Ahh so AZ then
Oh, that's right - I misread it.
And I can now write Chinese fluently after mine over here (I could speak and read a bit before but wow these vaccine side effects are awesome).
Oh I want that 5G version - being able to upload various packs would be brilliant.
You’d be like Neo in The Matrix - the original one, not the one Dantes will have described as hopelessly woke.

Furious Levy issued threat to Liverpool after €8m payment
Date published: Sunday 30th January 2022 9:23 - Matthew Stead
Daniel Levy was furious with Liverpool after they beat Tottenham to a deal for Porto forward Luis Diaz.
Tottenham had entered negotiations with Porto over Diaz earlier this month, with some outlets suggesting they had a £37.6m bid rejected.
The north London club hoped to find a breakthrough over the structure of a deal and had reportedly agreed a €60m (£49.8m) move with Porto, which involved ‘targets that would be difficult for Diaz to achieve’.
In an extensive report from the Daily Telegraph, it is claimed that Levy ‘drove a hard bargain’ but was soon stunned as Liverpool swooped to secure the forward.
While the news broke on Friday, it was 24 hours earlier that the Tottenham chairman became aware Liverpool had gone above his head with a counter move. Levy was so incensed that he ‘threatened to report’ the club’s recruitment team to owners John W. Henry and Mike Gordon.
‘The key flaw in that plan being that Henry and Gordon were delighted with the strategy pursued,’ Sam Wallace writes.
Liverpool had been in relative control of the situation as early as last year, when Porto’s financial difficulties were laid bare after their delays in fulfilling their financial obligations of the deal that saw Marko Grujic move from Anfield to the Portuguese giants.
Jurgen Klopp saw Diaz as his ‘first-choice recruit’ by last summer but Porto’s asking price of €60m plus add-ons proved prohibitive.
Liverpool opted not to engage, telling their Champions League group-stage opponents that they would enter negotiations again after the January transfer window.
Porto later informed Liverpool that ‘there were other interested parties,’ at which point Klopp’s team requested to be kept up to date and told ‘if a deal was agreed’ with another team. This proved to be key.

I thought strikers were supposed to be expensive yet none of our current top 4 strikers make it in our top 5 transfers.
No no he's not dead… he's… he's restin'!
The good thing about Benteke was that we sold him for almost an equivalent amount. We'll get very little for Keita if we were to sell him today.
I strongly doubt any of the performance add on clauses got trigger though. Although no way to find out
Koumetio maybe? Or does he count as home-grown?
We've got 4 goal keepers in the squad so preferably it would be Adrian out.

Koumetio get in via the Under 21 and been at the club 2 years rule, I think.
I may be wrong, but I think it's possible to shift Curtis Jones (who's presently on List B) onto List A, and thereby create an extra spot in List A by fulfilling our "locally trained" quota.
As I understand it, the CL rules are:
- 8 minimum "locally trained" players in the 25 man List A squad
- Out of those 8, minimum 4 should be club-trained i.e. on the club's books for minimum 3 years between age 15-21
- In case of any shortfall in "locally trained" quota, the overall squad size of List A gets reduced by the shortfall
Club-trained:
Kelleher
Trent
Gomez
Jones
Association trained:
Milner
Henderson
Ox
Elliott
That gives us the full quota of 17 foreign players to register which would be:
(GK): Alisson, Adrian
(DF): VVD, Matip, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas
(MF): Fabinho, Thiago, Keita
(FW): Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota, Diaz, Origi, Minamino
