^ I agree 100%! There are plenty of similar MBs they could've signed for a lower budget. I'm curious to see what they'll do with the other positions...
By the way, Minas Tênis Clube signed another Cuban player: Raidel Delgado Gonzalez, who was playing in UAE. The news only say he can play as opposite, but I'm not exactly sure what his original position is. FIVB website says "Universal".
Funvic/Taubaté also renewed with another 2 players: Deivid (MB) and Leozão (Leonardo Litwinczuk, OPP).
