Jari's gone home....

a bit sad to see him go without really being given a proper chance myself, i think he is a truely amazing player....

they love him at Ajax, so fair play to the guy.

LITMANEN BACK IN AMSTERDAM

Ajax have completed the signing of Jari Litmanen from Liverpool.

The Finland international has put pen to paper on his Amsterdam return after a day of talks with the Dutch champions.

The 31-year-old iis believed to have agreed an intial one-year deal with his former club.

Litmanen, who has failed to break his way into Gerard Houllier's plans this season, was allowed to leave Anfield on a free transfer after two-and-a-half years on Merseyside.

The Amsterdam club's Leo Beenhakker last night revealed the 31-year-old was on the brink of a move back to the team he left for Barcelona in 1999.

And the deal has been sealed today, with a statement on Liverpool's website revealing: "All the staff at Liverpoolfc.tv wish Jari the best of luck on his return to Ajax - maybe we will see him back at Anfield in this season's Champions League."

Litmanen played 43 times for the Reds, scoring nine goals.
