You could have the most commanding keeper in the world he will only add too a defence. If the defenders in front of him are not good enough he will ultimately fail. 

A more commanding keeper would drastically improve any defense

Nonsense. He is publicly backing  a young goal keeper who is actually here. You want him to say a player we haven't even signed yet will be number 1  

How does my post below extrapolate to the above? 

So Mowbray has backed down on resolving the team's biggest problem

Shinnie signs a pre-contract at Derby. Rovers don't know their budget. 

Not sure what you're discussing? 

I just think that because one team has a pre contract with an average player I don't think that necessarily reflects badly on the other 91 league teams. Being "left behind" is hyperbole.

Targets of all types should be lined up, the window isn't open yet, we find out the budget before it is, off we go.

It's not ideal but I wouldn't lose my shit about it just yet.

Is this the problem? We are concerned about defence whilst most of the World is all about defense. We may be crap due to one friggin letter.

He was asked about Raya, if he said he wouldn't be number 1 next season before we have even signed another keeper what message would that send to Raya and what would it do for his confidence? Are you not advocating for youth to be given a chance on one hand and then on another saying he should be publicly hanging him out to dry?

A bit of a clue it’s a .com website. In the UK it’s defence.

Probably need a commanding keeper and defender along with a striker good enough so we can rest or even replace Graham at the very least. Also need a left back and maybe a decent midfielder if Smallwood, and Rodwell leave.

To be fair, if you look a little bit down and to the right on that very page that you linked, it does tell you the British spelling and US spelling for that word.

Improve I agree with. Drastically improve I don’t agree with.

For the record jim mk2 is quite correct as far as proper English Language is concerned, and you probably know that already.

The reality is that the bastardisation of the English Language by lazy Americanisation is winning the day and I'm getting to old to ''give one'' and the younger poorly educated generations within Britain are as much to blame as our old friends across the water.

Not much to do with Summer Transfers but interesting and anyway I know the square root of FA about who we should be looking at for our Defence , I wonder if that should now be an 'EFA' ?

Big dogg isn’t from Britain so he wouldn’t know.

The autocorrect here actually changed it to defense, I prefer the classic defence spelling. 

Anyway, whichever it is, we need to have a better one next season

American spelling. British English is defence

All I said was Mowbray has signalled that Raya is to be the No 1, which I believe is the wrong decision.  What Mowbray chose to say or not to say is up to him. As usual, you're making things up.

He was asked about Raya, if he didn't answer the question he would be implying he wouldn't be number 1, which would be stupid as we haven't even signed a new keeper. Why destroy a young lads confidence like that

I will leave it at that

Well, he wouldn't say that would he?  But it's not what I stated - and you in your usual fashion tried tried to make something of it.
