Just found out some very upsetting news that Armstrong is a big Red. Imagine he won't flinch at a move down the line. What a shame.

Quite sure Liverpool won’t be making a move for Armstrong though to be fair with the players they’ve been signing. I think we’re safe there.

Wasn’t necessarily meaning Liverpool DPP. Being a red, there will likely be no sentiment there.

Carrager was a big blue didn't stop him from turning.

Peter Reid was a big RS.

Means absolutely nothing.

I am not calling the lads application into question for a second. You can see he is a born winner, mentality wise.
Definitely matters that he is a Red though. If a club comes calling, nothing keeping him here at all. Quite the opposite.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think it matters one jot BN myself..

Gordon was a blue; didn’t stop him going.
Rooney was a blue; didn’t stop him going.
Sure there are plenty of other examples of blues going. Don’t think being a red makes a difference. They would leave to try and win silverware or advance their career. That’s where we need to improve. Win something. Get into a decent Euro comp. Do something that makes us attractive to join.
Who you support as a kid doesn’t matter when you are being paid big bucks by someone. Money buys loyalty these days.
Seamus and Pickford buck the trend but there are many who you could refer to as glory hunters.

What a pointless post that was.

Inclined to agree that it matters Bluenose. after all had it not been for Fowler, McManaman and Carragher (amongst many others, and obviously the last named is a horrific human) being massive blues I'm sure they wouldn't have had quite such long and distinguished careers for Everton. Oh, hang on.

Yeah, I guess you are right BR. Things are certainly are different these days regarding loyalty and money etc. That being said, I still think it plays a part for some.
I thought AG was a Red? I am almost certain.
Fjefc13, why was it pointless? He is one of the best youth products, if not thee best that we have seen since Rooney. To hear that he is a Red and not Blue is certainly not welcomed by myself. To imply that being a Red and playing for us doesn’t hold any weight in the lads future is simply naive.
