Jari Litmanen

[ALMO]

According to Sky Sports News, Fulham have offered him a trial with a view to signing him. He's 36 now, seriously dont think he has the legs to play in England anymore.

[TG3]

What a player in his day though! Scored some pearlers for Liverpool, don't think we used him enough or his best role.

[hamstrung]

Thought he'd retired due to injury ages ago

[fin-bat]

He´s still alive. Has recovered from an ankle operation and is like a new man now... :whistle:

 

Played quite well during the last euro qualifiers, imo.

[lfc4eva99]

Whats the odds on him Scoring the winner against us then? :)

[dark train]

I'd be really surprised if he can stick the pace but if he wants to have a go best of luck to him.

[bobhorse]

Didnt we still pay his wages while he was at Ajax another Ged classic ?

[honourablegeorg]

The couple of years rest he had in Liverpool will have prolonged his career.

[Tom R]

What's his hair like these days? That's what really matters....

[Strontium]

Always looked head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch when he played for us. What a shame we didn't have another 10 players on his wavelength.

Would have settled for one Manager

[LFC Brian]

Houllier needs trying for crimes against talent the way he treated Jari,what a talent,what a player and what a waste by GH !!!!!!!!!

[Anubis]

Just posted about what I'd have given to see him up front with Torres. Fuck, if he's only 36 I'd get him back!

[bobhorse]

I think there was a lot more to it than meets the eye you dont bust a gut to sign him and then not play him and ship him out

[Rashid]

World Class and probably still better than Kuyt and Voronin. I love Litmanen, but please threads like these make me want to send the mob to Houllier's house.

[Bourbon]

On another planet compared to Wolf and Dirk; as much as they are Liverpool players and I support them with everything.

 

Still wish he played for LFC; one of my fave all-timers and a tragic waste.

 

If he comes over, he'll be a star for whichever minging side take him on.

That would be amazing! Litmanen would have been an absolute legend here had he played his best years for us. He would be great for Torres to learn off as he doesnt always bring other players in to the game and hes more than capable of doing that!

[Stefan]

Saw him a couple of times when he played for malmö a year ago. He was fantastic but probably slower than Hyypiä. He is altso injured all the time, regular injuries aswell as freak injuries like getting a bottle cap in the eye.

Remember that bottle accident. Wasn't he released by MFF after that?

[King Emlyn]

A proper footballer

Thats correct, they didn't extend his contract after that.

[DT]

How can people call him slow? Has he ever sprinted in his entire career?

 

I don't see how people can then comment on his pace.

 

He is even worse for strolling through a game than Hamann. Both absolutely ooze class. Exactly my type of footballer (well, not mine, but a type that I like alright)

[johnb]

Ah Jari.

 

Remember him most fondly to be fair for how pissed off he looked at Andy Townsend (now there's a cunt) in the Tactics Truck.

 

Scored a vomper against Spurs once.

[dave u]

Who could forget that? When Townsend started showing footage of Sheringham to Jari, like he was trying to teach him something about playing that role. Cringeworthy.
