Transfer Rumors & Discussion (2022/2023)

    Quote from volleySrb

    Dinamo Bucurest or Volontari? :)

    I know you're joking, but she didn't say which team (and probably the reporter was not knowledgeable enough to ask), only implied that it was either A1 or VVSL because she said those were the best leagues.

    I dont remember Busa/Ezca, i remember when we talked Busa in Fakif as fantasy transfer.


    But Busa is another level above Gorecka or any Ecza OH.


    Comparing Lazovic to Meliha and Derya is provocation :P

    If Busa is that good, she should carry PTT in the league, I’m not counting one good match. Sometimes when I read your posts, I feel like you’re another version of crovolley, even nickname is similar.

    Sara Klisura (Serbian OH) will be joining Rapid Bucuresti

    And their coach Carlo Parisi will be replaced by Branko Gajic (previously Panathinaikos)

    Not a surprise. Rapid had designs on a championship to celebrate its 100th year. For whatever reason, it doesn't look possible with the players selected by the coach. Weaknesses at OH and reception, as others have pointed out. So the coach had to go . . . Rapid can't fire all the players. I expect even more changes . . .

    How Busa alone can carry PTT? She is not dominant OPP or attacking OH, its not her job. When we talk about Vakif, she would play her role.

    What would be Busa’s role in Vakif? :gone: They already have Gabi as an all round OH with perfect reception. So they rather need someone more offensive next to her.

    Malinov is out for sure, but i dont know hot they will fit non-italian setter with Castillo, Zhu, Washington and Belien.


    Antropova count as italian?

    I'm not sure how the foreigner limits work exactly in A1. I know it is "there can be four foreigners", but


    the libero castillo is never on court the same time as the middles washington and belien, so at any given moment would they only count as two?

    :(


    I expect Eri Xue to play in Europe

    I think after her ncaa she got a desk job at beijing auto company which sponsors the vb team, they were sorely missing middles and called her up.


    I'm not sure if she still works there

    Washington or Belien will be the odd one out.


    Washington's barely played as it is... Alberti has seen a lot of court time. Belien has been pretty average, if not poor anyways.

    More offensive than Gabi? lol


    They need someone to cary defense, replace MBH and dont be dead weight.


    Both Bajema and Nika not scoring at all in important matches, and they are clear weakness at reception and attacking point of opposition.

    Yes, more offensive than Gabi, because she is the player who carry their reception and defence, her offence is another thing, which makes her best in the world. This is my last post in this narration, because as I said many times, you are not objective at all. Busa is the player, who fits Serbian NT perfectly, but she is not top team material.

    Their biggest weakness is definitely in the receives of their 2nd OH (which rotates between 2 Romanian players)

    Simply targeting them will cause the team to crumble


    So far their setter Lee Dayeong who's agile and tall has been mostly able to save the poor receives and convert them into decent to good sets (also during her time in PAOK), but when she sat out due to her hamstring injury for Rapid's match against Voluntari, they collapsed badly and lost 0-3


    Rapid has a fairly inconsistent Romanian OPP

    Also Jennifer Cross's blocks has been good but her attacks seem off, her jump feels very slow and heavy, so she's not scoring much at all

    Now that they've recruited a new foreigner OH Sara Klisura, and with the 4 foreigner limit in Romania, I have a feeling Cross will be the first foreigner off the roster

    But this will mean a Romanian MB will play, and Pusic's time as a libero on court will be halved since previously she swapped with both foreign MB players.

    Thai fans are saying Pornpun shared on a livestream that she received offers from Novara and Sariyer, but she decided on Rapid.

    Due to low salary from Novara and possibly foreigner limit on Sariyer (which already has 2 other Thai players on the roster).


    I wonder why... I don't think she'll be guaranteed starting setter on Rapid either

    But their new coach is from the same agency as Pornpun so it's possible

    Oh I wish she accepted Sarıyer'e offer;(

    Ajcharaporn is playing poor lately, they could play with a Turkish OH next to Chatchu-On and let Pornpun set
