Matthias, can you write something more about Skorupka? I see that she was backup OP, both in Köpenicker SC Berlin and in VC Wiesbaden, however she can also play as OH, though I suppose that she's rather poor receiver. I guess that she probably didn't get so many chances to play in league. How is her level overall

She played in 2nd league until 2012, then she came to Köpenick, a weak team. There she practically never played, only as serving substitute. Surprisingly she got a contract in Wiesbaden (a good team) in 2013 and there she got much more playing time, in the beginning of the season when Ivanovic was still recovering from a shoulder surgery she even was starter as OH. The coach said in an interview that of all players in Wiesbaden she was the one who made the biggest improvement throughout the season and always was eager to learn. Later in the season when all players were healthy she played less but when she did she usually was OK, she is left handed so she is more suitable for OPP but her reception is not terrible. However I'd be very surprised to see her in starting six in Poland. Pila is not a strong team as far as I know, so she can be OK for them as backup player. She had one really good match when Muijlwijk had a poor day and Skorupka came in as OPP and contributed a lot to turning the match around for her team.

Thanks for opinion
well, Piła has right now as Wing-Spikers: Natalia Krawulska (OH/OP), Marzena Wilczyńska (OH/OP), Justyna Raczyńska (OH) and maybe Anna Rybaczewska (OH). Having competition like that Skorupka can get many chances to play 
one more foreign OP probably will be also there

a journalist who name is murat yücekök (voleybolextre.com) wrote on twitter that he is so excited for canakkale belediye spor's transfers. he is very reliable source imo.and said that "i am sure they will do some suprise next season". if they transfer some good players,turkish league would be more competitive. bursa and ilbank dont anounce their new players. besitas(vesna djuric-starovic) and idman ocagi(wang-pietersen) has 2 foreingers and probably they are looking for another one espacially OH. yesilyurt and nilufer belediye will be the weakest teams. sarıyer already has 3 foreingers. they are looking for young talented turkish players . they have ortiz,malasevic and ukrainan setter alicia (forgot her sirname ).

Does anyone know why Galatasaray does not announce new players officially? Is it because they are still expecting a new sponsorship with Turk Telekom?
