Corluka is the slowest fullback in the EPL under the age of 30 and maybe all of Europe. He doesn't provide much offensively either. If we can get 8+ million for him, I'd be glad.
Saying Corluka offers nothing going forward is one of the most ignorant things I've read on here.
Sorry Houston, but...he's right.
Charlie might not be that pacy but he is one of the most solid full-backs, defensively, in this country.
As for the offensive-lack myth, I have heard it before, and whenever you offer any evidence against it it is just ignored. It is true that he doesn't overlap with his winger like Hutton does and whip crosses in...as much, though he does do it, I've seen him. But some would argue that by doing that Hutton often gets in Lennon's way, or makes him pretty much redundant. But Charlie does find runners with excellent through balls that lead to either dangerous crosses or direct shots on goal - this is very much offensive play, and very much overlooked by thosse who just want to see him dashing to the byline at 300 MPH.
