Turin’s transfer market kicks off from defence, retaining the Buongiorno-Schuurs and Pirola tandem is Vagnati’s jotter key – ‘The best defence is the attack’ is an old war proverb. A verdict (likely) valid for battlefields but not definitely for playing fields where, to be more precise, the phrase should be inverted.
It appears that the focus of Torino FC during this transfer window is on their defence. There’s a strong desire within the club to hang on to their key defensive players, the dynamic duo Buongiorno-Schuurs and Pirola.
Vagnati, main tactician for the club’s transfer strategy, has been quoted saying, “The best defence is the attack.” Although this old adage is typically used in context to combat, Vagnati has adopted it to express the club’s tactical approach to the transfer market. This phrase might suggest a defensive strategy is in play, with Torino keen on keeping its defensive assets secure.
However, it’s crucial to note that the club’s strategy might not purely be defensive. As Vagnati rightly pointed out, the old war proverb is applicable solely on the battlefield and not necessarily on the pitch. Determining the implications of his words may require a bit of inversion, suggesting that Torino might be on the offensive in their transfer strategy.
Whether it’s an attack or a defence strategy, the importance of Buongiorno-Schuurs and Pirola to the club’s plans remains clear. It’ll be interesting to see how Torino manages to uphold its defence on its transfer market playing field.
