Looks like Bartsch will stay and Robinson will either go to Fener, China or even Brazil.

Still their is no news about their setter position... Maybe I would go again with Skorupa or Denise Hanke ? Their is no many setters that are that good to play for Novara, but overall they don’t look bad at all on paper.
Very tall team.
The setter is going to be Hancock very likely. Robinson signed with Fenerbahce,there was a rumor about Courtney.
I don't know what to think about Vasileva, imo she should've signed with a lower team to find some confidence back.
I thought Robinson would go to Fenerbahçe? And with this starting team they need a Italian setter, because they already have 4 foreign players in starting 7.

So Bartsch won't go to China? Did she change her mind?
i dont think so, but i am not sure either. I think that Lyubov Sokolova played few games for Eczacibasi as turkish citizenship in 2012/2013 with completly new surname with begins on F and after that she was on the list for the FIVB World Grand champions cup. If i am wrong, let somebody correct me.
No, she never played as Turkish.
In her Bergamo days, she played as Kilic.

Brakocevic can play as domestic player not as foreing.

Novara's first choice is Lloyd. But both Pomi and Monza are also trying to transfer her. I heard that Novara offers the biggest salary among them.
Novara's second choice is Hancock. If they are not able to get Lloyd, it will probably be her.
Vasileva is waste of money to me. I mean they didnt see Vasileva's current performance, their team played against Scandicci many times. How can they transfer such a player
Vasileva isn't a good choice. She isn't in a good shape and also not cheap.
I think Daalderop would be a better option. Her attacking is more powerful. Since her passing is not good, they can sign Marcon as back-row sub. Perinelli is also a good choice.
I think Brakocevic can still be a good player for Novara but nobody can really fill the hole that Egonu will leave. MAYBE someone like Sloetjes, Haak, Vargas or Goncharova could do a similar job but it looks like none of them are available. So who is actually available and better than Jovana? Is Rahimova available? Kasia? Would either of these players be better than Brakocevic? Maybe but it's not clear imo so I can understand why they wanted to sign with her, especially if she counts as Italian, but Egonu is pretty much irreplaceable so any team would struggle if she left.
With Vasileva and Courtney
I cant see my front
I cant believe this year Novara will fight in final of CL but next year they will build such mess team. They even wont have life saver Egonu. Who will save them against tough opponents Brakocevic, Vasileva or Courtney
If they keep Bartsch and sign Lloyd or Hancock, then they won't be able to sign Courtney. Max. 2 players from the same country are allowed.

Robinson is out. She will probably go to Fener.
Novara is trying their best to keep Bartsch.

It's difficult for Novara. However, if they could sign a good setter, try to keep Bartsch, and find another good attacking OH, they can still be very competitive.
Not to mention that Conegliano might lose Danesi. That's a huge loss for their blocking.
There was a rumor that Stevanovic will stay in Scandicci and I'm ok with it. Jovana played at the level she's capable of during the play-offs while I was not very impressed by Adams, she makes too many mistakes for me
Yeah, Stevanović had a VERY up and down season, but she did well in the play-offs and it looks like she has finally settled in, which looks promising for the next season.
I'm also curious about Monza, they wanted to do big things but they have been quiet lately. There is the usual rumor about Danesi and one about Skorupa as well.
Busto seems quite stronger to me with Lowe and Washington (if the rumors are true). Also Villani can find some space in my opinion

Sounds very promising but do you really think Barbolini is capable of making these kind of transfers? I am not surprised he is going to have Vasileva in his team, it is obvious she couldn’t find her real self after the injury. I hope she gets back to her old form.

It's just my thoughts. I don't think Barbolini will transfer another Dutch OH with poor passing, especially after Plak's disappointing performance.
I doubt if Vasileva could be in better shape next season. However, she will play for the NT this summer. Hope it could help.
I think Daalderop can learn more from giovanni caprara than Barbolini. And I think you can't compare the receiving capacity of Daalderop with that of Plak.

I also think Daalderop is a better player and better receiver.

I heard that kiraly didn't want her go to China. He loves Italian league and he's glad when US players go to play in Italy. He strongly advises Karsta to come in Italy.
