Merry Christmas to all!
It may not be as comfortable as last year, but Liverpool rose to the top of the Premier League table on December 25 and remain the favorites to retain their title.
That continued success in the field, coupled with the financial implications of the pandemic, means there’s not much to do in January, right?
Well, there are still some extremes to be resolved for 2021 …
Gini Wijanldum’s future has been the only loose thread in a meticulously woven squad planning strategy at Anfield of late.
While some reports say there is still hope that the 30-year-old will sign new terms to carry his tenure at Liverpool beyond the summer, time is running out.
The Dutchman continues to be one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted artists and costume leaders. In the midst of an unprecedented injury crisis, its importance has never been more apparent.
Just give him what he wants.
“Yes, God, my phone has been jumping”?

Caoimhin Kelleher, 22, surpassed Adrian to become Liverpool’s number two this season, impressing in the absence of Alisson with some assured shows.
The young Irishman, who started out as a forward at the junior level, has a contract at Anfield that expires in 2022 and the sooner he is tied to a new long-term contract the better.
It’s the least you can do now that we’ve all learned to say your name.
Fabinho and Joel Matip have proven to be as good as any Premier League pair at the rear in the absence of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. Meanwhile, Rhys Williams, Nat Phillips and Billy Koumetio have impressed more than they were entitled to when asked.
StillIf Liverpool can secure a deal for a quality specialty option to bolster their options, then they will be much better off in 2021.
22-year-old Dayot Upamecano (top right) has been mentioned and a relatively low release clause is supposed to take effect in the summer.
Names like Ozan Kabak, Pau Torres and Ben White have also joined in, but doing big business in January is very difficult.
While Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips have had opportunities in this more unusual season, the 2019 season signing Sepp van den Berg has not.
Although still young, the 19-year-old doesn’t seem particularly close to the first team (even with all the injuries on defense) and may benefit from a loan period, either at home or abroad, as Williams did. and Phillips.
How is Harvey Elliott doing? Question … pic.twitter.com/11FT3dWqkj

Harvey Elliott is absolutely wrecked in the Championship.
The 17-year-old has four goals (including the previous one) and four assists in 14 appearances for playoff hopefuls Blackburn Rovers.
The youngest player in the Premier League seems destined for the top and there is talk that his loan could even be interrupted to compensate for Diogo Jota and the other injuries.
It’s an exciting prospect …
Divock Origi will remain eternal; his name etched into Liverpool folklore for generations to come …
However, his time as a first-team player is coming to an end.
The Belgian doesn’t really seem to fit into Klopp’s system, while he appears to have run out of aces (in the form of crucial goals) up his sleeve.
Sentimentality aside, Origi is the obvious choice to sell for the purpose of boosting the coffers in January. Wolves have been mentioned.
Sorry everyone. Sorry 2019 me.
Like Thiago Alcantara before him, David Alaba’s contract with Bayern Munich is coming to an end and his time in Bavaria appears to be over.
As of January 1, the Austrian will be able to sign a contract before the summer of 2021 with any foreign club.
There are few more versatile, experienced or talented operators. If the funds are there, it’s a no-brainer, right?
Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSG have also been linked.
More goals in the Bundesliga at 17?
Kai Havertz – 4
Timo Werner – 4
Jamal Musiala – 3 (and counting)??????? ⭐ pic.twitter.com/U2NfxYKH9S

Also at Bayern Munich alongside Alaba is 17-year-old Jamal Musiala.
The England Under-21 international is enjoying a great campaign with the European champions, having scored nine Bundesliga games three times so far.
As England and Germany battle for the midfielder’s international future, Bayern are also desperate to tie him up beyond the next 18 months of his current contract, reportedly even offering up to £ 100,000 a week.
Liverpool have linked up with the boy from wonder and giving him a reason not to sign a new deal with Bayern could be an important basis for future transfer windows.
This is definitely not tapping, you understand …
A new magic sponge, industrial amounts of cotton, replace all his bones with Adamantium, anything to stop all injuries … Please.
