Liverpool have been dealt a double blow with two midfield targets confirming that they will not be heading to Anfield this summer.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been unveiled as a Borussia Dortmund player while former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso has scoffed at rumours that he could be returning to the Premier League.
The Spaniard was a fans' favourite at Anfield between 2004-09 and played under new Chelsea Jose Mourinho for the following four years.

Ready for action: Henrikh Mkhitaryan with Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp


No goes: Xabi Alonso is not interested in returning to England or Liverpool, for this summer at least


But Alonso, 31, made it very clear that he would not be returning to England this summer.
'The Premier League? No,' he said when asked if he was moving back this summer. 'No way, no chance.'
Alonso's contract expires at the end of the upcoming season so could move back to England after that, especially with Madrid targeting Asier Illarramendi.
Mkhitaryan, meanwhile, has completed his £20million move to Dortmund from Shakhtar Donetsk.
He was a big target for Brendan Rodgers over the summer but has opted for Champions League football in Germany.

Luis Suarez said he is happy to hear Arsenal value him, as he left the door open for the Londoners to follow up their reported £30m bid.

The Gunners made the offer for the Uruguay international last week which was rejected out of hand by the Reds.

Suarez is keen to quit Anfield and the Gunners are believed to be the only club to have lodged a bid for the player.

The striker, who has three years remaining on an improved contract he signed last summer, is currently on extended leave after his involvement in the Confederations Cup.

"It is good to know that I am still valued by teams like Arsenal," Suarez said today.

"Now there are two or three options and the club knows. There are no offers yet but Liverpool FC know exactly what is going on and what I want.

"A phone call could change everything."

Suarez remarks are a bit cryptic for ignorant of the facts people like me.

It seems to me however, that there is more of a "pull" factor (playing Champions League) than a "push" factor (not playing for BR) in Suarez and Mkhitaryan in the one's wishes and the other's decision.

We're all ignorant of the facts but even so, to think the CL is not a huge factor for Suarez is madness. Losing out on the Shaktar youth is a big problem for true but Alonso would have been a waste of time and money...his wage bill would have been prohibitive and he is too old to fit into any long term rebuilding program. We already have a geriatric in Gerrard, so having another doesn't make any sense. And of course, I won't remind X of which manager was in charge when we dropped out of the top 4...but in said manager's defense, the ownership was a bigger factor in that demise than the manager. What is indefensible however, is the youth coach's predecessor WASTING £80m on "deadwood".

[Sir X]

You are really grasping at straws, liverpool post deadwood KD isnt the force it use to be , its a joke top 4 isnt expected this season , he cant take us to the league cup ,much less the FA cup like KD.

Skertel he wants out , Saures running , Coates he is shipping out ,his buys will never reach their Zenith under him.I hope you are adding the money he has spent since arrival.....you are a trip..Rafa lost pool dressing room , but won it at Chelsea , Deadwood KD wasted money reaching two finals but relegation Hodgson and Youth coach BR bring more to the table...aaag sah...Napoli mi seh.....history will be kind to the deadwood,it already has ,those look like glory days.

[Paul Marin]

X, we see it differently, that's for sure. Rafa was a victim of G&H and his own stupidity in alienating Alonso and ; Hodgson was just stupid; KD was a spending fool (that £80m still burn me). Rodgers at least has been fiscally careful, has made some decent buys, is letting the RIGHT youths out of the academy get a shot, and at least has a vision to how he wants his football played. I am THRILLED that: Shelvey, Spearing, Coates are going, now if we can only convince Downing and Henderson to go with them. Bleacher Report predicted 10 game unbeaten start to the season for 'pool. I hope they are right. One thing's for sure, we haven't played football like we did in the last 15 games of the season (1 loss only) in a long, long, long time. FSG just have to step up and start loosening up the purse strings (which would have been a lot easier without the KD madness).

From long time me know she you have a problem with comprehension enuh...what I SAID was "I am THRILLED that: Shelvey, Spearing, Coates are going..." Me neva seh nuttin' bout being thrilled fi dem odda ting deh. Time to move on and support the man in charge X, negativity will only bring you and the team down. And by the way, *supposed* Rafa did dead, who you would have managing Liverpool? Wait, don't tell me - him duppy - right? LOL!!

Caan support almshouse like you .If you can harp on money spent by KD to ignore the marvelous job of rescuing pool from a thrilling relegation fight ,then going on the next season to bring us two titles as money wasted to justify a learning youth coach at an prestigous institution like pool who no big name balla want to play under yuh deserve almshouse from X....mi waarn yuh long time..pool will have a flight of players under dis coach

X - newsflash - Liverpool had a flight of players under the coaches before Rodgers, Rafa lost Alonso, Crouch, Arbeloa; Hodgson lost Macherano, KD lost Torres, Meireles and Aquilani (him did lend him when he should have kept him) so don't try bring all the woes to Rodgers doorstep. The point is that the exodus - including two world cup winning players - started long before he arrived. Looking at the manager alone in these situations is simplistic, they are not the only factor in attracting top talent. Your boy Rafa went from 2nd to 7th and we haven't recovered from that since. That is not Rodgers fault, at least he has done no worse than Rafa and a WHOLE HEAP better than KD with FAR LESS than an £80m capital outlay.

How many TOP players running to the EPL these days?

@ Paul

Nice spin ...BR has no pull , im a live off Rafa and KD deadwood.

KMT - Coutinho and Sturridge are KD/Rafa deadwood? The players there now, in case you haven't noticed (Suarez understandably excluded), are not going anywhere. Remember that even Gerrard - Mr. Liverpool himself - threatened Rafa to go to Chelsea. You are not being fair to the youth coach...and as Sass points out...which top players are going to the Prem anyway? Look at Chelsea and City, ah who dem buy of any note this window? KMT. Rodgers is young, ambitious and at least has a system that people (players especially) can understand. Now tap u nize an' go buy the new season jersey...put "RODGERS #1" on the back.

Thank God! Notice in that article that it says it will help mid-table teams (e.g. Sky money)...maybe the predictability of the top flight will revert to the solid football and football management of the olden days...it was much harder to buy titles back then.
