These Liverpool fans react to the latest report from the Daily Mail stating: “Former Liverpool striker Bobby Duncan has been snapped up by one of Europe’s leading agencies.”
The Daily Mail also stated that with the help of his new agent “Duncan could now be heading out on loan this month to gain more senior experience.”
The 18-year-old started his footballing career in Wigan’s youth setup, before being picked up by Manchester City.
Duncan later was bought by Liverpool U18s for £207k in July 2018, but after complications, the centre-forward moved to his current club Fiorentina U19s for £1.62m.
Here is what the Liverpool fans had to say about the latest Bobby Duncan news after Anfield Edition relayed it to them on Twitter:

Bobby Duncan has been playing well for Fiorentina U19s, featuring eight times in the Primavera 1 and scoring three goals from the centre-forward position.
These Liverpool fans seem to be enjoying the fact Duncan is not thriving at Fiorentina’s senior side, however, it is important to remember that he is 18 years old, so you can expect a mistake or two from the young centre-forward.
Hahahahaha @Kevbyrne90

Would you take Bobby Duncan back at Anfield?
Yes, he's amazing!
No way!
What Do We Think?
This kind of shows that the grass is not always greener elsewhere, as leaving Liverpool’s U18s for Fiorentina’s U19s is not the greatest career leap he will ever make.
However, it is important to mention his age again, at just 18 years old Duncan still has a long career ahead of him and just needs to focus on putting what has happened behind him, we hope that he can gain some solid senior game time if going out on loan.
