Kerkez has stoked the flames by liking 2 Fabrizio Romano posts about Mo and Virg signing new contracts.

Still a Utd fan for me so no ta.
10 Apr 2025 21:25:23
He is a kid that supported united, so what?
I don’t get this tbh.
He’s a professional sportsman, it won’t matter one iota.

Macmanaman, Fowler, Owen, Lallana, Rush, McMahon, Carragher. All supported Everton. Yep, there's a judas in there, but by and large I'm happy they played for us.
Lampard supported West Ham, Modric supported Barca, De Bruyne supported Liverpool (pity we never got him, he could've overlapped with Gerrard! ), Terry supported Man Utd, Bale supported Arsenal, Solksjaer supported Liverpool, Sterling supported Man Utd, Pogba supported Arsenal.
Do you think any of the clubs where these players made their names gave two hoots who they used to support whilst they were scoring for their team?

Bit ridiculous John.
10 Apr 2025 23:23:13
What am I meant to do with all that information zed? Change my mind? For whatever he said mis reported or interpreted it’s just a no from me.
10 Apr 2025 23:36:12
Dom is here now John, its a bit like Trent saying he'd never thought of leaving, wanted to be captain one day and couldn't see himself anywhere else then leg it quick sharpish when his chum Jude gets in his ear.
10 Apr 2025 23:40:11
Fair enough John, you're entitled to your opinion.
Did you also dislike the Everton-supporting Liverpool players too?
11 Apr 2025 00:49:20
It’s nothing like that at all FM. And it’s not ridiculous.
@zedicus. I don’t dislike him I just don’t want him to sign for us. I don’t remember any of the Everton supporting players saying they supported Everton when asked about signing for us? All there stories came out after they signed for us. I know everyone is not a Liverpool supporter.
11 Apr 2025 01:22:23
And I don't think Kerkez has said that he support Man Utd NOW. He may have said it months or years ago, just like any of the Everton supporting Liverpool players may have told mates they supported Everton before they joined us.
But everyone didn't have a video phone or social media back then, so (relatively) no one knew. That's why you don't remember any of them saying they supported Everton, because it wasn't reported.
I'm not saying Kerkez is definitely the one for us, I actually have a slight preference for Hato as he can also cover CB and could grow into Van Dijk's heir in time to come, but Kerkez does have PL experience so I'm no prepared to reject him just because of a preference he once expressed over United.
11 Apr 2025 01:34:44
How is it nothing like that, are we mant to believe he loves utd more than trent loves lfc?
11 Apr 2025 02:12:21
John please provide the quote. Alls I can see online is that there’s a Man U shirt on his wall during a webcast and the internet has put two and two together. Perhaps it was a shirt swap after a game? After all he’s a professional footballer so very likely. He certainly has never said ‘I won’t sign for Liverpool bc I support Utd’ so let’s put that to bed. He would improve our squad and help us challenge for cups. That’s all that matters.

Fowler, McManaman and Carragher were hardly interviewed and asked their allegiances when they turned up for trials at Kirkby.
11 Apr 2025 07:41:22
What about suarez John? Well known to be a Barcelona fan l, would you prefer we never signed him?
Players are professionals who want to have a good career, even if they sign for the rival of a club they supported as a boy their career depends on them playing well.

John Carra used to train as a kid for Liverpool in an Everton top and was a strong blue till he started playing in the first team. When he was told by one of the coaches after he cheered when he got the Everton result on the team bus this needs to stop now you’re going into the first team. If you can tell me a more diehard red on the pitch than Carra over the last 20 years please do so.
11 Apr 2025 12:59:19
Carra has said that supported Everton fiercely right up until he made the first team.
11 Apr 2025 13:46:59
For me, most pro footballers are not really supporters. They have their favourite clubs but they’re not really supporters.
I have no issue with any player claiming to support Man U or anyone else. However, if they decline an offer to play for us then that’s a different matter.
They get one chance, if they turn us down then it’s a final offer.
As Kerkez didn’t really turn down a serious offer, I can let his comment slide.
