This afternoon, all things Leeds United related on Twitter began to go crazy. This was after rumours began to circulate that if Marcelo Bielsa was to be announced as Leeds United manager, that the West-Yorkshire side could look to sign Fernando Torres who is currently a free agent, as unlikely as it sounds.
Although such a deal seems both outrageous and impossible, you never quite know what can happen in the footballing world and this afternoon, Leeds United fans have taken to social media to give their somewhat contrasting opinions on the Torres rumours.
There were the excited reactions:
