From eleven-a-side. Scored 13 goals in 16 games for Galway last season - including one agianst us - and seems to be interested in doing a college degree. Quote from Pete Mahon on it as well, so seems to be reliable. There's Batman/Willie Doyle replaced anyway!
Nice. :D He'd be a great signing.
Quoted on the Galway United thread too :pQuote:

Former Galway United striker Damien Dupuy is believed to be on the verge of signing for Premier Division newcomers UCD, with the option of taking up a university course expected to weigh the balance in College’s favour in the race to sign the talented Frenchman.
Dupuy’s stock rose with remarkable rapidity last season, when he scored 13 times in 16 games for Galway after joining the Tribesmen in mid-season.
After returning to France for the holiday season, Dupuy is set to return to the eircom League, with Athlone Town, Waterford United and UCD all said to be interested in his services.
Students boss Pete Mahon told The Irish Sun: “He is interested in going to university so I am hopeful something can be worked out.”

All those players are free agents though - why would we need the money to sign them? If they can fit into our pre-budgeted wages budget, then fine. And also if they can play football, of course! :)
Ger Rowe is a new one. What's with all this signing players I've heard of?! What's going on?! :p
Current Shels, we're looking to send him on loan, I doubt we'd sell him though I don't think he'll ever be a first team regular.Quote:

He's hardly going to get into Shels' team this season with all the strikers they have now so he'd be likely to move I'd say. Having said that, if we get Dupuy another striker wouldn't on the top of my wish list.Quote:

Damien cited a desire to play in the Premier Division as the prime reason for turning down a new contract with the Tribesmen.

Good luck to Damo :) And many goals with Students ;)
Cool - we can sign the French national anthem at games again! Just like Paris all over! :p
Decent signing...wonder who'll be left out up front between Martin, Byrne and Dupuy? And does this mean Podgo's going to be down as a winger again next season?

Oh Sacre bleu! :eek:Quote:

No, he only joined us in June. More's the pity, it could have been us up there in the Premier now instead :rolleyes:Quote:

No more then usual though lolQuote:

We were offered Ger Rowe on loan and did not take up the offer. Pete is looking for another wide player subject to budgetary considerations.
I think he actually went to Cork after Limerick for a couple of weeks before getting the bus up to Galway :rolleyes:Quote:

Did M.Dupuy cost UCD the title last year when he equalised for the
Tribesmen last June on a balmy summer's evening in Terryland?
I can ask 'cos I saw the goal.
