This year Vakif might not win anything. But if they keep the same roster (add a better setter and a better passer) they might win everything again. Vakifbank with Gabi + Haak took two years to win everything.

Transfer Rumors & Discussion (2023/2024)

But that is not problem anymore with Fahr comeback.
Both Lubian and Fahr are doing amazing job, Fahr is already on high level after so many months without matches in her legs.
That is future of Imoco. Domestic MB duo with libero.Yes, Fahr'coming back kind of solves the problem. But I hope the club/Santarelli treat this carefully, two ACL in a row is not small injury.

I agree Haak fits Imoco and Woloz very well. But one of the negative effect about Paola leaving Imoco is that they loss an important Italian player for domestic league. Santarelli sometimes have to rotate and use substitute to make sure there are enough italian players on court, using Gennari even when she has a bad performance. As for Championship, no problems.
It's not a big deal. They will rule the league anyway. Monza and Novara have weak setters. They can't be title contenders. While Scandicci is... Scandicci.

Why not Logan Tom? I mean since we are enumerating retired players...

sorry for my wrong choice of words but i intended to say that Hill and MBH are also crucial factors that Imoco and Vakif won everything in one season.

Folks, Haak is great. No doubt about it. But Egonu (ok, now she isn't in her best shape) in the past years did things that not even Boskovic can (things never seen before in Volleyball). The best version of Egonu is IRREPLACEABLE
What she did exactly?

Dude you are Serbian...obv you will never admit that Best Egonu > Best Boskovic.
This doesn't mean I am denying that at the moment Bosko > Egonu
-
this season Boskovic is clearly ahead of Egonu. Boskovic is consistent but Egonu in better shape was abble tô kick everyone. Won a CL with a not great team. Something that Boskovic wasnt abble tô do.

Dude you are Italian, you will never admit that this "best Egonu" is just projection.
Even Guidetti 2 years ago when he voted for Tijana for "best opposite of decade" said that Tijana is better player at the moment and that biggest difference is back row attack but that Egonu have potential to become something unseen in volleyball. And as we see two years later, this was not happened and probably will never will, she is just one year younger than Boskovic.

If team with Carlini, Egonu, MBH, Piccinini, Veljkovic and Chirrichella is "not great team" than you are right.

According to Pasini, it "seems certain" that Zé will go to THY and bring along some Brazilians incl. Julia Bergmann.
I don't think Julia is going to Imoco. She said in an interview a couple weeks ago that she had already decided on her club for next season, and the reports on Imoco only said that she was on their radar, but that nothing was settled.

well she scored 45 and eliminated us from the WCH.

God what a game that was 😱
I still get goosebumps thinking about it 🥵

Piccinini was really old and Far from her prime. But stiil good/ok. Carlini isnt bad but isnt that great. Chirichella is a ok MB. Veljkovic was a really good MB and MBH (If i am not mistaken) was starting her prime. The team wasnt Bad. But wasnt great. Was Far from favourite IMO.
Egonu was really Young and the main factor imo.
IMO Boskovic hád way betters or same level teams and didnt Win CL. She isnt winning TL or Kupa Voley for ECZ either.
Boskovic is the best player in the world right nów. No doubt. Even Haak seems better than Egonu. In fact. Egonu Lost something on Summer NT. I Hope she bounce back.

Egonu, Walosh, Hill, Syla, De Kruijf, Folie, MDG
Boskovic, Mirkovic, Baladin, Madison, Beyza, Ogbogu, Simge
same level or way betters, i really cannot say

It's not projection when she has shown over and over that when she's playing at her best, no other opp can't match.
What she lacks is consistency. Tijana, on the other hand, has been consistent since prolly 2016/17 and that's where she has the upper hand.
I remember when Gio made that comment about how Tica and Zhu can be stopped but Egonu cannot. He was referring to the best version of Egonu. At this point we all know that Egonu is playing against herself. If she ever manages to keep that consistency, we might see what Gio was referring to as unseen in vball

Lol. What cannot be denied is that Boskovic has played in teams full of starts and havent been able to win neither CL nor the Turkish league. It cannot be anyones but Bosko's fault all the time. She's a great player, yes, but also shares part of the fault there.
it's funny how for Bosko fans when they don't win anything at a club level os the setter's or OHs' fault or whatnot but never Bsokovic but when the same happens to Egonu is all her fault lol.

OMG another thread dedicated to Egonu - Boskovic...
Can we talk about transfers instead?

We all knew the only winner from the trade was Imoco: Haak drastically improved under Guidetti. She kills the ball in or out of system and adds unexpected good defensive skills for an opposite; and most of all she shows great attitude and fighting spirits. She fits Imoco even better than Paola.
Paola is a great player. No need to change her already. She has 5 months to work with Guidetti and improve ahead.
I beg to differ. Yeah, the winner in the trade off was Conegliano for sure but thats also due to the better OH lineup. Even Plummer's game looks much better than last year's.
Had they had the same quality of OHs last year, they prolly would've won everything again. What Egonu did with Conegliano would is prolly unmatched tbh.
