Lavine returns??

....Id say he's definitely back lads he was at the galway United camp last night but nothing is definite.What a signing he would be,he'd score goals for fun just like he used ta in the premier!

Eric does a lot of training and coaching juniors in Galway as he still lives here so I wouldn't read to much into it until it is formally announced by GUFC on our own website.

**loudy macloud** · 29/06/2005, 1:00 PM

there was a small rumour, probably all rubbish that we in athlone were looking for him, we need a striker of his quality, but there is no chance of that happening, one of my mates was playing for longford when he was up there and said he was the best striker he has played along side

**harpskid** · 29/06/2005, 1:17 PM

Big rumours here that he's coming for talks at Finn Park

Wherever Eric does end up it won't be to far away from Galway as he has a very close relationship with his son and wont want to be too far from him.

whens the transfer window open???? and the important question: does utd have money to buy and keep players?????

**gufct** · 29/06/2005, 2:35 PM

and if Eric is signed he will be available for saturday. Id say with the players we have/are signing we may need about 2 more players max.

Eric Lavine will join Galway United when the transfer window opens. He will not be eligible to play against Kildare, but will be available to make his debut against Limerick FC in Terryland on Friday 8th July (KO 7.30PM).

All domestic transfers require two days clearance.

United will have money to buy and keep players if our supporters and the Galway public get behind our three upcoming fundraisers :

Coventry City friendly
Lark in the Park
The Famous Fives

These three events can bring in a six-figure sum for the club, but only with your help. A meeting will be held in Drum next Tuesday night, 5th July, at 8.00pm.

Anyone who can help in any way is asked to attend.

PD.

If that's a five a side tournament, I'm sure Lavine will give it his full support....

**Conor H** · 30/06/2005, 11:38 AM

And Coronation steeet will also take part

**Tribesman** · 30/06/2005, 1:47 PM

If Lavine does join us again he will have to earn his place in the squad.

With Goldbey, O'Dowd and Moran all playing well and also the arrival
of Mernagh, competition for the starting places upfront will be strong.
