Jari Litmanen is set to leave Dutch giants Ajax after the club revealed they would not be renewing his contract in the summer.
The Finnish legend has struggled with injuries all season and it is the physical problems that have led to Ajax's decision.
"We deplore this decision but unfortunately due to physical problems he was not able to bring what everyone had hoped for," said Ajax chief Arie van Eijden.

Is this a great opportunity to bring in some truly World Class tution for our seriously under acheiving players to learn some REAL skills and improve their game.

Comments please guys ....................................................

We certainly could do with Jari's composure and creativity right now but Houllier will never take him back.

Diggers Gran, that is why Houllier must leave in the same transaction. Stubborn is not the trait of top managers.

would be brillaint for him to work with players such as le tallec and pongalle, even cheyrou and diouf could learn from him, but houllier would never take him back!

I'd take him back in a coaching role but not as a player!!! He's way past his best.

Jari would be great back at Anfield but it'll never happen, certainly not with GH still at the helm. Also as much as I rate Litmanen the injury problems don't bode well for a guy of his age and we could do without £40k per week going on an injured player

Wrong end of the stick here guys.

Only meant take Jari as a coach/trainer. Not as a player, he's finished with 1st team football now....

Glad that's been cleared up. I thought you'd gone mad.

He'd never come back while Houllier is in charge after he shat all over him would he?

i agree bring him back, he would be...

a berkamp to arsenal
a Di Canio to charlton
a Les to Leister

Some old school style would be goooood

Your missing the point seany. He's carrying an injury. He'd only be back as a coach. Not that any of this will ever happen after GH shat on him.
