MBH with high braid is something I didn't know I needed, so pretty!

Quote from voulter

Well he did also say "having a lot of followers doesn't matter if there's no results on court". I think it's fair to say that a player with a huge following can help the status of the team.

And for the Novara debacle, the fans complained about Novara signing Gray and Poulter (and it was more along the lines of Novara signing many Busto players in the last few years) and made a poster about it, the club had nothing to do with it

Ah yes, I was referring to the fans, I don't think any club would ever do something like that I just think it lowers the player that the first thing they say about her coming to Busto (that's still in the top 5 best teams in italy) is that she will help the sponsors. Then nothing wrong in doing marketing campaigns or launching a brand, I was reflecting on the poor (imho) choice of words

Quote from Sidney

According to this , Busto's president confirmed Rosamaria and Lloyd. Funny thing is that he claims Rosamaria is good for marketing purposes and even talks about instagram's followers

Rosamaria e Carli Lloyd: nova dupla do Busto Arsizio – Web Vôlei (webvolei.com.br)

That's actually pretty sad, I talked with a few other volleyball fans and no one likes how he talked about Rosamaria. Another "funny" thing is that Busto posted a while ago that they were "Italy's most loved team" because that had more followers "even without players with millions of followers". Also, they pretty much made fun Novara when there were the rumors about Gray and Poulter but they nonchalantly signed Rosamaria (and no problem with that, just don't make fun of other teams...)

Sorry for the spam, I just love to gossip a bit

I think the names make sense, Battistoni did very well when she was called off the bench and players like Signorile are very likely out of NT picture bcs they aren't getting younger (Signorile was in NT when Lo Bianco was there...). It's no mystery that Mazzanti prefers Nwakalor (and so do I), she has huge potential, did great both in VNL and club season and is young. I am also surprised by the lack of Parrocchiale but I guess, as some one said, that she is not good enough to take Moky's place and not young enough to be her successor (Btw, she had some physical problem in the 3 match against Novara, may be related?). Fersino was outstanding all season long so deserved call and I am pleasantly surprised by Panetoni, imho did a very good club season and needs to be tested. No great surprises in the other positions, except maybe Perinelli

Quote from Meatballs

Someone made a very interesting comment recently and I understood why I don't like Cansu as much. Although Cansu's game looks more enjoyable as result, her technique is so wrong that my eyes sometimes bleed while watching her (this is especially when she runs off the net and lifts to ball like she is throwing a watermelon on the sky). On the other side, Naz looks very correct and it is very pleasing to watch her. However, eventually what matters is the result, not how they do it, so I completely respect Cansu, though now I know why I had a negative bias towards her all this time.

Good metaphor btw I think it's so evident when she is so far from her attacker and has to set to the other side of the court. Cansu's movement seems so big and tiresome, while Naz's looks so effortless and effective

Examples from yesterday's match at 2:07:44 (both from Naz and Eda) and 2:09:39 (Cansu)

Overall (when at her best) Cansu's game is so good and fun to watch while Naz is a bit more conservative but Naz's technique is superior imho

Can I say a bad thing? This game of Vakif reminded me of Eczaci last year

I hope for a better match level wise in the next game

I liked Cansu for how creative she used to be and how much she forced to spread the game in a way that actually worked. But she has been boring for a while tbh.

Same here, the Cansu of Club World Champs was so good but then she started to play worse. Boring (Haakball) but also a bit imprecise

For Vakif Haak with 33 points, next in line is Zehra with 11 (6 blocks) bad game by Cansu and the pins. Also I would have tried Aylin

Fenerrrr

I want to know if in a month's time Tugba will start in VNL without having played a single full game... She should be tried rn

After 2 sets Vargas has 18 points and Haak 24

Vargas is so good btw, greatly improved form last season

Blackout time for Fener

It's Vargahce vs Haakifbank

Quote from denzz

Nobody is watching? It's too quiet here

I was wondering the same ahah I turned in to see a nice comeback by Fener

Ceren is great receiving libero but a very poor defensive one...

Edit: Berin is in

Lanier stays in Bergamo

Quote from Let's go orange

I thought Chirichella was rumored to sign with Scandicci?

Yes, but in the end she is staying in Novara, I don't know for how many seasons she renewed tho

Rumors everyone knows but I'll share anyway:

Washington was out today with a few fans of Novara and posted a story about missing Novara and Hancock so she is actually moving. She also posted a story tagging Nika and saying "I'll miss you, kick asses in Turkey!" So Nika to Vakif is happening.

Ebrar posted about the end of the season and wrote "See you next season", confirming she is staying in Novara (she even replied to my comment with a "" so I've been blessed)

Last but not least, seems that for next season they are basically done with

Poulter-Battistoni (?)

Ebrar-Julia Ituma

Cate-Carcases-Adams-Giovannini

Chirichella-Bonifacio-Danesi- 4th MB

Fersino-2nd L
