[Gingawaria]

Fulham are close to signing veteran Finnish international Jari Litmanen and will undergo a trial with the club. (AFP news agency, 0949 GMT)

Got this from the BBC website...not sure how reliable it is.

Could be a good signing for them...be nice to see him back in the Prem. He might actually get a game too!

blimey, big Jari in West London! This I'd love to see.

stupid Houllier

He may be too old and slow for the Premiership now though, but i see what the press are doing, Hodgson the ex Finninsh coach is being linked to all Finnish players, how long before Sami is linked?

Jari has been in London since yesterday and will start to train with Fulham tomorrow. This is what all Finnish press is telling today with quotes from Hodgson and Litmanen.

He might be slow but he will have some sort of an impact in training if given a contract. I can see a six month contract at the most.

Disappointed to see that theres 6 replies to this thread and not one saying he'd do a better job than Kuyt

I don't believe Kuyt is playing for Fulham.

Litmanen trains
Finnish captain Jari Litmanen has teamed up with Roy Hodgson’s Fulham squad today and will be taking part in the Club’s training sessions over the next week.

Litmanen was Hodgson’s captain during Finland’s Euro 2008 qualifying campaign and the striker has been his nation’s talisman over the past decade, earning 110 caps and scoring 28 goals along the way. Finland

On the domestic scene Litmanen started his career with Reipas in Finland’s premier division before enjoying great success with Ajax, winning four Dutch titles, three domestic Cups and European Cup in the Club’s famous number 10 shirt.

Litmanen went on to represent Barcelona and Liverpool. During his time on Merseyside the Finnish playmaker achieved a cup treble with the Reds in 2001, winning the Worthington Cup, FA Cup and Uefa Cup.

A return to Ajax followed before more recent spells with Bundesliga side Hansa Rostock and Swiss side Malmo FF.

Jasus he must be pushing on a bit in footballer terms

Hodgson is so far out of his depth its unreal. What was al Fayed thinking
