    what did she do in eczacibasi? Reveal it here if you claim something about her.

    She has all the right talking about Fakbas, it is indeed a green flag for me rather than red flag. It just shows that she doesn't accept any bullshit and this shows character rather than being toxic.


    She is pure talent. She showed it already by playing half a season and being one of the best blocker of the league. It would be crime not to involve her at least the wide roster of NT

    she quit training once and lost her passion when she does not get what she thinks she deserve.


    maybe she was rigth but talking bad about someone you've worked with before in every interview is totally a sign of toxicity. We can think differently. She gives me neriman vibes.


    Her block stats were always high when she plays for other team than Eczacıbaşı, but whenever she got the chances at Eczacıbaşı, she looked like an average. Of course, she will be in the wide roster, but I do not expect her to be one of the main players.

    Why do you claim that she is toxic?🙄

    she did some not good things in Eczacıbaşı, and she talks too much about Ferhat.


    also she sometimes tweets like Tugba 1-2 years ago which had some references.


    in short ı think She is a bit problematic player with huge ego.

    ı won't be surprised if Yasemin wont get much chances because she is a bit toxic, we are in olympic year and almost has zero NT experiences, she is also 25 not so young anymore to adapt to the team. We will have Begüm to adapt soon.

    I wish the camp had the balls to cut Zehra altogether. She will get a call back when she works hard again.

    cutting zehra?? lol


    ı also remember you were cutting Eda last summer


    some players have infinite credits thanks to their epic performances before and Zehra is one of them.

    i think their opp will be alexia and they will renew Maglio,


    Alexia - Dilay/çağla

    Rozanski - Czyrnianska

    Maglio - Bengisu


    pretty decent lineup. they would have good servers and good combination of young and experienced players.

    Meliha and Vargas can, Alexia and Vargas cannot. According to the recent interview, Santarelli considers VNL as a preparation for Olympics and thinks Vargas already has too much time to rest...Unless he thinks excluding Vargas a week during VNL, Alexia won't have a chance for NT this summer. I also think she is not NT material anymore, could only be useful as a back up but instead of her I would try someone from youth category.

    but the problem is that there is no opp in youth cotegories. Because of that, they use names like Ceylin, İpar and Derya who are originally OHs.

    It seems clear that Meliha and Vargas can play together?!


    but can alexia carutasu and vargas be together on the same list? I'm talking about both being signed up to play in the VNL.

    There are rumors of 2025 changes to the rules, but is there any certainty?

    yes it is certain that Alexia and Vargas can play together after this year.

    I am sure, Meliha can play with Vargas, she is not counted as naturalized.


    Hande is younger and more reliable on attack. Hande is not stable on attack but sometimes change the game's flow, she will start with Ebrar.


    Also, last summer, Hande did really good job on defense and reception which are the elements that Meliha can contribute to the team.

    I see naz-eda beef has resurfaced on twitter. Fans on both sides are jabbing each other. Finally someone wrote a theory on what actually happened between the two. I have no idea if this person is telling the truth or not but interesting nonetheless:


    https://x.com/fedarinalb/status/1763938169995563042?s=46

    She told the story by focusing on mainly Eda's side.


    I believe Eda has huge ego and sometimes ıt creates problems. About Naz, she wasn't focusing on volleyball much after the birth. That's may caused problems. Naz's performing poorly and Eda is very strong within the club, she did not like Naz's performance and may have influenced her departure.


    Also, probably one of the problems is that people close to Naz on social media criticized Eda heavily, it may have rightfully disturbed Eda. We have not seen anyone close to Eda talking bad about Naz.

    She was bad in the Turkish final the last season , in the second semifinal on CL and also in the first and the last final of the Turkish league. Also was bad in the last final of the TL in 2021 2022 season. Also the fact that she was always was winning Ecza with her team does not mean that she was better from Boskovic personally. For example I remember when the play a match for the turkish cup when Boskovic was much better and Vargas was mediorate despite the fact that Fner won 3 0. Also about Haak I do not know if it is right to judge this two matches against fener the last season when Imoco has some problems outside the court. Also then Vargas did not something amazing. Was like 15 points per match. After her rise if you want to count it from there Egonu and Haak was better and for Boskovic I do not remember.

    "She was bad in the Turkish final the last season ," she was bad because she was sick, She was playing with 40 degree fever. She was criying with Arina after that final.


    Go look her stats. they are not that bad. I don't have to time to check all her stats but when you are saying she is bad, that's one of her stats;


    in the second SF game against Vakıfbank in CL last season:

    18 points %47 16/89 +11 WL,

    rest of the team was %38 21/55 -8 WL

    I think saying Vargas is the best is much worse than saying Haak is. Vargas still has a LOT more to prove to be on the level of the other 3

    She is at least on the same level.


    Last summer and in the last 2 seasons with Fenerbahçe, she proved what kind of player she is. Do ı need to remind you she was playing with an injury before that?


    How much higher level of a team can she face than Italy, Serbia, USA, Vakıfbank and Imoco? She played a lot against these teams and was mostly really good. Even when they were eliminated by Vakıfbank last year, Vargas was not that bad, the rest of the team performed poorly. I remember only few bad games where she was sick or just joined the team.

    This is not true. I remeber a lot of times which the beat her but is a lot of work to search also this and it is boring. Sure I remember the Turkish cup final when Egonu was better and also in the second semifal despite the fact that Fener won Egonu has more points. Also in the semifinal of Euro Vargas had 27 points in 5 set and Paola had 25 points in 4 sets ( but I can understand someone who can say that Vargas was killing it at the end). Also I remember other times when Paola was still in Imoco but the level between them was chaotic back then. Also aboyt Haak I remember a cup final when Haak had like 45 vpoints and Vargas almost 20 less. Also I remember that she was better generally in the turkish finals and specially they had big difference in the last final which had more matter with Haak being wonderful and Vargas awful. Anyway there are a lot of examples. Probably this is something like impression of yours but it is not true.

    Vargas win last 10 game against Boskovic...


    They played 2 matches with Haak in the last club season and Vargas was the better at both of them. No need to count but Vargas also destroyed Sweden when they met last summer.


    Haak's Vakıfbank time was 2 years ago, when Vargas's rise had just begun. I don't look at this games much because it was so long ago. However, during that period, there was no period in which Haak was so superior to Vargas, except for the Kupa Volley final. Haak was very out of form at that time. Probably the worst period her career. on the other hand, Vargas was so consistent.


    As for Egonu, she is the one with whom Vargas has played the most close matches among these three. I can't say that she has a clear advantage over Egonu, but if you look at the matches she played against these three names, Vargas was better in at least 13-15 of last 20 matches.



    My point is that when you look at the last 1-2 years, she is in the best form out of these 4. or at least she is on same level.

    For me it's definitely Haak, Egonu, Boskovic in top three. Vargas is soon there but hasn't proved it yet, she is also more power but easier to "shut down" than those three from what I've seen so far. Call me out if Im wrong but isn't Vargas spike reach like 10 cm lower than the other three?


    And I'd say Boskovic and Egonu are not as consistent as Haak but can get into a higher "god level" tier than Haak sometimes. :P

    But to count out Haak from those three is weird to me, considering all of her achievements as Steven brought up.

    When Vargas plays against this trio, she is usually the one who looks better. I think being stopped easier is a comment from 2-3 years ago. I can't remember the last time Vargas played so badly. She always plays above a certain level.

    Imoco will probably win but if boskovic enters god mode and elif plays like she did today using her properly then maybe just maybe

    I am sure Eczacıbaşı won't lose easily but yeah they defnietely lose. They don't have enough quality and winning mentality to beat İmoco. Rather than Boskovic, their OHs need to play at their best but it is unlikely.

    I suspect imoco has a bigger budget than turkish teams & scandicci next season for sure. Look at that squad: haak, gabi, zhu, pietrini??, wolosz and co. I see at least 3 1+ million players

    Turkish players earn with Turkish liras but italian players getting euros. plus, most of turkish players in Eczacıbaşı and Vakıfbank are from youth teams, so they are cheaper.


    Vakıfbank and Eczacıbaşı can give more money to foreigners than İmoco but one of the reason is that they don't pay much to their local players. people who dont't know this thing, and then by comparing their offers to big stars, they think Turkish clubs has much bigger budgets. İt was much bigger but last couple of years, İtalian clubs definitely reached Turkish clubs level.
