Germany - DVL 1. Bundesliga 2013/14

Quote from Raven

I´m curious about that, too. My assumption is, that one of them could probably be Elina Salomäki. She´s under contract with Theo Hofland´s agency.

But last season she played in the 2nd league team of Vilsbiburg, so I can hardly imagine her in Schwerin

Quote from le coq gaulois

vilponen?

Considering that she's also a Hofland player I thought so too...but I have no idea how good she is and if she could be a real replacement for Anne Buijs.

Another candidate could be MB Laura Pihlajamäki who was in Stuttgart in 2010/11, she's quite good.

VC Wiesbaden signed 24-year old italian libero Martina Boscoscuro.

Interesting transfer, especially because it's hard to imagine that Wiesbaden can afford her...

Allianz MTV Stuttgart has announced that they have signed two new players and are close to signing two more, but the players don't want to be announced officially before the team starts training. Anyhow one of them is French setter Lauriane Truchetet who is listed as signed for Stuttgart on her agency site.
From last year's team, Pia Weiand, Svenja Engelhardt, Franziska Bremer, Alessandra Jovy-Heusser, Evelyn Delogu and Lena Gschwendtner are staying and Rebecca Pavan has already signed some weeks ago.

So, Deborah van Daelen will leave Stuttgart?

I guess it's not certain yet. They only mention Silvana Olivera and the 3 Bulgarian players as definitely leaving, but there's no info about Van Daelen and Tatjana Zautys yet.

According to this article, Junior NT Opp Carina Aulenbrock has indeed signed with Schweriner SC.

Schweriner SC signed several new players: Laura Pihlajamäki (MB, FIN), Danica Radenkovic (S, SRB), Jana-Franziska Poll (OH, GER) and two players from German Junior NT, Carina Aulenbrock (OPP) and Denise Imoudu (S). So their team is almost complete, 3rd MB is probably Ivana Isailovic (SRB) but she hasn't been officially announced yet.

EDIT: Now Isailovic is official too. Only the liberos and another Opp are missing...

Jennifer Geerties signed in Vilsbiburg. Good decision for both sides I think

Quote from Raven

As a matter of fact, she already signed weeks before the Montreux Volley Masters

And you didn't tell us???

Dresdner SC signed American Opp Meagan Ganzer. She's the one who last season first almost got to play in Schwerin (but the club eventually didn't sign her for health reasons), then played half a season in Constanta, then played some time in Puerto Rico and eventually signed in Turkey. Not sure if I remember all the details right but she definitely had a chaotic season, I hope the next one will be better for her (and Dresden!)

And now we get to know how Aachen can afford so many good players: a sponsor of the team, STAWAG (an energy company from Aachen) has increased their financial support and is the main sponsor for now

This will be the official "Ladies in Black" sign for the new team:

Even though Schwerin has Radenkovic and Imoudu as setters for next season, also Tanja Joachim seems to be still in the team. On Schwerin's website there is a news about the NT players not being in the roster for EL this weekend training in Schwerin together with SSC players and there's a photo of all players and Joachim is there too...so either Schwerin will have 3 setters next season or Joachim hasn't found a new team yet and keeps training in Schwerin until she signs somewhere else.
