It's a guess.
Zehra at Saga... we can dream lol
They can actually afford to buy her contract with vakifbank. But they should instead tried ogbogu. Only because most likely she will only be spending her time in bench over Zehra who is a local player.

It would be exquisite if Zehra came to Japan but I think very unlikely. Ogbogu would also be welcome, but it would be nice to see SAGA's MBs get full time shots instead of only one.
I wish SAGA would go import free. They seemed stocked better than other teams to win a championship foreigner free. It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it
-
They cannot afford Zehra Gunes. Nobody can.
She is the best Turkish MB and Vakif don't have replacement, so maybe they can manage to boost Zehra salaries if insist with transfer.

Guidetti will be the first to block Zehra's transfer of ever
. But nothing wrong with "dreaming". Ogbogu would be good for Japan. She's like Akinradewo. -
Saitama, Toyota, saga etc...
This is very usual for jvl to recruit and hire foreign player so late?
September is late as teams are in practice for the season. Throw in the World Champs this year, I would say July, really early.

No Japanese team is going to pay Turkish rates, unless they believe it will get them a title. Even then, that is a lot of money and after two years of Covid with lower crowds, that may be too big of a step.
$200K-300K for a player, yes, not unexpected. $500K is going to be multiple year contract, better be bringing titles with you.
Saga just won the title, I think that they would be favorites with a foreign opposite coming in.
Toray/NEC are probably tied for second. JT has fallen backwards without Thatdao and Annie, Karsta will be ok, but not Annie level.
Ageo are decent, but that is a big splash and they just had Lorene....I don't know if it would push them over Toray and NEC.

Do we know Thatdao isn't sticking around? I haven't seen any bye-bye from her , have I?

Eda is the best Turkish MB, Zehra knows this. Besides who doesn't follow Zehra? she's about to surpass Douglas very soon.

Yes but Eda is in Fener.
Point is, Vakif cannot replace Zehra.

You said best Turkish MB c'mon now. Also If Vakifbank can get Egonu they can also swap all the other players in their roster with the right bargain. No one is irreplaceable.

Yoshitake participated last year so I'm sure there are some hidden gems there

Her first U20 experience was a bust. She looked promising during Kurowashiki but wasn't able to show any of that prowess at the U20.

I don't know what went down tbh. I was only able to watch the first match. I wanted to see the Furukawa setter since their coach sounded especially fond of her but I don't think she did well either.

I had to look it up. It's not something I've been tracking
This was the SF (played earlier today--can't find scores but we know who won):
- Kinrankai (Osaka) v Hikami (Hyogo)
- Jonan Gakuen (Osaka) v Shitennoji (Osaka)
Anna Uemura (U20 MVP) and Sanae Omori (U18 MVP) play for Kinrankai . I don't know if they will be there. Probably, tho
I don't know anyone on the other teams. Congratulations Kinrankai

Furukawa setter was very disappointing. Made me a sad
Yoshitake didn't dress for the last match or two. I forget. Still a mystery what happened to her and Saiki , who also didn't dress. They weren't even in house for the Final
-
Anna Uemura is there, and the tiny Kinrankai libero from U20. Not seeing Sanae Omori yet.
It's a really good stream!
I'm rooting for Jonan Gakuen because they have a player whose haircut seems to exceed the dictated high school length. She looks like a freak
-
Well dang, Jonan took the first set 25-20 and looked good. After that they look scared, and Kinrankai took the second set 25–10, and are up 9–2 in the third
