    My younger Bro Anton will write who is in ?.

  • Does Monica Ravetta return in Italy?

  • Judging from the roster, Kazan looks like they'll win the Russian league again. although I think they should have kept Babeshina than Khrzhanovskaya. On the other hand, Dinamo Krasnodar have interesting players. I'm curious how they'll perform. I wished Grün would have extended her contract in Moscow but Osmokrovic seems like a good transfer.

  • Korobkova is Opp, not OH...she played in German league in 2011/12, and with her style of playing it is impossible to imagine her playing OH :D I suppose the balls she got from the setters back then were the highest ever played in our league ;)

  • ....i remember Korobkova through the times when she played for Karşıyaka in Turkey..She had a different spike styl.She used to play with high balls and she had jump serv..to some period i think she was the best scorer of the league. :thumbsup:

  • Ofc your right about Korobkova. I have seen her play myself so I dont understand how I put her there but anyway. Thanks for correction. But she played in Samorodok last season, or Bundesliga too?

  • How are looking Ufa transfer?
    Ural Ufa is the richest Club in the World in men's yard so here should be money also.

  • Severstal Cherepovets is like swiss Zurich and polish Bialystok.

    They need one good MB with Dianskaya.

    I have never seen 21 year old Tatiana Schukina play, but comes from Kazan and has played many matches for Russias junior NT, so might be good.

  • So which stars are going to appear in Russian league coming-up season?


    You have the rosters in the first page ;)


    But the biggest stars for me is:


    Ekaterina Gamova
    Natasha Goncharova
    Natalia Mammadova
    Destinee Hooker
    Helena Havelkova
    Natasa Osmokrovic
    Heather Bown
    Tatyana Kosheleva
    Jordan Larson
    Nancy Carrillo
    Nancy Metcalf

  • @Anton
    which teams do you think will dominate the Russian league this season?
    seems Kazan and Krasnodar,right? Moscow seems to lose its strenght.


    Yepp, I agree with u, I think it will be between Krasnodar and Kazan. Omsk looks promising too, they have a fantastic blocker in Yurieva, great setter in Zivkovic and two real pointscoring machines in Alisheva and Mammadova. I think they has good chances finish before Moscow at least.
