  • Smart Allianz Stuttgart signs Doreen Engel (KSC Berlin) as 2nd setter.


    VfB Suhl signs American setter Kaylee Manns. American MB Chelsea Cheeley will train with the team in the next weeks too, Felix Koslowski will decide if they will sign her when he returns from NT.

  • Köpenicker SC Berlin signed Brazilian MB Barbara Garcia Duarte and German-American OH Sarah Weiland (played in Finland last season). Two more professional players shall arrive soon. The club also promoted several of their own youth players into 1st league team, one of them is Saskia Hippe's sister Laura.

  • :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry, but it is a sign of her quality that she returns from Italy to Germany...

    So true :lol:
    The official statement says, they needed another player, because of the injuries of Stephanie Kestner and Nicole Schröber.

  • Ah...come on. ;) Italy is partially overrated. Dresden is a professional and - what's more important - a solid club. And even though they're allways whining about "we need more money" and "this and that is sooo expensive"... the players will have their salaries in time. And where did Anne Matthes play? Probably not for an italian top club either - or am I wrong? And its not guaranteed that a players development will proceed just from beein in Italy. Sitting on a bench in a good (italian) club or playing in the italian minors might bring a fair share of €uros, but playing for Dresden might be more benifical for most of the players developement, who left germany for a well paid contract abroad. ;)

  • Yeah, as I said for Dresden it's not a bad transfer, and for Matthes it's probably also the best to play her because it suits her level better, what I mean is that it's unusual that a player returns to a lower level at her age ;)

  • Yeah but a 2nd division team in Italy, and if she had been main player there last season she could have played many good matches. Now she will get 6 good matches in CL, a few good matches in German league but also many matches that won't be near the level she could have had in Italy A2. Either way in my opinion the level here suits her performance much better...

  • American setter Kaylee Manns who was supposed to sign with VfB Suhl decided to play in Norway instead. The amount and intensity of training in German league was too much for her... :roll: Also the American MB which was an option does not come. Suhl is looking for a setter and a MB again now...
