I want both Conegliano and Vakif to lose their league finals so they get super fired up for CL finals

Best middle blocker in the league with 0% in attack and nowhere to be found in the block
I don't think she has the stamina to play games one after the other at this point, she's always late on block but i guess it's more due to being tired cause we know she's better than that

I think Rinaldi will be a leader of U-22/B team this summer with this new age category introduced (ECH U22 will be played in the middle of July, qualies are in May), that's why he's not there. Di Martino is the only weird absence for me.
Yeah I think so too for Rinaldi, but I think he would have been still good to add him to the VNL squad at least for the first/first two week
-
looks good except for Zaytsev. Tomasso Rinaldi should have been invited, as well.
Yeah Rinaldi out but Cavuto and Gironi in it's weird. I think also Di Martino deserved a call
-
It sounds like complete pasinism, but he says that Scandicci is interested in Zhu.
I mean, it's Scandicci so it's not unlikely they throw an offer just cause (now if it's a realistic offer or she's interested in it it's a complete different thing)

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
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

Do we know other possible names in Firenze? Other than Stivrins (if that will even happen bcz of her injury)
They are more or less done actually. Nwakalor, Knollema and Panetoni are staying, not official yet but I'm pretty sure Van Gestel, Cambi and Enweonwu are staying too. I think they might keep Sylves aswell, unless they hire an italian MB and a foreigner setter instead of Cambi.
Cambi(?)/Nwakalor
Herbots/Van Gestel
Stivrins/Sylves(?)
Panetoni

Im not really shocked with Mingardi's exclusion. I am more surprised with Antropova's.
She's not Italian, so no surprise in that. Even if Fivb rules in her favor she still doesn't have italian nationality, just sports nationality.
-
Panetoni is a choice imo.
Well she probably won't have any court time anyway 😂
-
What is this Folie hate train? If somebody doesn’t deserve to be called to the NT time and again it’s Chirichella
I don't know about hate train, but she's over 30, in the last 5 years or so she has been more injured than healthy and mb is the position with the most good options for Italy, so even if she's very good when healthy it makes complete sense to let her out for the future
-
Francesca Bosio renewed with Chieri
-
since everyone else is getting naturalizations... we're accepting alexa gray lol
Isn't she also american anyway? I remember some commenter saying her sister plays for USA NT (can't remember what sport though)
-
am I the only one that thinks some of this is weird? like going from the bench in Imoco to the bench in Bergamo?
(yes i know it wont be as simple as that.. and both (Frosini/Loveth) could be starters, idk what Lorrayna is like tbh) but still.
Gennari and Caravello make the most sense. May's passing was really good to end the season, even if her offense wasn't and I don't think she'd renew with bergamo to just be a role player. Lanier is going to be playing no matter what.
Well afaik Caravello is going somwhere else anyway (Cuneo), and yeah Loveth+Lanier sounds just bad lol
-
This is the usual tirade of Pasini against foreigners lol, every time the tranfers start he has a couple of posts complaining about foreigners "stealing" the spot for poor italians that can't find a team. This one is a bit more specific but it could be just something still in vague talks and not even for this season
-
I'm posting this here cause there's no official announcement from the team yet but looks like Pietrini renewed with Scandicci for three more seasons
-
I don't know if Castillo is staying, I thought they would be going back to Merlo now that she recovered but they have a lot of italians available so maybe they want to keep her? I'm really having troubles to understand any of their transfers but what's new lol. More than anything poor Belien and Washington, with that reception line and Malinov as setter they will be there just to block
-
Apparently Mingardi is going to play as OH in Scandicci, I think it's possible they will also use Antropova as recieving OPP in some rotations (she was training as OH at least at the start of the season but not sure if they kept up with that), but well I guess it's going to be a mess and they will try to hire someone else in January lol
-
If she's not a great passer... her + Kosheleva (when healthy) might be a nightmare for Megabox
Megabox is rumored to sign D'Odorico, Rozanski+D'Odorico would make sense, considering we don't even know yet when and in what kind of shape Kosheleva will be back I guess they're going for two OH that can play for the whole season
-
Scandicci gets the first set, fun game so far! Praying circle for Scandicci to keep up now
-
Am I hallucinating it or Plummer used to serve jump spin a while back?
