foley is a quality player,was only let go because him and Connor didn't see eye to eye.
He will be a brilliant player for ye as he has a great work rate which is needed to give the other midfielder opportunities to go forward.
He plays like Makelele at Chelsea.Breaks up attacks and gets the ball moving.

I think the best out of the players were in talks with is Stephie Gavin.He seems to be rated very highly by the Athlone boys.

When he is fit he owns the wing. Super player hopefully we can keep him.

Does he play on the left or right wing?

Plus, to late! he and foley have offically signed.

Do you think United should put a bid in for any of these
players that were 'let go' by Shamrock Rovers recently:

Keith Doyle,
Kieran Foley,
Willo McDonagh,
Gavin McDonnell,
Keith O’Halloran

Or these from Athlone Town::

Andy Noonan,
Gavin Doyle

Moran, Lavine stay put in Galway

Galway United have confirmed that strike pairing Barry Moran and
Eric Lavine will be staying at the club for next season.

Speculation had been growing that either one of 2005�s first-choice
strike pairing would quit the club following the acquisition of Alan
Murphy from Derry City.

However, manager Stephen Lally has revealed that Moran and Lavine
� who scored 16 goals between them in the season just ended � will
be staying at Terryland Park.

He told the Irish Sun: �We are putting together an exciting side and
Barry and Eric will be central to our plans.�

Apparently signed which is great news . Ciaran Foley and Stevie Gavin have signed which makes the squad significantly stronger.Key Position is a strong tough midfielder there is one back in Galway but seemingly his expectations are a bit high.

lads your looking well for next year already.think ye are worth a flutter just with the players ye got so far

O'Donnell has already signed for Dublin.

We were told yesterday that Goldbey joined Galway Hibs.

Stephen Lally has secured the signing of Stephen Gavin (winger) from Athlone Town over the weekend. Talks are still ongoing with Ciaran Foley (Sligo Rovers) and the club hope to be in a position soon to make an announcement about him joining.

I thought Foley had signed already??

**Tribesman** · 12/12/2005, 1:17 PM

who is the midfielder currently in Galway that GUFCT mentioned?

It was never posted on the official site that Foley had signed, was not in the CT on Friday either.

**Patrick Dunne** · 12/12/2005, 1:22 PM

I presume that gufct is talking about Fran Carter.

When a player is officially signed, GUFC will post on our website and inform the media. Until then, any rumours are mere conjecture.

That changed over the past hour or so. It originally said that both of the players had joined. I got a phonecall last friday saying foley had joined also?

Fran has signed too? y/n offically?

**Patrick Dunne** · 12/12/2005, 1:35 PM

Fran Carter has not signed for GUFC. Both parties have had talks with a view to the Newcastle man re-joining the club.

foley will be a good signing for ye.his work rate is unbelievable.i think stephen o donnell would be a great player for ye but id say he'll go to harps.carlos alvarez will be available soon as well....i don't think he's getting a new contract here.anyway ye seem to be putting a strong side together and best of luck for next season.

cheers roversforever, the team seems to be shaping up nicely alrite.
just a pity we wont be visiting The Showgrounds next year (bar the friendly that has been lined up), it has always been one of my favourite away trips

Ah well, we'll just have to wait til 2007

**The Stars** · 13/12/2005, 6:53 PM

we wont be relegated that fast surely!!!!
seriously though,ye have made 2 great signings in Foley and O'Donnell.
Steven O'Donnell would be one of yer best players if he signed,but dont think Alverez will be on his way to Galway,he is gone back to south america.
