Info about John Paul Kelly (Joxer)

Hi all!

I hope it's ok to post this question here, as it seems that the subforum for the Bohemians isn't very well visited.

Recently rumours has it that Norwegian fotballklubb, Lillestrøm (or LSK for short), has started talks with Bohemian player John Paul "Joxer" Kelly. I know that he has been in the youth squad at Liverpool and is an U-19 and U-21 player for Ireland. But is there anything else you could tell me about his strenghts and weaknesses and if there are some websites that could provide me with some stats (if you can't).

Also I'm wondering on what level wages a player like Joxer can expect in Bohemians (compared to what he can get in LSK).

And are there any new rumours about his move to LSK?

Best Regards

Thanks a lot. I've been looking for a forum for the supporters of Bohemian. I'll try there.

Cheers

HE's nowhere near as gisted as O'Callaghan, Molloy, Ndo or about 8-10 others.

Yeah, he's useless mate; take O' Callaghan, or Trevor Molloy or someone else; we'll look after Joxer

Seriously Ronnie, if you're going for Bohs players you should really be looking at Stephen Rice or Dessie Byrne. Both quick fullbacks who can attack down either flank and score from set pieces. Byrne has Premiership experience and is looking for a move to a more illustrious club (like Lillestrom). Rice has come up through the ranks (I think he may have spent some time as a trainee over in the UK) and is a star performer.

He, he, I'll pass the info to our manager, Fjørtoft.

I'm somewhat surprised that we are scouting for players in Irish football. Though we have, and always have had, our share of foreign players, I can't remember anyone from Ireland. We had a crazy Scot once, but he came from Swedish football.

I know that we are looking for an attacking midfielder to replace soon to be sold Slovenian international Robert Koren, but I recon Joxer might not be up to that task right away. He’s a bit young and inexperienced and is most likely a player for the future.

I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see, but I must say it's a bit exciting.

Didn't mean it that way.

Surprised because I can't remember any transfers between an Irish and a Norwegian club.

I'm not bashing your league.

Eamonn Zayed was on loan with Ålesund last year for a few matches - he came from Bray Wanderers - and I think it's fair to say he didn't do well there. Other than that I don't thing there have been any other transfers between Irish and Norwegian clubs. Djurgården tried to sign Jason Byrne from Shelbourne earlier this year so you could say that Scandinavian clubs are looking at our league for players.

As for "Joxer" - I really can't see him enjoying Lillestrøm if he moves to ye. It's very hard to find an off-licence in Norway and when you do the prices are extreme.

Pats signed a Norwegian Last year Glen Atle Larson. He's moved on since he mad eno impression at all

For Irish eyes: I have a high opinion of O'Callaghan (er, as a player), but Joxer made a complete fool of George in their last meeting. Cue prolonged absence of GO'C from Cork line-up. Get the gist? :p
For Norwegian eyes: Joxer's useless. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

That absence in Georgies fault .... it has nothing to do with Joxer, maybe he made a meal of the foul but that is not what is keeping Georgie out of the team at the moment.

I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what is an off-licence?

Ahhh, OK.

You're right, beer, wine and spirits are very expensive here, but then again we are stinking rich from all our oil;)

Our thirsty Aussies seems to like it here. Maybe because lots of supporters are buying for them when they go out:p

Runner, can you give me a link to the LSK forum, so I can go on there and warn your great club not to take any interest in this immature, unreliable player?
BTW, I hear his Norwegian is terrible...

It's www.kanari-fansen.no/forum.

And as for his Norwegian, it's no problem. There are elleven foreign players in the squad and do not forget our coach, Uwe Rösler, who is german. So English is the preferred language.
