2019/2020 Transfers News & Discussion

  • GS squad so far looks like:


    Selcuk-Venno

    Antonov-Foreign spiker (Taht is rumoured)

    Vahit Emre-Dogukan Ulu

    Burak (L)


    Most of the locals are staying and the squad looks much better than last year. Lets hope Venno gets rid of his beer belly during summer :D

  • Venno was incredible but during play offs he wasnt impressive at all. Happy that Antonov is staying he contributed a lot. I don't get vahif emre's transfer, of course he is by far the best attacking mb right now but if Nedim ozbey was such a big fan of him why did he exclude him from nt roster?🤔 He is not injured as far as I know

  • I am really not sure about Patch to Taubate. Athletically he is second to none. His personality and all-around great vibes are so easy to market. He was such a perfect match for Berlin. He still needs to work on his serve and block (moreso his serve). I was at his first NCAA Championship match back in 2013 when he went absent (mind you he was only 19 years old). He looks good with the US National Team but he has a great supporting cast around him. He had a rough year at Vibo Valentia because it was a huge drop in talent.


    He was on a short leash at Berlin, and I watched some matches were he was replaced early after a few mistakes. That was the drawback of playing with an opposite that was already established at the club. While he found himself in the starting lineup to finish the regular season, Russell has made more of a positive impact in the finals thus far. Russell is also a beast, but his large number of kills are accompanied by his fair share of attack errors/blocks.


    I hope he lands in a place that is he is a good fit after having a good summer with the USA NT.

  • Gavin Schmitt going to KEPCO

    Leo Andric at OK Savings Bank

    Michael Sanchez to KB Insurance

    Andres Villena at the Korean Air Jumbos

    Liberman Agamez to Woori Card

    Yosvany Hernandez to Hyndai Captial Sky Walkers


    and the biggest surprise: Joe Norman to the Samsung BlueFangs.

  • KOVO draft pick in order of selection:


    1 Gavin Schmitt -> KEPCO

    2 Leo Andric -> OK Savings Bank

    3 Michael Sanchez -> KB Stars Insurance

    4 Andres Villena -> Korean Air Jumbos

    5 Liberman Agamez -> Woori Card Wibee (renewed)

    6 Joseph Norman -> Samsung Bluefangs

    7 Yosvany Hernandez -> Hyundai Skywalkers


    I'm sad Schmitt ended in KEPCO, where he won't win anything. Sanchez was unlucky too picked by KB Stars Insurance.


    I'm really happy for Villena, one of my favourite players. And he will also play with Jung Ji-seok! Many good vibes. :cheesy:

  • It is said that John Perrin (OH) will "return" Beijing BAW.

    I doubt the rumor because John Perrin is also reported that he will join a Brazilian club.

  • It is said that John Perrin (OH) will "return" Beijing BAW.

    I doubt the rumor because John Perrin is also reported that he will join a Brazilian club.

    Perrin himself has announced he's going to play for Sada Cruzeiro in Brazil and that it's a done deal, so unless the deal has gone down the drain, I'm not sure there's much to this Beijing rumor.

  • Perrin himself has announced he's going to play for Sada Cruzeiro in Brazil and that it's a done deal, so unless the deal has gone down the drain, I'm not sure there's much to this Beijing rumor.

    Perrin had a history denying signed contract.


    He and his agent did before when Perrin signed with Resivia in Poland. When he got an BIG offer from China, he denied the deal he already signed.


    For reminder, you can read below link.


    HOW MUCH WILL GORDON PERRIN TAKE IN CHINA?!

  • The rumor should be true:

    Leonardo Levya Martinez (OH) will renew one-year contract with Beijing BAW.

    At least, Levya "likes" playing volleyball in China.
