Quote from iceman006

she's still lacking in reception and digs (pretty much like mari during her early years... well almost whole career) i think the best way for her in the meantime is to be a non-receiving oh then china must have a strong receiving opp to cover her in defense

I think they can do that, as they did with Wang Yimei.. except that I don't know who's the OPP that is a good receiver.. I really like Chunlei and I think she did receive sometimes but she is not a receiver so I don't know what their options are

Sheilla looks soo good in that jersey and in the last pic

Quote from kondzio

Good to read that Lina also decided to come back

So we may have in WCH:
S: Ferretti, Rondon/Aguero
OP: Centoni, Diouf
OH: Piccinini, L.Bosetti, Del Core, Fiorin/Di Iulio/Sorokaite/Rosso
MB: Arrighetti, Barazza, Chirichella/Folie/Calloni (2 of 3)
L: Merlo, De Gennaro

If I were the coach I'd take
S: Ferretti, Rondon
OP: Centoni
OH: Picci, L. Bosetti, Del Core, Fiorin, Sorokaite (also OPP)
MB: Arrighetti, Calloni, Barazza, Folie
L: Merlo, De Gennaro

So I think it would be wiser to have 2 attacking OH since the other 3 are very good passers.. Having Diouf as sub is not so wise since Centoni should start and Sorokaite can play as OPP too in case of emergency, but she can come into court and spike some ball$. Its a pity all of a sudden there are so many good OHs who deserve to play in WCH.. Rosso and De Iulio also were very good

Quote from Diesse14

so it is official! Centoni, Piccinini, Ferretti and Del Core are back! I'm so happy, I hope they'll work well as they can be really competitive!

Del Core.. I mean she is good yes but she should leave space for younger girls.. Picci is needed she is not. Bisetti is here to pass and can pretty much kill the ball

Quote from Emil

Yeah, after having a decent season in Muszyna, she MUST have gone to somewhere she could play as starting OPP. Never like Moscow. Perhaps they managed to convince her with sweet words like "Obmochaeva is not so healthy, so you will be given a ton of chances to get to play." Well, How many games did she play as starter? I haven't seen her that much.

I miss her days in Novara, perhaps in Muszyna too. I hope she doesn't go to Azerbaijan to be wasted on bench just like so many players nowadays.

I don't think she will. Not after this season, she will want to play as a starter for sure. Why sit on bench in Azerbaijan? Has Lokomotiv already signed an OPP or Igtisadchi? Also I think she is a good player so she can go to Turkey perhaps in Bursa or Besiktas

Quote from joanamss

Partizan confirmed they will play Champions LEague.

They have quite a good roster.. Rankovic is a very good player. I know she had some misunderstanding with them before.. I hope she continues to grow and makes to Serbia NT since they need stable receivers

Quote from Emil

Do you want Atom to be destroyed? But yes, with Micelli being the coach, thats pretty possible.

No I don't. And I think senna ia a good hard working player, who deserbes to be given a chance and to perform like she knows

Quote from kondzio

So now we can think about some players in Atom Micielli can guarantee that we may have few known names in club. Of course first is Usic what I've already mentioned

I really hope he brings Senna

Quote from Matthias

Ezhova played for Fakel in 13/14, Tretyakova was Moscow's libero before they transfered Malova.

Fakel played 2 libero system most of the time as far as I remember, but I'm not sure if Ezhova was the receiver or the defender libero. However, Kazan won't waste a foreigner spot for a libero, and of those available in Russia Ezhova is among the better ones I think...Malova or Kryuchkova would have been the best options but they seem to stay in Moscow and Krasnodar.

By last season I meant 2012/2013.. However thanks

Quote from Matthias

According to Volleyrussia, Elena Ezhova will be the libero of Dinamo Kazan next season.

If I remember right she was playing for Moskow last season and wasn't so good.. right?

Quote from ladybugg

They're absolutely horrible. HORRIBLE. The guys look as if they had their pants pulled up all the way to their nipples. Awful design. What makes them even worse is the fact this is our WCH year and so these match outfits are gonna be seen on photographs absolutely everywhere. For decades. They really could have thought of something nicer. Something similar to the 2012 World League kits would do for me.

Best uniform Poland had was London 2012. I agree these jerseys are really bad

Quote from joanamss

Yeah...Im not really suprised with this result, I mean Czech Rep is a very good team...they had a bad season last one...but having Havelkova back is very helpfull...of course it is still beginning of season for them too, but I think they can achieve great results...

For Italy, look the roster...I really doubt any of them will be in starting line for Italy later in the year....its a mix of B and C team...so I guess the result is quite natural....

I agree

I don't know why everyone is putting Vakif as the weakest.. Yes both Fener and Ecz have and impressive roster but remember Vakuf has Naz, one of the best setters in yhe world not just Turkey.. and also if Vasileva is official in Vakif then they hace their big hitter..

Quote from estranged

First Daymi comes back to Brazil, now a Cuban in Osasco. Adenizia must be THRILLED

She should be... especually after that 'moment' they had in Zurich last week

Anyone has info about the Red Vs. Blue scrimmage, played last night? I can't find any

So till now volero has Carcases and Rabadzieva as OHs and Mijalvoci is rumored to go there.. do they plan to have someone who can pass.. Having such a great setter as Antonijevic is in vain when you don't have a decent passing

Quote from Toguttt

Alisha Glass officially in Imoco Volley Conegliano
http://www.imocovolley.it/alis…regista-dellimoco-volley/

Great tranfer for Conegliano.. I hope for Alisha too.. She had a good connection with Barazza back in Modena.. I hope they do good in CL

Quote from vava12

Aelbrecht in Busto Arsizio

So Valentina to Cannes might be true

Quote from foreigner

Where can you find a list with all the transfers?

There is a seperate thread 'Female players and teams 2014/2015' There you can find rumors and official transfers

Quote from jo1105

Who is maren en apitz?
:-S

Edit : OK I don't Know how she play but she is gorgeous! Cannes will have the pretiest setter
Does somebody knows how long is the contract?

She is a German setter, played for Dresden. She played for Fermany in ECH and WC 2011.. She is a solid setter, makes some good combinations.
