  • CEV Champions League 2026

    Quote from serdar

    By the way korneluk is having a terrible season. I always wondered why none of the big clubs ever tried to transfer her after having good seasons in polish league but this season her performance shows that she isn't a player for a top club. Her attack performance is very bad season long and her block isn't at a level to compensate her lack of offense. Also her missed serve at second set yester when Fenerbahçe had set point killed the momentum of the team🤦 she has such an easy serve without even jumping, how can she miss it:down::aww:

    This sounds pretty biased and a bit delusional tbh. CL performance: 16 blocks the most out of all Fenerbahce players, attacking with 54,41% (4th among all players) and 44,12% efficiency (6th place), the highest ranked Fenerbahce player. Maybe it is not her best season but not terrible at all.

    Also this part about serve is just... so laughable. Every player misses a serve under pressure sometimes. By the way, her easy serves made her serving 11 times yesterday, in 2 sets. Just as many as Vargas, Arina, but they played 3 sets.


    Maybe you should look at Eda's and Asli's performances yesterday too? But take off your pink glasses before.

    Quote from volleySrb

    So if you are that smart what about this scenario. They can be paid every second month, can this be considered then getting paid or not?

    As a clearly smarter person than me, you should know the answer. But here we go: even if payments are made every 2 months, if the ammount not paid accumulate to more than 2 months, then the player can report it to FIVB, provided they give the club a chance to settle. If not then there is nothing to do and no need for discussion. Delays in payment are pretty common and happens frequently.


    PS: Next time, spare us the "smart guy" remarks and condescending tone – stick to the facts without the personal attacks.

    Quote from Karl

    I don't know what Zeren's case is, nobody does since it's not disclosed.


    But athletes can't just leave with an active contract lol. Only when contracts are set for further negotiations and for that another party must be interested to force a trade. Otherwise any of those players who would leave are liable to serious consequences and they end up being in a worse situation than not getting paid.

    What are you talking about? If a player is not getting money for at least 2 months they can break a contract. No consequences.

  • Poland - Tauron Liga 2026/27

    Quote from elysus

    Was it her decision to skip NT last year? From what I remember someone posted that Lavarini didn’t call her or Alagierska due to the drama between their boyfriends. But if I’m wrong feel free to correct me. And yes when Bartman interrupted he precisely said ex NT player so I assume that she won’t be a part of NT this year.

    I heard that she said no to Lavarini. I do not feel in the position to say what was the reason but it was about Górecka what Stysiak said in one of the interviews.

    Quote from elysus

    I didn’t see that thread for Polish NT 2026 so I’m typing it here. I watched the interview with Bartman and even though he didn’t talked much about Górecka he made it clear to say that she is ex NT player. So I’m guessing she still won’t be called by Lavarini this year. It’s a shame since she is playing easily the best out of our OHs in Turkiye and we are clearly missing a good receiver in our NT.

    I watched it too. I don't know which parts you are referring to. He said something that she will finish season in March and then in April they want to go to vacations. But it is still time until camp of NT starts. Later there is a part that host says that she is NT member and Bartman interrupts (~16,30 min). Did he say: "była" eng. former?
    Secondly, why are you writing that she still won't be called by Lavarini this year and it sounds like she didn't get a call last year, while it was her decision to skip NT. If she will not get a call it will be rightfully so.

  • Turkey - Vodafone Sultanlar Ligi 2025-2026

    Quote from Tyler

    I’m not talking about Sylla having a bad moment, but about the whole match and future matches in general. If he isn’t able to change a weak link during the game, don’t blame it on limit, blame it on his preferences, that’s all. Barbolini has a very balanced squad when it comes to wing spikers and can easily rotate the lineup.

    You were wondering how he changed Sylla and not Ilkin... in that particular match...That's what you wrote. So I explained why he did what he did in that match. He couldn't make direct change of Ilkin. Also there was no need to change her in that match. They were 2-0 in sets, very easily won and then it was 18-18 in third set. There was no need to change something that was working.
    Of course he has options but he is not that type that rotate a lot. At least it is how I remember him. So I am afraid Łukasik will not see a lot of court. That last minute transfer of Sylla was terrible for Łukasik. She went there knowing that probably she will play with Ilkin. Unfortunate choice of the team after a season on bench in Conegliano.

    Quote from Tyler

    Of course it hasn’t—he can replace Timmerman with Aycin if he wants to. Are you aware that they’ve only played two official games together? Why isn’t the Naz-Alexia duo considered a good fit? Is it because of Boskovic? Alexia is a completely different player than her. As far as I remember, she played really well with Neslihan in the national team. There are plenty of options; he can rotate more than Guidetti did a year ago. At this point, this seems to be only his preference, not a limitation due to foreign players. Period.

    Of course it has... Why he would ever do that when they were leading 2-0 in sets and start struggling a bit in the 3rd set? Even if Ilkin wasn't good there was no reason to make such changes. It is volleyball and not chess. He did basic thing changing Sylla who had bad moment in the match and in the situation when he probably thought that a set is lost. And also Timmerman was sitting at bench so how he could change her? I agree that he can rotate and change starting line-ups. He will not make changes like this in the matches, especially if the things go right. You were asking why he changed Sylla and not Ilkin in that particular match and not generally speaking.


    I saw also some friendlies. It was always Naz-Grobelna, Bongaerts-Alexia.


    Łukasik should be happy that she is in match squad and not on the stands like Frantti...

  • Turkey - Vodafone Sultanlar Ligi 2025-2026

    How it has nothing to do? He couldn't replace Ilkin with Łukasik. There were 3 foreigners on court. And he will not use Naz-Alexia duo. Forget about it. It is obvious that for him Bongaerts will play with Alexia and Naz with Grobelna. He never tried Naz-Alexia duo as far as I remember. It has probably a lot to do with the fact that Naz and lefties is not a good fit. Sylla will play because she is Italian and Ilkin because she is Turkish and captain and some kind of star of the team, playing there for years. So yeah, Łukasik will barely play. Period.

    Quote from Tyler

    Yesterday, she had 4/5 in attack when she subbed Sylla. What’s strange for me that Barbolini replaced the Italian player instead of Ilkin who had less than 30% in attack, while Sylla was around 50%.

    Foreigners limits and at that moment they stucked with Sylla in front row and she made like 2 or 3 mistakes in a row. He can rotate but won't. I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. Łukasik will only sub Sylla when he will not have any other choice and maybe play in some matches when she will need rest. Ilkin is locked in starting six due to her being Turkish.

    FIVB at its best. In any serious federation they would test new rules during their major event...
