Atleast he's leaving on a positive note, same goes with others that could be leaving such as Dudek and Vladi.

No surprise, he said he'd be off in early April. Cheers Igor and good luck.

I'll openly admit a man who convinced me, this season, he could actually play and play well.

Thanks for this season Igor.

I like the comment "Biscan will leave with his head held high...". So he should - he became a really strong member of the team. Well done, Igor. You won't be forgotten as one of the 2005 European Champions.

But it seems Rafa's plans are beginning to take shape....

Now, who is he going to definitely sign....?

kopitekop1 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:24:29 pm »

Got to be honest i am sad he is off even though he is not good enough for our team.
He has heart and passion and loves everything about this club.
For me he is a legend not in the way of Dalglish Shanks etc but someone i will remember fondly and someone who gave everything for the cause but just came up short in terms of ability.

Igor

Good luck in the future igor, some quality performances this year!

LFC #1 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:27:45 pm »

Leaving on a high note, and will always be remebeed fondly by myself and I am sure most others.

good luck IGOR.

Good ridance imho.

Yes he has had a good season and Rafa has worked miracles. He has turned more into a cult hero than a good player.

There is a lot of two-faced people saying they are sad to see him go.

I'm sure peoples opinions were different 12/18 months ago.

Out with the old, in with the new...

Walton_Gary · « **Reply #12 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:30:27 pm »

If he leaves now he's still a legend, along the same lines of Joey Jones etc

I hope he does go becuase we need to move forward and with players like Igor i dont think we can, but i have to say - he's a hero

HIRA · « **Reply #13 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:30:51 pm »

That's not entirely surprising. If Hamann stays, Biscan goes. And vice-versa we can say.

sunilo · « **Reply #14 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:31:00 pm »

Leaves with a European Champions medal.

therayo · « **Reply #15 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:31:54 pm »

kinda to sad to see him leave after such a consistent season he's had..

Good luck and Good bye Igor!

Tuggster237 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:32:59 pm »

Good luck to the guy, never been a fan of his but he did give his all when wearing the red so fair play to him

Igor has improved immensely this year but he's still just short of what we need here at Anfield, he leaves a European champion though and, after last seasons exploits, his head held high. Good luck in the future Igor.

Good Luck Igor!

Monkey Red · « **Reply #20 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:41:07 pm »

Always sad to see a player leave the club.

Good luck Igor, and don´t go scoring against us in the CL or yer toast!

Igor Biscan'S Liverpool revival is over. The Croat hasn't been offered a new deal and he's available on a Bosman transfer, with Italians Lazio leading the chase. The 27-year-old midfielder played a major role in the club's triumphant Champions League campaign, enjoying his most consistent season since his £5.5m transfer in 2000.

However, his radical improvement wasn't enough to convince manager Rafa Benitez to prolong his Liverpool career.

Biscan will leave with his head held high following a season in which he finally showed some of the potential which motivated Gerard Houllier to lure him from Croatia Zagreb.

After a nightmare spell in defence two seasons ago, he was far more comfortable in his favoured central role.

His performances against Deportivo La Coruna, Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus went some way to restoring a hitherto blemished reputation, and the shy Croat even became a folk hero for some sections of the Anfield crowd.

AT LAST

should never have worn a red shirt, one of the biggest waists of money the premiership has ever seen. cult hero or not igor biscan should not be a premiership footballer, sell him to trammere they need a few players for the reserves iv herd.

Shooter McGavin · « **Reply #25 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:46:33 pm »

Legend is the same manner and Camara, Meijer etc...never good enought but still a cult hero..All the best Igor lad

MadErik · « **Reply #26 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:46:58 pm »

Never the most talented player at the club, but at least he put the effort in, unlike some.

All the best, Igor.

Rubbish, all Rafa has done is played the lad in his proper possition instead of arsing him around and trying to make him into something he isn't.

Well we wouldn't have won the Champions League without Igor. His displays against Deportivo, Juventus and Bayer Leverkeusen were immense. Remember the defence-splitting pass which set up Garcia's opener against Bayer at Anfield? Or his heroic display in Turin?

Probably the right move by Rafa, but I'm gonna miss Igor. All the best, big fella.

Boo! Cult hero who proved himself capable this season. Enjoy polishing your medal Igor, don't lose it on the bus home.

Would it be worth waiting till we have a new stadium for his statue or is there a good spot at Anfield for it?

Mate, Lazio are looking at taking him, they aren't exactly a small fry team. He had a super season this year and as much as Stevie G helped us get to the Champions League final. Maybe he's not good enough to help us challenge for the league, but he gave his all this year and leaves a hero.

Good fortune Igor and the same for Vladi.

Both going with respect and not moaning about Rafa... like some I could mention.

Scottish-Don · « **Reply #34 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:54:10 pm »

I can just see wee Gordon Strachan outside Anfield with his cheque book open.

Cheers Big Man and all the best with whichever Club you move to.

good luck to the geezer--only a squad player at best--if he had played in the middle all his time here we might think different

Paul Tomkins · « **Reply #36 on:** June 8, 2005, 01:58:02 pm »

Damn! Thought we were going to offer him a one-year deal. Still, it was always 50-50 as to whether or not he stayed...

Still, great end to his Liverpool career. And leaves a space for Owen Hargreaves...

redforlife · « **Reply #37 on:** June 8, 2005, 02:00:02 pm »

Gutted but it's probably the right decision

At least he leaves on such a better note after the season we've had, every player leaves as a 'hero' this summer

kaptainkop · « **Reply #38 on:** June 8, 2005, 02:05:22 pm »

Good Luck Igor...just a shame you never got revenge on that cheating scumbag Unsworth for getting you sent off in the Derby.

Proved A LOT of people wrong this year

Good on ya lad!!

SMD · « **Reply #39 on:** June 8, 2005, 02:07:12 pm »

Hope we get whichever team he signs for in the Champions League group stage, so we can give him a warm welcome.
