Supporters of Liverpool have reacted to Bobby Duncan’s impending loan move from Fiorentina to League One side, Sunderland.
According to the Athletic’s James Pearce who shares the Athletic’s transfer chat, the former Reds youngster ‘is set to join Sunderland on loan’ from his current Serie A side, which had some fans slating the 18-year-old.
Former #LFC youngster Bobby Duncan set to join Sunderland on loan. Great move for him after a frustrating time in Italy.

That big move worked out then? If only he’d been patient, he’d probably be playing at Anfield next Tuesday in the FA Cup

The former Anfield youngster departed Merseyside for a £1.8-million fee over the summer amid claims of ‘mental bullying’ during his time with the Reds (as per The Guardian).
However, the 18-year-old forward has not yet featured for his new club’s first team and solely Fiorentina’s second team (per Transfermarkt), which was the route of Liverpool fans’ slating.
He was at Liverpool and now he’s going to clean boots at Sunderland, wrong choices and listening to the wrong people,such big decisions for young footballers to make.

Good move for him, but the lad should of been getting ready to play for his boyhood club, in the fa cup at Anfield, in front of over 54.000, but instead he took the advice of an absolute clown.

He’s another Jerome Sinclair! He’s completely damaged goods. Been on strike at his last 3 clubs!

Such a shame if he had listened to Stevie G his cousin and kept his head down and worked his way through the tiers at Liverpool he would eventually get into the first team.

Couldn’t care less. Let his agent run rampant and has a shocking attitude. Destined to be a flop

What do we think?
Considering that the lad is just an 18-year-old and left the club under the claims of ‘mental bullying’ the response from Liverpool fans seems pretty harsh.
Yes, he left the Reds on seemingly bad terms, but he is a young lad trying to make his career in football. Just because he left Liverpool and fans are not happy about it, does not mean that he should be treated with such little respect.
