    Seven years after leaving Dinamo Zagreb for Liverpool, Igor Biscan is now back at the club.

    The former Croatia international has signed a three-year contract after arriving on a free transfer from Panathinaikos, where he moved from Liverpool in 2005.

    "I'm very excited that I'm back at Dinamo after so many years abroad," he enthused.

    "I hope I will be the fans' favourite once again and I hope I will live up to the expectations.

    "I would like to play regularly once again. I believe we have good team and we will surely win the Croatian championship. We can also leave our mark in Europe and I hope I will be able to help Dinamo in the Uefa Cup in the next year.

    "As for next season, our goal is of course the Champions League. I have my mind on Dinamo only, I'm not thinking about returning to the national team."

    The 29-year old was bought by former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier for £5.5 million in December 2000, having been pursued by Juventus, Barcelona, Ajax and Milan.

    I thought he was a typical Houllier mid range signing. Loads of potential, utterly useless for most of his Liverpool career. He did turn into a cult hero near the end, but it was more a more a piss take. The season Houllier played him in the first 30 odd game of the season at CB was very very strange.

    I do remember though just after he signed for Liverpool, Ireland very playing Croatia at Landsdowne. He was on this sort of wooden bench as there was not enough room for all the subs and management. I went down just after HT and told him he would be a Liverpool Legend. I dont think he knew a word I was saying. He just gave me that starry look :D:D

    anyway he has a CL medal and fair play to him.:):)

    spoke with him once after a reserve game, he was very miserable. I noticed during the warm up he had a tat on his calf, I asked him what it was, turned out to be a taurus, his star sign. What an embarassing group of autographs I got that night, Igor, Cheryou, Djimi Traore and Arphexad, what was I thinking.
