I seriously doubt it, if they're gonna sign Egonu, that means Zhu is most likely going back to China.

No, Egonu and Zhu Ting will play together in the same Vakifbank team next year.

Lonneke will leave.

With Megan Hodge on court Conegliano wouldn't have lost this match... unfortunately Sylla is not even close to Megan's level.

Conegliano has a great team with excellent players, but hasn't got any phenomenal one such as Boskovic, Zhu Ting and Egonu.

This season is probably the last one for Egonu in Italian League, because according to rumors she will play in Vakifbank next year. So this is the last chance for Novara to win CL.

Novara(Egonu), Eczacibasi(Boskovic) and Vakifbank(Zhu Ting) are the 3 contenders this year.

Next year Vakifbank with Egonu and Zhu Ting will just smash down everybody

From today on, Paola Egonu is not a teenager anymore as she turns 20 years old.

Happy birthday to her!

Conegliano with Hill and Lowe can't sign any other US player. And Foecke is not really what they are looking for...they want an experienced world class OH, similar to Megan Easy.

I don't know how is Bethania De La Cruz current shape, last season she didn't perform so well in Scandicci but she definitely has the experience and the potential to be one of the candidates for this role. Let's see what's gonna happen in January.

And we had Filottrano vs Cuneo last week

They do this every year. After showing (potentially) exciting matches in the beginning, they gradually switch to middle and lower ranked teams almost exclusively. It's OK to show those too once in a while (unlike what Turkish TV is doing), but it sucks when such matches are all you get. I don't know if it's done on purpose to make people pay for the online streaming service, but I can't imagine that RAI (and other TV channels taking over from them, like Sport Klub) is too happy with such a deal.

The answer is quite simple: there's a deal between the A1 League (Legavolley) and RAI in order to treat all teams (and their sponsors) equally.

If RAI broadcasted only big matches between big teams, then the sponsors of the other teams wouldn't find it attractive anymore to invest money in volleyball, and the A1 League wouldn't exist anymore.

What about Malasevic?

No way. She is very far away Easy's level.

Since Monza compete in the challenge cup, Anne Buijs cannot play CL if she transfers to Conegliano. They need to transfer a player who is not registered in any of the european cups.

Even if Buijs didn't play any match in Challenge Cup?

If Conegliano is looking for a player that is willing to break her current contract then Grothues is absolutely the perfect choice....because this is exactly what she has done in the past 2 seasons with Bolzano and Chemik. ( De La Cruz would be a better choice).

Where is De La Cruz playing now?

In this interview the president of Imoco Conegliano says they are looking for a substitute of Megan Easy but it's complicated because they want a player of the same level as Megan. He says after the first half of December it will be more clear which players will be available on the market, but as far as I know all the world class OHs already have a contract with a team. He probably doesn't mind paying more to break some existing contract, like for example Anne Buijs' one with Monza (there were rumors Monza wanted to cut her due to her injury)?

I can't think of any other option..maybe some OH from Chinese League whose team doesn't qualify for playoff? There are not many players in the world who can replace Megan Easy.

Lardini Filottrano fired Luca Chiappini. His vice Filippo Schiavo has been promoted as new head coach.

According to rumors Megan Easy had the rupture of the achilles tendon, same injury she suffered last year.

I'm afraid this is the end of her career..

Kk15

Pomì Casalmaggiore didn't keep Leo for two reasons:

1. She is too short, Gaspari wanted tall setters and in general a tall team.

2. The management wanted to renovate completely the roster after the disaster season they had last year.
