Liverpool Twitter Reacts to Bizarre War of Wards Between Jamie Carragher and Bobby Duncan's Agent
Bobby Duncan's agent caused quite the stir on Wednesday by releasing a statement on behalf of his client informing Liverpool that he will never play for the club again.

Liverpool have since released an official statement rejecting Rubie's initial allegations and outlining their 'disappointment'. Meanwhile, it seems even Duncan himself has distanced himself from his controversial agent. Oops...
