2019 / 2020 Transfer Rumors & Discussion (Female)

  • Santiago was effective in attacking in Japanese league, but some factors that contributed to that were also a good setter and the height advantage over majority of her blockers. Had they all been Akin or Jack's height and skill wise on the other side and 3 or 2 of them blocking her at the same time, would she still be as effective?............probably not.


    She isn't bad, but not great either......European league of sort is a no like others said. Besides, there are smaller Asian blockers than her and are better both in terms of blocking and attacking and they haven't been called to play in European leagues..................well...................... that is a lie, Pleumjit has played in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia and Chinese leagues before.


    Have there been other Asian MB that played outside of Asian leagues that i'm not aware of?

    I have been a fan of japan league. Actually even italia and turkish league.


    Japan club this season got most of their foreign player a middle blocker. Jack and akin was obviously on top of middle blockers because they are really good and well experienced but other club also got freya, heryman, rhamat & doris and they are well experienced as well specially heryman and freya. santiago on the other hand was her first time to play abroad after college and already put on her name there next to akin and jack was already a big deal and not overhyped and as faar as i remember tominaga isn't there because she was playing with filottrano in italia. I saw some articles as well because i am curious about her. she played wing on some of videos. Thailand offered her but she declined the offer. also rumoured news that she had offered from galatasaray article 2017 which she and the gala declined as well. She is young and with her performance in japan i think she has a chance to play in Europe in next couple of yrs.

    Diouf in Novara or Korea

    Bergomo want Skorupa , Melandri or Heyrman and THA OH/OP Ajcharaporn Kongyot.

    If diouf's name is on top of list then she has a big chance to play in KOVO. Because they do assessments and rank all the applications before realising the final list for the tryouts. So, tryout is just a formality and the club teams coaches already saw all players highlights and all.

  • There was a season where an Azerbaijani team was composed of almost all the thai national team :lol:

    Yas ❤️ Onuma, Pleujmit, Wilavan, Amporn, Nootsara, Malika, Wanna. They all played in Azerbaijan 🙂

  • Diouf in Novara or Korea

    You will soon find out if Diouf will play in Korea next season or not. The KOVO tryout will be held on May 1-3 in Toronto. So if she doesn't show up in Toronto for the tryout at the start of May then she can't play in Korea.


    Initially, when the news came out in Korea there are some doubts whether Diouf would actually attend the tryout. This is because she is a big name player and would probably get a bigger offer from somewhere else than what the Korean team can offer.


    Btw the full list of all the players invited to the tryout can be found here https://www.kovo.co.kr/news/61…vonews_view.asp?num=25586

    I only know two MBs from china that ever played in euro.Ma Yunwen and Wu YongMei

  • Rumor of Sladjana Mirkovic to Bergamo.... with Abbondanza perhaps?

  • Brakocević is waiting for an offert from Budowlani Łódź, she liked the city and she wants to stay, her husband confirmed that they still didn’t decide so for sure it’s not done 8o

  • As per Worldofvolley, Thaisa is going to Minas next season she rejected an offer from Japan.


    Source.


    Edit: This means either Natalia or Gabi leaves. Or maybe both of them will leave since a team can only have 2 7-point players. The three of them are worth 7 points.

    Macris is now a 7 point player as well. So both Natalia and Gabi are leaving. They’re rumored to play for Eczacibasi and Vakifbank, respectively.

  • according to this article http://www.volleynews.gr/index.php/component/k2/item/57293-αποκάλυψη-ιταλός-πιλότος-στον-πάγκο-του-μαρκοπούλου-θα-απογειώσει-τα-μεσόγεια Markopoulo (greek team) is going to hire a very good italian coach who has been in italian and turkish league.

    Mmm... this italian person has been training in Turkey and Italy. The first names that cross my mind are Micelli, Barbolini, Caprara, Bertini, Abbondanza and Guidetti.


    May be one between Abbondanza and Bertini.

  • Among these coaches the president of Markopoulo is fb friend with Caprara, but Caprara has been again in Greece.


    Also, the president of Markopoulo had upload on fb a picture of Guidetti and wrote "proud of you my friend",but i dont think its possible to bring him in Greece.

  • Reported tainara is the first to be contracted by barueri!


    I think ze will use under 20 or under 23 teams for this. I just hope so
