‘What a season this will be’ – 8 things Leeds supporters are saying about journalist’s key update

The exits at Elland Road look set to continue in the coming weeks, with Marcus Antonsson looking like he will be the next Leeds United player to depart.  

After weeks of speculation, Phil Hay from the Yorkshire Evening Post has confirmed that Antonsson looks set for a move to Malmo, rejecting the opportunity to join Brescia in favour of a return to Sweden.

Marcus Antonsson to Malmo should go ahead. Permanent deal. Brescia wanted him but he’s heading back to Sweden. #lufc

The 27-year-old has made just 21 appearances for Leeds over the course of two years, with Leeds sending him out on-loan to Blackburn Rovers last season.

Antonsson scored three goals for the Whites, with a permanent move away from Elland Road now looking a formality for the striker.

As expected, there was a sea of reaction to the news.

Here is the best of it…

That means 9 outgoings and 2 incoming. What a season this will be

A bit of s shame with Marcus Antonsson. Another example of a player not working out for us & for the benefit of his career probably the right move but do think he has some talent. #lufc #MOT

Good stuff Phil lovely lad & honest pro & probably didn’t get a fair crack at it but imho he was absolutely miles off a top 6 Championship player wish him both but success for his future career #lufc

Think there is a good player there, never played to his strengths under Monk, shoehorned him into the formation

So we only have Roofe up front? And not even an option on the bench? What is actually going on?!

It’s like having a car boot sale, get rid of what you don’t want to then go to the shops to buy newer and better, relax, time to panic come first game of the season if we’ve not bought in the 5-6 quality players biesla wants

So that another one out the door and still know one coming in at this rate they be asking any one fancy a kick about against Stoke

With Leeds looking to get bodies out of the door, Antonsson’s departure was inevitable.

The striker struggled in England and this seems like a good move for all parties.

Leeds fans… Let us know your thoughts!
