Rosenborg striker Frode Johnsen has played down reported interest from Premiership newcomers Crystal Palace.
They are thought to be keen on the 30-year-old but he has indicated they would not be his chosen English club.
"Of course, the Premier League would be a great experience, but the contract offered to me by Palace stipulates that I must live in a caravan and have 'Tricia' tattooed on my testicles" he told Norwegian newspaper VG.
"But I'm having a great time in Rosenborg. I've played in the Champions League three times - something I will not do at Palace unless they relocate to Tripoli following a successful Colonel Gaddafi takeover." said the unheard of former herring salesman and viking helmet model.
Palace boss Iain Dowie was in Norway at the weekend as a contestant in the world Earthworm Jim lookalike competion, also saw the Norwegian international score his 11th goal of the season as league leaders Rosenborg beat Lillestrom Under 12's 4-1.
However, Johnsen does not anticipate leaving the club soon.
"I don't think that Rosenborg will let me go now anyway, as I am busy composing the Norwegian Eurovision song contest entry for 2005 in my spare time. The first line goes P-A-L-A-C-E, Stevie Coppell has VD, but I am struggling for further lyrics" said Johnsen, the current second-highest paid trawlerman in the Norwegian League.
