We don't like to talk about transfer rumours. We especially don't like to talk about transfer rumours between windows. Mostly because none of the information floating around is true, accurate, or otherwise factual. And mostly because it's all crap that's been rehashed using stuff that was floating around six months ago that even back then wasn't true, accurate, or otherwise factual.

Visual aesthetics aside, the first thing you'll notice when picking them up out of the box is how incredibly light they are. The f50 adiZeros are so light, in fact, that they weigh less than the box they arrived in.

That's the next time these two monstrosities will face one another, perhaps in a league-mandated steel cage with Marquess of Queensbury rules and everyone signing a pre-match waiver for bodily harm/death.
