2019 / 2020 Transfer Rumors & Discussion (Female)

I respect her decision but it is very unrealistic for B. Martinez to expect she can play with her sister every season. That's not how it works.

As far as I remember this was the only season that they played together overseas, before they always played in different teams.

Well, Monique and Michelle have managed to play in the same team for, I think, a total of 8 seasons so far (in 3 different teams). They'll play together again next season

Imagine they tell ur sibling she wasn't enough and they don't want to sign with her again but they do want you, I guess it was an awkward situation in general, she should have stayed imo but I can't blame her for leaving.

Also last season in Aydin with her sister, was one of her best seasons where she grew the most as a player, it translates to NT season even now. Clearly she was way more comfortable and happy this way. We will see if they continue together.

You are right, this was the first season that they played together overseas.

Dominican players usually player together. This is more a thing related to the fact they share the same agent (a well known chubby guy in the FIVB) than a family matter.

Just the superlatives - good dominican players get a contract by her own. For example, BLC and Castillo and now Pena.

We have cases like Pena (when she was younger and not such a good hitter like now) + Rivera in the disappeared Bursa, Marte + Jiniery in France some seasons ago, the three dominicans in Aydin, Niverka + Eve, Peralta + Eve and Fersola + Sidarka, Pena + Arias in Peruvian league, etc.

Brayelin is slowly slowly making her own name in the international stage, so I am sure she will get a contract by her own soon

I guess three contracts on her own in Italy (Bolzano, Busto, Pomi) don't count?

EDIT Before anyone else corrects me, research just reminded me that Rivera and Mambru also went to Bolzano back then. I didn't remember them at all there

Yes, sure, that counts a lot! But we saw how in this last season she was again signed with two other dominican players (her sister and Gonzalez). This is because she didnt have such a great season in Pomi.

For me, after her good season in Aydin and her good performance so far in the VNL, she could get a contract again by her own. That is what I meant to say, I forgot the "again".

Bolzano signed Rivera and Mambru in January back then because Mari and Matea Ikic decided to leave the team

I hope ezgi would go to aydın. Bjk already has arelya, she is not the best local setter but definitely deserves to be a starter

Also I heard that guidetti wants Buse Ünal as a backup to Cansu. I can understand him because last year Cansu felt too stressed without a good backup

I don't get why Plak wants to keep playing as OH,she can be a good opposite like she was in Bergamo back in the days. She also played mostly as opposite with her NT in recent years IIRC.

This team can be a bit "clumsy" with Boz and Plak on court together, so it's better to sign a tall setter IMO, Dilik is a blocking liability

I agree with you about plak, i don't think she is improving as OH in last 3 seasons. Also in nt, there are Buijs and Nika who are both better than Plak at reception. And I don't expect Sloetjes to play in NT for another Olympic cycle after Tokyo. Thus, it would make sense that she should start playing as regular opp soon

What about Wang Simin in season 2018-'19?

Quote from forzalube

She studied in USA because Beijing preferred to loan Wang Lin from Bayi (main) and Wang Meng-jie from Shandong (Top 4).

~del, sorry, wrong thread...factual not rumour

Zhejiang VC announced a European OH and a European MB will join it. Who knows their names?
