone, destroyed in a way. This was all too apparent in the following tweet from former Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Phil Hay:

Hay’s words were like a punch to the chest of many Leeds United fans who’ve grown to love his robust attitude and that sense of calmness and coolness that he brought to the Whites backline. The worrying part about it is that the club aren’t, apparently, happy with his attitude – that one word can cover a whole host of varying connotations.

An offer has been made for Jansson, and it is a low-ball offer indeed that doesn’t really reflect his worth bearing in mind his age and international status. As Hay furhter seems to confirm (below) it is “£5.5m” and it has been lodged “from another English club.”

As stark as day it sits; Leeds United want rid due to his attitude and the influence the club feel it is having on the dressing room. Thoughts of one bad apple and spoiling of a bunch spring to mind; it seems that what the Whites are doing is something drastic yet, at the same time, preventative.

Whatever it is that they are doing, you could have bet your last bits of pocket change that Leeds United fans would comment. Here’s what some of them have said about the fact that Jansson is being moved on.

It’s only at the rumour stage at the moment. When it reaches the confirmed stage, then expect far more colourful outpourings than are happening at present.
