Bayern Munich have wasted little time in this seasons January transfer window with midfielders Xherdan Shaqiri and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg being sent on loan to Inter Milan and Augsburg respectively.
The moves can be considered little more than some early spring cleaning, as Pep Guardiola looks to tidy up his squad and solve any potential uprest among personnel before the season reaches its conclusion.
Whether or not the Spanish coach will now look to bring in some new faces to replace those that have left is up for debate. Anything could be just around the cornerin the mayhem of the transfer window.

The latest superstar to be linked with a move to Bayern in this January transfer window is none other than Real Madrid central defender Raphael Varane.
According to reports in Spanish paper Marca, reported and translated by the DailyExpress on January 10, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola spoke to agent Jorge Mendes to decipher whether a deal could be struck.
The British press have since run with the story, with theMetrowho linked to the original rumour in theExpressalso stating onJanuary 10that the Bavarian club's interest in the defender could scupper any hopes of both Chelsea and Manchester Untied signing the player
Although Madrid are unlikely to sell the central defender, such reports state that the Bayern coach is desperate to bolster his defense and has looked to the Frenchman as the ideal solution.

A Colorado interagency team is working this winter to detect and manage the emerald ash borer, a tree-killing pest.
Currently, Boulder County is the only area in the state that has been quarantined because of infestation.
"The pest is under federal and state quarantine," said Laura Pottorff, Colorado Department of Agriculture's quarantine program manager. "So basically what this means is that we do not want any material that could harbor the pest, in this case it's ash wood, to leave the Boulder County boundary."
The county boundary, she said, is the smallest area that the interagency can quarantine to follow federal regulations; landfills in Erie and Jefferson County have been included in this quarantine, as they are the only landfills in that area.
The pest tunnels into the tree's conductive tissue as larva, then creates distinctive one-eighth-inch D-shaped holes in the ash tree's bark once they emerge as adults.
While there are treatment options for an infested tree, the interagency gropu emphasizes that each treatment option is totally up to the tree owner, but none will ever permanently rid the tree of the pest.
"What we are emphasizing to the public is weighing options is it worth saving?" said Ryan Lockwood, public and media relations coordinator for Colorado State Forest Service. "You can choose tree removal, planting new trees or chemically treating the tree."
Pottorff says that it is totally fine to do nothing to the tree and let it die on its own, the removal process simply needs to ensure the pest will not spread to other wood.

Our contentious basement issue continues with the always controversial topic on whether to drywall the ceiling, or drop it with a suspended tile.
Drop ceilings are a long time favorite because they allow the homeowner access to the vast amount of wiring, ductwork, and plumbing pipes that tend to weave themselves across the joist system. As a result, drop ceilings tend to make homeowners sleep a little easier due to the fact they feel they can react more quickly to a leaky plumbing joint, or block in the drainage pipe, without too much disruption. Once youve buried your mechanical systems in behind the drywall, youve pretty well committed to never modifying or touching this stuff for the life of the home.
So, before deciding on either drywall or a suspended ceiling tile as your finished product, the question youre going to have to ask yourself is when was the last time you needed access to your ceiling? If the answer is never, then theres little risk in drywalling over an area that is, or has been up to this point, perfectly secure. However, drywall may not be the answer if you suspect that the mechanical systems running the course of the ceiling joists may be somewhat less than code compliant. This state of non-compliance is usually confirmed when clothes hangers and binder twine form the backbone of the support system keeping the duct work in position, or when your best home buddy is a plumbers snake, due to the mass of gnarled elbows and joints that regularly require your de-clogging attention. Thats why we fix the ceilings mechanical issues before finishing anything, even with a suspended tile. Sure, a grid system with tiles does provide accessibility, but it aint easy. Removing and manipulating tiles that are often installed in less than the four-inch suggested minimum space, usually result in damage to the product. Plus, any time a ladder is part of the repair process, the risk of injury and damage to the homeowner increases twofold.
So, lets get the venting and plumbing systems working at 100% before choosing either drywall or a suspended tile. Or, best case scenario, and if possible, have your plumber and heating/cooling contractor re-direct the piping and duct work to a non-finished part of the basement. What about using a combination of both drywall and suspended tile? Perfect! This way, areas that are to be drywalled can be further sealed with a Roxul, safe n sound insulation, providing a little soundproofing for any future theater room, or office space, since sound insulation works equally well in keeping sound out, as well as in.
Before installing the ceiling, youll have to first wrap the supporting beams. This can be accomplished with either pine planks, wainscoting, primed MDF, or drywall. If the idea is to have beams that are stained, or painted a darker color, and you see it as beneficial to emphasizing their existence, real wood is the obvious choice. Otherwise, most basement beams sit a little lower than what we feel comfortable with, and are better un-emphasized with the smoother finish of paintable MDF or drywall. Although Im not a big fan of steel wall studding, only because it wont accept a nail for picture hanging, wrapping your overhead beam, or framing any low spot in the basement with steel studs, is definitely easier than working with wood. All youll need are 2x2 steel studs and a couple of pounds of self-tapping steel screws. Steel studs are lightweight, cut easily with a pair of tin snips, and fasten together extremely well. Plus, steel studs are always straight, wont twist, and dont crack, so they offer a definite advantage over regular 1x3 or 2x2 lumber. Be sure to use a 1-1/4 inch, pan head screw, as opposed to a standard tapered, or wood type screw, when when fastening the steel studs to the wood joists or beam. The flat surface of the pan head screw is a better match for the steels thin construction.
Good building.
