Not to mention, Lungi's done well at left-back before.

McLean was better at LB

Rather see him at LCB to be honest.

McLean > Sorensen in any position though. Sadly, we only have one of him.

McLean was awful at LB, decent at LCB but no not LB.

Sorensen is a better defender than either Giannoulis or McCallum, including at left back. But Wagner likes his fullbacks to provide attacking width and be adventurous so Sorensen is not an option in his system. So I can't see how we can let both of our left backs leave unless this Montoia lad is in the frame.

Looks like he's being pushed a little.

Would be happy if we could sell Gian this window, go with Sam and promote Montoia for remainder of season, especially if Gian is likely to depart for free come the summer.

I don't see him fitting Wagner's system where the fullbacks push high up the pitch. You need a natural left footer, more pace and attacking intent.

You've just described Mumba (Albeit a right footer), and Wagner didn't want him based on type of player, apparently.
