    im serious....she must be better than Senna Usic....most of the "just good not much" OHs are better than Senna. i watched her little, she is better attacker than Senna for sure.

    Topic is a very underrated OH. She is 1,87cm tall, 31 years old and played in Spain, Romania, Germany, Russia and also for ECZ many years ago ;) (Not many people know that she played in Turkey...)


    IMO, She is the best croatian OH among with Mia Jerkov. Both of them played as starters on NT last ECH and they made a great success! Obviously Topic is not a world-class OH but is a great player with great motivation, team works. Her reception may be a bit shaky sometimes, but if you want to compare her with Usic, I'd definitely say she's a better player than Usic. Usic is completely overrated, on the other hand Topic is underrated.


    Plus, She worked with Tore Aleksanderssen before (same with Hanke and Kauffbelt) so I believe It's going to be an advantage.

    Young Dutch offensive OH Celeste Plak(1995,190cm) officially in Foppafederetti Bergamo.

    Great transfer for Plak, I hope she improves a lot over there. Such teams like Bergamo, Busto, Novara and Piacenza are the best places for young players improvement. Plak's reception and defense are not good at all but with Blagojevic and Merlo as defensers around, It's going to be alright ^^



    Edit : Mattias already wrote this article above :thumbsup:

    I have a question to all users, who is Mira Topic? Better or worse than Senna Usic?

    She is better than Senna for sure! But I think that Croatia has better OH than Mira and Senna :whistle: ...Matea Ikic and Katarina Barun for me are much better .Karla Klarić is the future ,She has a lot of potential. :D :D

    I think she is already the best one in Croatia and perhaps in Serie A too :heart: simply better than Popovic and Alajbeg...despite I'm a fan of Sanja, I have to admit it.

    American S, Alison Landwehr signed with LP Kangasala in the Finnish League.

    that's for sure the reason! it is a pity...anyway Panzetti said they will add another player but he didn't said anything more about it, so maybe it could be Quaranta or not! I don't know much about it!

    I think the last player its probably a libero, to second Enrica.


    Foppa is betting in new players....with the club with less money I think that is the good solution. Plus Diouf will only be land to Busto, she will come back next season, with more experience. And we will have Celeste Plak with more experience in next season too...so I think Foppa is not thinking in only a year thing....which is good imo.


    Well, the club have always invested in young players actually...when Maja Poljak went to the club she was not much know.. just like Ortolani, Arrighetti, Sorokaite, Vasileva, Diouf.......this season they are betting in Celeste Plak...so we will see. :) ..of course, in the past there were other players, more experienced ones in the roster, so the club was always between the bests in Europe, that is not our reality anymore...but the good investment in new players have always been..and I like following these promising girls grow there! ^^

    Barun is not an OH :rolleyes: Karla Klariç is always considered as prospective player but she didn't improve much in Volero in last two seasons. Matea Ikiç is a good defensive player whereas both Mia and Mira surpass her with their offensive power. To me best Crotian OHs are Jerkov>Topiç>Usiç>Ikiç>Cutura>Klariç. Indeed Crotia might have OH-wise richest roster in Europe :thumbup:

    Topic is a solid OH, and a good receiver especially for her height, but I don't think she is ahead of Senna. People are judging her too much after this season.. and after the rumors about her and Micelli came out everybody is really hard on her.. She is a good player and she has showed, even this season she was playing better just before Cl F4.. and during
