Bobby Duncan attacks agent Saif Rubie over his bitter transfer to Fiorentina 

Former Liverpool youth star Bobby Duncan has hit out as his former agent Saif Rubie for ‘jeopardising his career.’

Duncan was a promising young player at Liverpool but left in controversial fashion in 2019, after Rubie accused the club of ‘mental bullying’ and not allowing the then-teenager to leave the club.

The youngster joined Fiorentina shortly afterwards but struggled to make an impact in Serie A. 

After a spell with Derby, he now plays in the Spanish third division with Real Balompedica Linense.

Despite the accusations he levelled at Liverpool in, Raif recently claimed on TalkSPORT that he had urged Duncan to stay at the club.

He said: ‘Can I tell you something in that particular case? I actually advised him to stay at Liverpool and you have to understand one thing, which is what I was trying to tell you guys, my job is to do the best for whoever is telling me to help them whether it be the player, a buying club or a selling club.

‘In that particular case, you can choose to believe me or not, I thought him staying was the best outcome. It wasn’t meant to be and in the end it got a bit ugly with Liverpool which is unfortunate.’

Duncan hit back at this on twitter today. He said: ‘I didn’t have a decision nor say as you took it upon yourself to jeopardise my career and to turn a local lad away from his boyhood club and leave me and my family to pick up all the pieces. 

‘I should never have trusted my career in your hands. I have learnt my harsh lesson there. And I just pray you have learnt yours as it could ruin another young boys career.’
