KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Bobby Duncan update: What a fool!

So, since forcing his move - no first team games for Fiorentina, not even on the bench. Sacked his agent twice - and now Fiorentina want to unload but can't because he's already played for two clubs this season. Sunderland are looking into getting permission. This kid, a cousin of a club legend, completely wrecked his career by being big-headed and impatient. Young players take note - this is how not to conduct yourself.

In before someone slates you for not knowing the full story and how he was just a kid with a dream.

Caused by a bad agent I think. But these young players need to realise that our first team plays on a different level to everyone else. They should watch, observe and learn from the best and appreciate that rather than get impatient.

Goes to show a year is a short time in football. Last season look at the giant strides made by Sancho. The year before it was TAA. This year has seen Duncan plummet in the other direction like many before him.

Maybe his cousin will take him under his wing at Rangers?

Just another example of a poorly educated, poorly advised young footballer.

His loan move is off, now.

If he was not impatient he would still be at City

Gerard would be best staying well clear of him, wouldn't be good for either of them, the press would be all over them sniffing for any trouble, he needs yo goto a lower league club and rebuild his reputation, I'm sure if his ego/attitude will allow him to do that.

Has anyone seen him play? was he any good? he was going to be the next big thing after Brewster I read, shame to waster such talent, hopefully he can sort himself out.

He was scoring goals for fun in the u23s. Brewster had injury most of last season so not sure they played much together. Legend has it he thought he should be in the first team squad and this is where the trouble started.

He can't be that good or Fiorentina would have given him a start or two. It's hard though thinking about it which was the bravest thing to do. Coming out with what he supposedly thought or actually making a move to a foreign country. Young English players have done well in some European countries but not heard of one ripping up trees in Italy.

Maybe he thought he could do what Sancho has done in Germany. Being at City he must have had his head turned by what that lad did going to Dortmund and what he achieved.

I wonder if he is brave enough to apologise and ask to come back? I don't think we have heard the end of him somehow.

Emre is another guy who thought he can cut it elsewhere, now he left juve for Dortmund because of lack of game time. He should of stayed as I liked him, he was constantly improving under Klopp.

Always suprised Can left, he must be pretty confident in his ability to think he'd get more game time in Juve's midfield. Always thought he was ok but never a world beater. Only annoyance was not getting a fee.
Wonder what players like him and Phil think looking on and knowing what they could've been a part of.
