OPINION
As expected, a lot of Liverpool fans on Twitter are furious with Bobby Duncan’s agent after Saif Rubie released a statement on Twitter accusing the club of “mental bullying”. Duncan wants to quit Anfield but it seems as though sporting director Michael Edwards is unwilling to let the 18-year-old go for the money that is currently on offer. While that happens in football and Duncan has another year left on his contract, this is now at a point where the Reds should simply get rid of him, to cut their losses more than anything else. After that happens, Duncan needs to sack Rubie. He is clearly the type of agent who gives all the good, hard-working agents a bad name. He was Saido Berahino’s agent when he tried to force a move away from West Brom so when you do a big of digging about him, something like this does not seem at all surprising. Rubie prays on young footballers and throws his toys out of the pram when things don’t go his way. He is a toxic presence in the beautiful game.

Yeah shame on Liverpool for keeping a player who has a contract that he signed?! What an awful, unprofessional statement on your part

Keep mentioning the small salary ?. Your client missed a year of football & you seemingly want him to miss even more. Football is a ridiculously short career & you are letting Bobby ruin his. I think maybe rather than a new club he needs a new agent!

What exacty made him unhappy and wanting to leave such a club at this age??? It looks like he has been getting some very bad advice.
He’s at the best club to have a great career, with the best manager to develop him, but apparently he’s unhappy and desperate to leave?— Liverpool Red (@lfcredynwa) August 28, 2019
