Thank you very much! I didn't know that
Yep. It's something like €1500+VAT per match

Scholten back from China
That would be nice, but there are reasons (on both sides) to doubt it will happen. The Chinese season is short but intense and, let's be honest, lucrative. Scholten doesn't need to play the end of the German season and may prefer not to. And Münster are very, very happy with Mutiri, and after such an expensive prior season due to all the injuries, they may well have other uses for the money.
A Greek website reports that Rica Maase transfers to Ilisiakos (Vanessa Agbortabi's team) However for me it's not entirely clear if they mean now or for next season, but I guess they mean now. She didn't really show anything convincing and with Mutiri being pretty good she probably wouldn't get much playing time in the rest of the season either, plus it seems Mia Kirchhoff might convert to OPP due to reception issues, so I can imagine it's true. I wonder if/when Münster will publish anything...
She's leaving Münster immediately
Edit: Now on the website
What an embarrassing first set by Aachen No attack at all, no defense, no fighting spirit
Their head coach is officially missing due to "personal reasons" but watching them play makes me wonder if he's already been fired or will be fired very soon
The version I heard was that he'd suffered some sort of injury. Make of that what you will...
church is staying? hmmm I thought her agency said she wasnt.
I said US Citizens, which includes Petit (who has dual nationality) even though she plays under a Canadian flag. Church is still technically there for the moment
Edit: And before anyone asks, the third American last season was Maria Schlegel, who has dual nationality but plays under a Spanish flag
Gloria Mutiri (OPP, USA) completes the roster of Münster.
Officially USA Münster has FIVE US Citizens on the roster now, up from three last season
Anna Church appears to have confirmed on her Volleybox page that she's leaving Münster
"Schüzel"
Maybe Clayton Lucas has been trying so hard to pronounce Dutch names correctly that he's pronouncing the German "oe" like a Dutch "oe"?!
Fun fact: The Netherlands just brought on Bloem van Lier, the niece of former Oranje MB Quinta Steenbergen, and the daughter of Anoek Steenbergen-van Lier, who also played in the Dutch league a few years back. Great to see the literal next generation coming through
Jule Schröder confirms her (re-) retirement
Now the rumor is that Schölzel goes to Pinerolo.
There's also a rumour that Schölzel is going to race in Porsche's GT3 Supercup next season, if her legs can fit in the car
Nele Broszat, who was technically with Münster, leaves for West Virginia University.

I say technically, because she was officially rostered at Münster (and practiced there early in the season), while actually playing at VCO Berlin.
Every person with a clear mind would try to anticipate the first final match to Saturday, but I see zero chance that this will happen
Maybe I don't have a clear mind, but I already booked my travel to Stuttgart for Tuesday, so I really don't want this
More from Münster: Scholten (probably) leaving Germany, Schröder not yet commenting publicly on her future

So many players leaving shouldn't be a surprise, with all the injuries the roster got so big that 7 isn't even half the squad...
Imagine if after the topsy-turvy mess of the quarters, the semifinalists just end up being the regular season top 4
Try me
Nederlanders uitgezonderd, natuurlijk
Iris Scholten announced that she'll leave Münster, but she hasn't announced her destination yet.
Church, Fleck, Van Clewe and Mogensen are under contract for next season, but I'd be surprised if Church really stays there after they signed Fleck.
Expect announcements re next season's lineup to start relatively soon now that Münster's season is over. They had an expensive 22/23 due to the injury situation, so have ended up rather stretched on the administrative side, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the contract processes (which for those not familiar with countries like Germany are rather extensive there) have been slower too. "No news" doesn't mean "nothing happening".
Not sure when Scholten is going to announce. I am however sure that no-one will pronounce her surname correctly
The stream has horrible quality again I wonder if the pay streams are the same?
Yes
So I think the final order is:
Stuttgart
Schwerin
Potsdam
Wiesbaden
Dresden
Suhl
Münster
Vilsbiburg
Aachen
Erfurt
Neuwied
