    Guidetti cut Koolhaas from the roster.


    Very logical choice, in my opinion!


    http://www.volleybal.nl/volley…finitieve-selectie-bekend


    Indeed indeed.
    She's not even used, definitely clever choice for the orange


    Marieke : Op de een of andere manier ben ik terug in Zweden, maar Dankjewel. :drink:


    Both teams with only 3 MBs.


    Belgium without Rousseaux and Bland compard to last year's roster. Laura Heyrman played quite well and was one of the leaders of the team in the summer, I hope she keeps that great shape.


    OHs on the other hand...I wouldn't be very surprised to see Grobelna as OH, she was tried in friendly matches against Czech Republic and did a not bad job. Whoever the OH2 is, she definitely would have to cover her up in reception though. IMO Vandesteene is a very weak player, I'd give a chance to Van Gestel, the youngster.


    Czech Republic :rose: I hope they can make us surprised. The question will be Havlickova, her knees have been bothering her and I don't think she's 100% fit yet. I believe in Havelkova and Kovarova as they were very consistent in passing against Belgium. The others can be quite unstable, Kossaniyova and Vanzurova for example. And their MBs will still stay as their weakness.

    3 more days till ECH :D...can't wait anymore :D

    Turkeys final roster:


    S: Naz Akyol, Nilay Özdemir


    OPP: Polen Uslupehlivan, Gözde Yilmaz, Hande Baladin


    OH: Gözde Kirdar, Neriman Özsoy, Güldeniz Önal, Meliha Ismailoglu


    MB: Eda Erdem Dündar, Kübra Akman, Büsra Cansu


    L: Gizem Karadayi, Merve Dalbeler



    Özgenur is out :wavy: Can't understand why Meliha is still there :wall:

    Good choice by Ferhat


    Gözde Y. have a small injury, Eda is too. Hande is overrated player at the moment in Turkey by Turkish users, she just 18 yo and unexperienced but she can play as MB if we need ;)

    "Lo sbaglio più grande e quello di credere di aver vinto prima ancora di giocare la partita"

    I am aslo happy with Özgenur's cut. I don't think Hande would have many chances during the tournament if Gözde recover well, but still it is a better idea to give a chance to a young prospective player such as Hande instead of Özgenur who will most probably not be more than an average MB (probably on the level of Bahar)


    By the way, I am surprised that most of the teams have only 3 MBs in their rosters which is quite risky. For Turkey, as stated before, Hande can also play as MB which is her original position. There are only two days left to the start of ECh but still official rosters are not in their website :down:


    Since more or less all rosters are certain, which cut is the most surprising one for you? To me it was Costagrande, I know she was out of shape but still she is good bench player as both Opp and OH

    Quote from ravens#7

    Am I the only one who likes Özgenur Yurtdagülen more than Büşra Cansu?


    I like Ozgenur more, but she hasn't improved these last few years.. she is a good slider, so-so blocker.. BUsra is a better blocker and stronger server.. and because of her experience I think she made the cut. Also as much as I saw on the stats Busra had good numbers

    Quote from USAvolleyfan

    She wasn't called because of her close friendship with Naz, which was causing problems in the team spirit. Because we all know how many talented MBs Turkey has and she not being there doesn't make a difference

    I can't imagine how the friendship could cause problems in the team spirit.... :whistle: For me it's hard to believe in this explanation of her absence....

    Honestly, the reason why Meliha is there should be similar. It's simply a scandal. Now I definitely believe she is together with Ferhat or Ferhat is in love with her platonically. Otherwise did anyone in this forum saw anything special in Meliha's game? That she is better than Ezgi Dagdelenler and many other alternatives?


    I like Özgenur's personality, she is very ambitious but not better than Busra at the moment. This season she refused to stay in the bench of GsD and forced them to loan her to Sariyer where she will play in starting 6. Hope she develops a lot because she deserves it!


    About Bahar, there is no better explanation than the one above. They simply don't want groups in the team that can break team spirit. As far as I know Bahar is not injured and still is in a good shape. It's a shame that she is not invited! Hope she will back in olympics qualification though.

    im in two minds about Özgenur...i sometimes like her performance ,sometimes i do not..Özgenur maybe after 1-2 years but not now..id prefer Toksoy both to Büşra and Özgenur


    lets talk about ECH not gossips

    Bahar is healthy, training with her new team in Italy. She already played a friendly game. That thing about team spirit is bull**** since there are many close friends in the team right now..

    I dont think özgenur will be starter in Sarıyer Belediyesi, they have already Melike Yılmaz who showed great performance already last season and this summer during EL. Especially her blocking stats were great. There is also Alexis Crimes who is way better than Özgenur apparently.
