As I described in length in the trade thread, one options is also we leave the current 5 starters as they are and add 2 or 3 solid bench pieces. Might be more realistic based on assets we will have available.

Could you share who do you have in mind here?

That game can't be taken as representative imho, as T-Pups really didn't play anything resembling defense and a lot of players looked good in that match. It was much different story against SA, as far as Lee is considered.
If we would be thinking about changing the starting line-up, I would be looking only at an option of adding a strong defender, because the other four players will still provide good enough offense. There two players that fit this description. We already tried one and he wasn't happy - plus he doesn't really look that great defender to me. So, MKG is the only one that I would consider trying. I am really worried line-ups with Wright and MKG at the same time will be overwhelmed by all serious teams.
